Here we have a story with so much deceit among the reigning factions for ultimate control and perfect timing for The Vision to come to pass. Helen Andros is the heroine, who will save the two races (the Toltecs and the Turanians) from themselves. She is a very caring tough-minded physician in the military, who won’t tolerate anything but the best in herself. Her life, while growing up, was very emotional and wounded by others because of her illegitimate half-breed status in Azgard, a realm divided by race and rank.
She is captured while trying to save the life of someone important she knew as a youth. When she learns the true identity of her father, who never knew of her, it leads to saving her from the death planned for her. Although it endangers her parent for his speaking out for her, it leaves them both confused and angry with her mother. She must come to the acceptance of becoming a leader, and act accordingly to save those she love.
The Vision is truly a fascinating story of political gains, murder, mystery, and the true love that will be needed to overcome the destruction planned for certain people. This is the first book in The Green Stone Healing series and the story told from the viewpoint of a Consort. I was overwhelmed at first, trying to figure out the roles of the characters, and the parts they would play in each other’s lives. Let me tell you, Helen’s actions had me wondering when someone would get her to step in line but she handled everything better than I thought she would. I was very impressed with her dedication to her practice and her determination to find answers for cures of any disease.
It is interesting that The Vision was revealed to Helen’s mother, through the otherworldly Mist-Weavers, who are ancient, secretive beings and their involvement with how the world would be. I am wondering if the characters realized the full impact of these beings, and the respect they deserved in saving the lives of the races. C. L. Talmadge has spun a wonderful fantasy tale that is only in the beginning stages, and I for one am looking forward to the next books in this series.
