| Name: Rilsin Appearance: dark hair, dresses mostly in black Gift/Talent: a true connection to the land Story: The Sword of the Land After a blood-fued for leadership of the land, Rilsin (the true Saeket) must accept the lesser role of first minister to her cousin Sithli. She devotes her life to the land and to her cousin, but as she grows into womanhood she begins to discover there are those who would rather place their loyalties in her. Though Sithli is not very interested in her duties, Rilsin does everything in her power to try to bring a better order and a lasting peace to the people. As the true Saeket, afterall, she seems to have a natural feel for possibilities and events. When Rilsin starts to notice how controlling and munipulative Sithli is and how unjustly the lands are being ruled, she also begins to see just how many people would be willing to back her up if she chose to reclaim her power. This book comes complete with a loyal and determined heroine, characters who could be friend or enemy, questions of love, uncertainties of right and wrong, and (best of all) cool hunting cats.
