Riders of the Storm
{4.5/5} “The exiles would change whatever Clan they tried to join… Sona offered what she’d never imagined — the possibility of living apart from other Clans, to be themselves, to risk only themselves. To become something new.”
Riders of the Storm by Julie E. Czerneda, published in 2008
Aryl and her fellow exiles are headed to Rayna. Along the way her cousin Seru claims that they’re heading into a dangerous place where people have died. Aryl stumbles across an Om’ray skeleton caught in a trap — Seru was right. When Enris communicates telepathically with her, he’s able to show her what’s he’s seeing — a new Talent.
This is the sequel to Reap the Wild Wind.
It’s about people looking for a new home, and investigating a new part of their world. And, as with all these books, it’s about trying to communicate with confusing aliens.
The 2 main characters spend much of the book apart, because they’re on different missions.
I’ve read 15 books by Czerneda.
