Naamah's Kiss
ByPublisher Description
From the New York Times bestselling author of the Kushiel's Legacy series comes an all new saga set in her unique Renaissance world.
Once there were great magicians born to the Maghuin Dhonn; the folk of the Brown Bear, the oldest tribe in Alba. But generations ago, the greatest of them all broke a sacred oath sworn in the name of all his people. Now, only small gifts remain to them. Through her lineage, Moirin possesses such gifts—the ability to summon the twilight and conceal herself, and the skill to coax plants to grow.
Moirin has a secret, too. From childhood onward, she senses the presence of unfamiliar gods in her life; the bright lady, and the man with a seedling cupped in his palm. Raised in the wilderness by her reclusive mother, it isn't until she comes of age that Moirin learns how illustrious, if mixed, her heritage is.
After Moirin undergoes the rites of adulthood, she finds divine acceptance—on the condition that she fulfill an unknown destiny.

“Again!!!! I’m still in awe by just how much Jacqueline Carey can fit into one book! This started as a coming of age story, into finally leaving home for the first time, new adventure, to saving the world! I was not bored for one second.
The relationships in this book were what really made it for me. I can confidently say I’ve never read a book where the main character falls in love with so many different people and I loved every second of it.
The ending of the book was a bit predictable but the action isn’t what does it for me so I didn’t mind. I’m so excited to keep reading - i’m already so invested in Moirin’s story!”
“Jacqueline Carey has written a masterpiece with this series!”
