EARTH LOGIC
A sweeping drama of war, intrigue, magic, and love...

With Earth Logic, Laurie J. Marks continues the epic of her stunningly imagined world of Shaftal, which
she first introduced in Fire Logic.

Shaftal has a ruler again, a woman with enough power to heal the war-torn land and expel the invading
Sainnites from Shaftal. Or it would have a ruler if the earth witch Karis GтАЩdeon consented to rule.
Instead, she lives in obscurity with the fractious family of elemental talents who gathered around her in
Fire Logic. She is waiting for some sign, but no one, least of all Karis herself, knows what it is.

Then the Sainnite garrison at Watfield is attacked by a troop of zealots claiming to speak for the Lost
GтАЩdeon, and a mysterious and deadly plague attacks the land, killing both Sainnites and Shaftali. Karis
must act or watch her beloved country fall into famine and chaos. And when Karis acts, the very stones
of the earth sit up and take notice.

тАФBooklist (starred review)


тАЬFire Logic is a deftly painted story of both cultures and magics in conflict. Marks avoids the
black-and-white conflicts of generic fantasy to offer a window on a complex world of unique cultures and
elemental magic.тАЭ
