Review Summaries
"This book is about a young woman named Orb. She's born with extraordinary musical talent, and at the early age of 7, she begins her search for the "llano" - a mythical song which apparently cures all ills. "
serenity, Resident Piers Anthony Scholar
" This book isn't a basic fantasy book with dragons and unicorns. It isn't a basic science fiction book with spaceships and so forth. This book is different, and it hard to describe. It's part of a series, number 5 in the Incarnations of Immortality. It is about the woman who becomes the Incarnation of nature, also known as Gaea. At first she is like any normal mortal woman, except for her amazing musical talents. She is on a quest for a certain melody. In this book she falls in love with a man, who can sing beautifully. However, she finds out he isn't who she thought he is. It's an excellent book, so I won't spoil the ending."
