6/21/2023 0 Comments Daughter of Lir by Judith Tarr![]() ![]() ![]() The Mother of Lir is dying and Rhian dreams of cages. Rhian grows up a potter's child in Long Ford and the wind whispers secrets in her ear. Of course, that couldn't happen or there wouldn't be a story. The baby is sent away with a priestess who just lost her own child, fated to live and die in obscurity. But her priestesses have foreseen that this child, ' Lastborn, Stormborn' will bring their destruction. The tale opens as the young Mother of the city of Lir rejoices in the birth of a daughter. It deals with the clash between early patriarchal and matriarchal cultures, in a period of history in which (at least in the belief systems of the time) the gods were close and influenced events. In Daughter of Lir, Judith Tarr continues a series that began with White Mare's Daughter. ![]()
