The Light of the Oracle

This is a great book! I’m only half way through, but it’s so amazing. This is the “about” thing:

A child born to such a calling is often called a dreamer…

Bryn is a humble stonecutter’s daughter, accusomed to being tagged the odd one, the stange girl, the shiftless creature. She is disturbed by visions of things no one else can see, sneered at because she talks to the wind and sky. Why, then, does the village priest think so highly of her?

But the day comes when a spinning thistledown leads Bryn to her destiny-to a place very different from the tiny village where she spent her first fifteen years. She enters the famous Temple of the Oracle, and discovers that her innate gifts make her a terrifying threat to those who seek to abuse the Temple’s power for their own glory.

Though her desires are simple – friendship with other handmaids, and gaining the love of Kiran, a remarkable horse-trainer – she soon finds her path obscured by complex troubles. Struggling to keep the flame of her spirit pure and bright, Bryn must overcome more obstacles than she could ever imagine.

This book is soooo amazing, and even though there isn’t a lot of action (…yet…) it is incredibly suspensful! I mean I’ve read 121 pages in 3 hours. I can’t put it down very easily. (WOOT!) …Yea… ;-) (I’ve now finished it and there was a medium amount of action, and a very good plot. I loved every moment of it!) you should deffinitly read it!
