Synopsis
"Lately fantasy rarely surprises and seldom delights, but Terry Persun's novel Doublesight does both and more. Richly textural, complicated in character, and presenting a world unlike any other, this debut imbues new blood into the genre. It is a stunning fantasy for the new millennium."--James Rollins, New York Times bestselling author of the Sigma Force series"Persun's captivating new fantasy raises the art of shape shifting to a new level. Enter the world of Doublesight where man and animal are one. A fresh adventure awaits!"-- Janet Lee Carey, bestselling author of DragonswoodNow part of Kindle Worlds' fan fiction site. After the Doublesight Wars, dangerous and cruel shape shifters were killed off by the humans. To protect themselves, the other doublesight decided to hide their gifts and congregate into their own villages or clans, and avoid humans. Now new rumors, of violent and dangerous doublesight--gryphons, harpys, dragons--have again riled the humans. The twin granddaughters of the crow clan's sage, Zimp and Zora, are the last descendants of their powerful shapeshifting family and must help guide their clan. The reticent Zimp is relieved when her sister is chosen to take her grandmother's position instead of herself. When the clan is attacked, Zimp finds Zora murdered. Now Zimp is forced to take over her sisters responsibilities and lead the clan. The doublesight council assembles to assess the situation with the rumors and they decide to send a team to investigate. This team the council decides will be led by Zimp, and now Zimp must find a way to lead four strong and difficult men in order to help save her people. Struggling with her own shamanic visions and astute intuition, and trying to hold a stable position as leader, Zimp finds herself in the center of a changing world full of sorcery and must decide on her real place within it...
About the Author
Terry Persun's books have taken readers to the uncharted worlds near the edge of the galaxy ("Hear No Evil"), to lands where shape shifters battle humans (the "Doublesight" series), to the near future in both technology ("The Killing Machine" and "Revision 7: DNA") and shamanism ("The NSA Files" and "The Voodoo Case"), all while keeping the pace with thriller/suspense novels. He's also ventured into history ("Sweet Song" and "Ten Months in Wonderland"), contemporary crime ("Man by the Door" and "Mistake In Identity"), and mainstream novels ("The Perceived Darkness", "Wolf's Rite", and "Deception Creek"). Despite his adventures into other worlds, altered states, and other people's lives, he is said to be fairly average--but that's not a consensus by any means. Persun lives in Washington state with his wife, seven horses, dozen or so chickens (at any one time), and several cats (a few strays). There's no telling what animals will come to live with them next. When he's not writing or with the animals...well, you probably won't see him--except here: www.TerryPersun.com
