Talyn:

A Novel of Korre
Front Cover
29 Reviews
Macmillan, Nov 28, 2006 - Fiction - 576 pages
In a world where technology is magic, and war is the only way of life, Talyn is a soldier...
 
...raised from birth to fight for her people and her country. She long ago embraced her fate: to die in battle. So when a shocking peace sweeps her land, she's cast adrift, and easily seduced by an outsider's touch, his new magic -- but his passions are evil and run deep, and Talyn soon finds herself twisted by his touch.
 
Through him she discovers darkness within herself she'd never suspected--and the mistreatment of prisoners of war, the creeping blackness sneaking through her land, the insidious evil that no one even suspected their peacekeepers of bringing.
 
Now she must weigh her life against her honor if she is to help her people regain their freedom...
