Dream Seeker — J.A. Ferguson

Legendary quests of passion and courage have saved their world before . . .

Will they be the first lovers to destroy it?

Lajila's world is silent. She is a shapechanger who does not possess the magic of dreamsinging. How can such a weakling serve the ruler-the Tiria-of Gayome in a battle to restore the once-magnificent land to its former glory? In the midst of her doubts, a remarkable stranger appears in her village, and, to her shock, she can hear his thoughts.

Kallen is one of the Palim, an ancient race whose gift is the ability to keep balance between Gayome and the rest of the universe. He's on a quest to find another of his kind-a search he fears might prove futile.

From the moment they meet, Lajila and Kallen are bound together-but for good or evil? The strange alchemy between their mismatched gifts combines with undeniable passions that produce desires so hot that fire-real fire-is a result, leaving the Tiria's village in ruins and all food supplies destroyed. The lives of the people depend on Lajila and Kallen's strength to conquer the dangerous force that threatens them.

Will they be the instrument of Gayome's final destruction . . . or vanquish the magical land's enemies in the ultimate victory?
