The Silences of Home
It is a time of bounty in the Queensrealm, thanks to Queen Galha, whose wisdom and power are legendary. Her scribes record the glorious events of her reign, but beneath these words lie others—shameful, heartbreaking, and true—that threaten to destroy the realm.
This magnificent prequel to A Telling of Stars is a saga of epic sweep, deeply realized characters, and page-turning suspense. The Silences of Home explores the gulf between official and unwritten accounts of history, and the ways in which individuals, knowingly or not, shape the events of their time—events that pass into myth...or silence.

"As soon as I started SILENCES, I thought, "This is going to break my heart." And it did, but Sweet's skill is such that I didn't mind. If you like Guy Kay, or Patricia McKillip, you'll want to give it a try. The story is mostly about Lanara and Nellyn, and Alea and Aldron. But it is also the story of choice, consequence and redemption: of love, loss and making things right. Of how words can refine and capture past and present, lies and truth - and above all, change.
This one's on the Must Read list. Highly recommended."
