Blurb:

Human doctor Isol James is determined to find a cure for the diabetes killing his mother.

After all, don seem to have immunity to all human illnesses and testing them should lead to a solution to the awful disease. But when friends introduce his mother to a potential cure, he vehemently rejects it. “Nothing ‘natural’ can cure diabetes,” he claims.

Turl, Isol’s friend and future three-species physician, embarks on a plan to change the doctor’s mind.

Meanwhile, commerce and sharing of knowledge increases between those of the West Continent and the newly discovered civilization across the Blade Ocean, The People of the Way.

Claire, a human child adopted by the Wee family, struggles with maturing at a different rate than her new sister. Determined to understand the disparities between don and humans while paying her own way, she enrolls in medical school and takes employment with Dr. James.

Sparks fly among them over Isol’s stubborn refusal to investigate alternative treatments as his mother’s life hangs in the balance..

Meet Carol Buhler

I spent sixty years working with horses in between being a wife, a mom, and having different non-equine careers (had to pay for the horses) until finally, I could devote my full-time attention to them. Raising, training, and competing on various breeds in multiple disciplines, I considered myself a jack of all horse venues, master of none. I’ve traveled the US hauling a horse trailer with my one horse on the left side of the two-horse divider, the household furnishings on the right side, and the fishing boat tied to the top. My family moved to Texas from Colorado with my barrel horse and my son’s pinto pony in that same trailer and my daughter’s white Shetland poking her nose at the traffic through the stock racks of the pickup. And I’ve hauled a nine-horse trailer with living quarters over the mountains and across the plains or desert to wherever a horse show could be found. In Wyoming, I raised Appaloosas and went on cattle drives. In Colorado, I rode quarter horses to barrel races and Gymkhanas. In Texas, I exercised polo ponies and trained parade Palomino Walking Horses. Tennessee and California saw me compete in Eventing. I’ve ridden trails all over the west on everything from a Thoroughbred to a Draft Horse to a Mule. When we finally settled in Utah, I not only competed in Dressage, Hunters, Jumpers, Polocross, and Combined Driving, I also developed the Pegasus Event Center which has hosted competitions in all the above venues. However, I learned the most about horses from managing the Pegasus herd for over twenty years, at one time numbering 145 horses. They were competitive horses of every breed, from mustangs to miniatures to a $65,000 Lusitano. Every horse had a unique personality and was willing to teach something if a human would but listen. To share my wonder and love of this extraordinary species—⁠the horse—⁠I created Lillith and her world of the future because I also love reading science fiction. On the planet Gareeth, telepathic winged horses, the reeth, are intelligent, loving, and infinitely tolerant. They dote on their human-like mind-mates, the don, helping maintain tempers, sharing hopes and dreams, and devoting their lives to supporting don endeavors. As a horsewoman, I would love to have a reeth at my side. Once my main character Lillith got ahold of me, she did not let me go. She demands that I share my horse knowledge in my stories through her, her friends, and her family. Currently, I live in Ecuador where I spend every day reading or writing. Unfortunately, riding has become a hobby of my past as I age.
