Elizabeth Kerner - Kindred Trilogy

Song In The Silence ~ Elizabeth Kerner
Back Cover Synopsis: Lanen Kaeler has spent her whole life being told just how wrongheaded and foolish she is by her entire family. When Lanen's father dies, she chooses to leave her abusive relatives and search out the dragons she has always dreamed of, though she knows what she seeks may not be real. But those who hold the true power know that prophecies have been told of Lanen Kaelar since before her birth. The fear the destiny she may fulfill, the mysteries she may unravel - and the strange and terrifying love she may find on the legendary Dragon Isle.


The Lesser Kindred ~ Elizabeth Kerner
Back Cover Synopsis: Shortly after returning home with a husband who is more than he seems, Lanen's chance at happiness is threatened by the demon-master Berys, who is determined to capture Lanen, believing she is the key to his once and future domination of all her homeland. Young lovers are supposed to have happy endings - but those tales are no match for a mage's wiles and so Lanen and her man must flee. On their journey they will discover new friends and old enemies, make some startling discoveries...and stumble upon a truth that will change the world.


Redeeming The Lost ~ Elizabeth Kerner
Back Cover Synopsis: The time of prophecies is at hand and the Kantri (dragons) have chosen to return to the land of man after an eon of self-imposed exile. Much of what they find distresses them-the humans have squandered much of their heritage, and those who do remember the ancient ways have allied themselves with the race of demons who long to destroy the entire world. The Kanri look to Varien and Lanen to help them redeem what has been lost so long ago and to make the world right again. But Lanen is captured by the human demon-master Berys and it is up to Varien to form one of the most unlikely alliances and rescue her. The stage is set for a confrontation between the forces of light and darkness...and if Varien fails, Kantri and human alike will fall to ruin and the demon forces will rule forever...






I could NOT sleep until I finished this trilogy! This series of science fiction/ fantasy books by Elizabeth Kerner received 5 green faeries because I absolutely LOVED it! The human characters were well written and exciting to read about. I didn't think I would enjoy reading a book that jumps from person to person, but I did! It made the love and friendship each person felt for each other more believable. The Dragon lore that is told in this trilogy is one I have never read before. The beauty and complexity of the Kantri is beautiful. The story of father daughter is excitingly evil, the story between the Kantri King and his people is epic, the story between friends despite their race is pure and the story between Lanen and her husband is what all women are looking for...true love.
I would love to read more novels about the adventures of Lanen and her friends and family!
