Summary of this Book...
A new writer with a new world...Arikon is the land of peace and Tibre is the land of evil. A naitan (say magician, witch, what have you) discovers she has even more power than has ever been thought possible. Kallista's power is there to conquer evil...except she will need more power to do what she is destined to do.

The One (the supreme power) sends companions to Kallista. Each one does not have magic until they meet Kallista. She ignites their powers, tying all six members of the band together with devotion, power and sex. They must then set out to find and destroy the demon that is holding power over Tibre.
I especially liked...
Gail Dayton eagerly allowed a female dominant society to flower. The intertwining of family and power was depicted nicely.
I didn't like...
This land was two dimensional. Good was good, evil was evil. Shades of grey were few and far between. This is her first work for Luna. I'm hoping that new depth to characters and plots will develop in the future.
When I finished reading this Book I wanted to...
I would read a sequel, and the final chapter clearly sets up the next adventure.
I recommend this Book because...
A new twist in the Sci-Fi world. A story clearly aimed at the female audience, with its focus on family and relationships. I enjoyed that part of it.
