Through Kestrel's Eyes, the sequel to Back From Chaos in the Earth's Pendulum trilogy begins seventeen years later. The peace that followed the end of the Red Plague is shattered when the lords of Gharn and Leith are toppled by traitors, throwing the land into chaos Liannis, the goddess Earth's seer, her apprenticeship interrupted by the death of her mentor, must help restore the Balance. Until it is, Earth's power is weakened, preventing Earth from sustaining the rains needed for good harvests. Drought and famine result. Liannis battles self-doubt and the lure of forbidden romance and deep loss as she faces tests that take her to the brink of her endurance. But Earth sends a kestrel that allows Liannis to see with her eyes and a white horse to carry her, both with the ability to mind-speak. Time is short. The people will starve if Earth cannot heal and the Balance cannot be restored.
