The Cave of Visions — Pauline A. Harris

In The Cave of Visions, the second book in the Merins of Chyron series, the beautiful forest planet is threatened by a power hungry hidden enemy who is determined to usurp the Leaders and become King. He uses powerful magic, a hidden fortress and his sole access to a portal between worlds called the Cave of Visions, in a devastating onslaught to achieve his aims. Tessana, must once again wield her powerful and unpredictable magic. Silvar employs his genius for strategy, and Zerr calls on his strength and innate practicality, as the three Leaders are pushed to their limits fighting for the future of Chyron. Just who is the Prince of Shades?

Tessana tries to follow her humane instincts but in doing so she commits a cardinal sin according to the Merins. Can she convince them that she has done the right thing, and even is she can, will they ever forgive her for it?

Who will be the Leader of the new village? Jealousy, intrigue, desire and greed all lead to danger, but Tessana is surprised when she receives help from a very unlikely source.
