Redeeming the Lost by Elizabeth Kerner
With "Redeeming the Lost", Elizabeth Kerner returns to the world of Lanen Kaelar and the fabled creatures made real after centuries of doubt. The prophecies are coming true and the ancient race of Kantri - true dragons - have come back to Lanen's world. They bring ancient power and knowledge and the Kantri have come to see what the "littlings" have made of their world. But what they find is distressing, for humans have squandered their heritage, the small dragons that were left behind are little more than cattle - and those who do remember the ancient ways have allied themselves with a race of demons who long to destroy all the world. The Kantri are disturbed and look to Lanen and her love Varian to help them make the world right again. But Lanen has been captured by the demon - master Berys, who is intent upon using her powers to gain control of the universe. It is up to her true love, Varian and one of the most unlikely alliances ever seen to rescue Lanen. And if Varian fails, Lanen's life and the fates of his beloved Kantri hang in the balance. The stage is now set for a confrontation between the forces of light and darkness.
Elizabeth Kerner, as the daughter of a Navy doctor, has always found the simple question 'where are you from?' one of the most difficult. Born in Florida in 1958, she spent much of her early life being moved around the Northeast and the South of the US, including a brief but glorious sojurn in Kodiak, Alaska in 1969. She started writing while in high school in New Orleans and no-one has managed to stop her since. She received her MA in English Language (Philology) from St. Andrews University in Scotland in 1981, being one of the first Americans to complete a full degree course at that institution, and promptly joined the unemployment line. She spent a number of years as a non-fiction editor of medical and scientific books and journals, but when she moved to Hawaii in 1988 a whole series of new possibilities arose and she was variously employed as a grunt in the woodworking industry, an office manager for the Big Island AIDS Project, a trainee in furniture restoration and an apprentice goldsmith. By this time, however, her writing was starting to go somewhere, and her first novel, Song in the Silence, was published in 1997 by Tor.
She now lives with her best-beloved husband Steven in a small town just outside of Edinburgh Scotland, and from her upstairs window can just see, if she leans out, the looming towers of the nearby power station. If anyone would care to dynamite several inconvenient homes that are in the way, she would have a sea view. Any reasonable offers considered.
