"The characters' efforts to overcome the barriers that divide them and discover their common bonds provides a welcome depth to this series opener and sets the stage for future titles."                                                    

"Gathering steam for a united Silerian rebellion requires enough pages to allow Resnick to concoct a rich brew of conspiracies [and] simmer several juicy romantic entanglements in a heady broth of blood feuds and massacres... Big and brawly..."                   

"Creating a vast panorama that provides an intimate backdrop for the lives of her fascinating characters, Ms. Resnick writes with the shining wonder of truly great fantasy."

Book Two of the Silerian Trilogy

The White Dragon

When mystical sea spirits, a volcano goddess, and half-human subterranean sorcerers all demand a stake in Sileria's fate, then Mirabar, Tansen, and their allies must finally choose between love and duty, between history and destiny.

"Even better than the author's first book, In Legend Born... Resnick builds her tale on a solid foundation of consistent mythology and magic, well-rounded characters, and a collection of completely believable cultures... A suspenseful mix of vague prophecies, startling revelations, constantly shifting loyalties, and the occasional divine intervention, this stunning novel tantalizes right up to the last cliffhanger page."

"Vivid descriptions, three-dimensional characters, and a story filled with echoes of a distant past make this a stand-out addition to a fantasy series that belongs in most libraries. Highly recommended."

"Atmospheric world-building, dry humor, and appealing characters make The White Dragon an epic fantasy not to be missed."

"The characters are complicated and real. There are plenty of twists and surprises, and the pace quickens as you go. Resnick's world is dangerous and exciting, yet it has a history and many hidden facets."

* Map of Sirkara

"Fast-paced, witty and full of action, the book is a marvel of storytelling, but it's the credible, complex relationships among the characters that elevates this far above the usual fantasy standard... Resnick fans have cause to rejoice."

"Resnick's writing is as sharp as always. The book may be hefty but every word is essential... Characters are the heart of great writing, and this is great writing. Let's hope Resnick never stops."

"Free will wars with vague prophecy and divine intervention in this epic romantic fantasy, which will stay with readers long after the satisfying conclusion... [Resnick's] mythology and world-building are flawless, the characters are convincing and complex, and Sileria is intoxicatingly believable."

"Tansen [continues] his struggle to a breathless and satisfactory conclusion. The tale will certainly keep its series audience industriously turning pages and make them hope Resnick has more in store for them."
