L.E.Modesitt Jr., author of the hugely popular Eecluce series, has created a magnificent new fantasy world governed by the incredible power of song-magic. For one woman, it is to be a place of unimaginable wonders and terrifying danger. Anna Marshall is a singer and music instructor at Iowa State University who wishes she could be somewhere alse. The world in which she finds herself, however, is not what she had in mind. For on Erde, Anna Marshall is not just a professional singer: on Erde, her abilities make her a powerful sorceress. And this means that she immediately becomes a target, not only of the political factions, who fear the unknown, but also of the men of Erde, who fear a woman with the power she possesses. Anna must learn enough magic - and enough about Erde - to protect herself before it's too late. The Sporano Sorceress begins an epic new tale of sorcery, song and political intrigue by one of the most exciting storytellers in fantasy.
