YARed Abbey Chronicles series.
Maresi has learned to love the kind, cooperative way of life at Red Abbey, the vibrant women's community on a remote island committed to the rites of the First Mother. When traumatized newcomer Jai arrives, Maresi learns her own potent role in the power of the First Mother. Turtschaninoff puts traditional elements of female magic to effective dramatic use in this subtle fantasy.
