Diana Wallace Peach has done it again. She has written a novel that you won’t be able to put down.
All the emotions of human nature play their part in this exciting novel. Love, adventure, and intrigue, with just enough of a touch of magic to be believable, all feature in this page turner.
A healer and dabbler in the dark arts of life and death, Barus is as gnarled as an ancient tree. Forgotten in the chaos of the dying queen’s chamber, he spirits away her stillborn infant, and in a hovel at the meadow’s edge, he breathes life into the wisp of a child. He names her Aster for the lea’s white flowers. Raised as his daughter, she learns to heal death.
Then the day arrives when the widowed king, his own life nearing its end, defies the Red Order’s warning. He summons the necromancer’s daughter, his only heir, and for his boldness, he falls to an assassin’s blade.
While Barus hides from the Order’s soldiers, Aster leads their masters beyond the wall into the Forest of Silvern Cats, a land of dragons and barbarian tribes. She seeks her mother’s people, the powerful rulers of Blackrock, uncertain whether she will find sanctuary or face a gallows’ noose.
Unprepared for a world rife with danger, a world divided by those who practice magic and those who hunt them, she must choose whether to trust the one man offering her aid, the one man most likely to betray her—her enemy’s son.
A healer with the talent to unravel death, a child reborn, a father lusting for vengeance, and a son torn between justice, faith, and love. Caught in a chase spanning kingdoms, each must decide the nature of good and evil, the lengths they will go to survive, and what they are willing to lose.

About the Author
A long-time reader, best-selling author D. Wallace Peach started writing later in life when years of working in business surrendered to a full-time indulgence in the imaginative world of books. She was instantly hooked.
In addition to fantasy books, Peach’s publishing career includes participation in various anthologies featuring short stories, flash fiction, and poetry. She’s an avid supporter of the arts in her local community, organizing and publishing annual anthologies of Oregon prose, poetry, and photography.
Peach lives in a log cabin amongst the tall evergreens and emerald moss of Oregon’s rainforest with her husband, two owls, a horde of bats, and the occasional family of coyotes.

I bought this book, but it will be another month until I read it.
The good thing about that is, my review won’t have to compete with all of the amazing writers out here.
I’m not a reviewer, don’t know what I’m doing but I like doing it.

I bought Diana’s book as soon as it came out and I’ve started it and am a bit peeved. I HAVE TO WORK but I WANT TO SIT FOR HOURS AND READ AND READ AND READ The Necromancer’s Daughter. I’ve enjoyed all of Diana’s book, but this one has hooked me even tighter than her others. And I was so excited to see your name in the Acknowledgement page as the copy editor, Anneli. I’m hoping I’m the one who helped Diana find you (or did she help ME find you?) Whatever, we are blessed with your talents, not just as an editor, but as a novelist as well.

Aw, Pam, that is sweet of you to say. I’ve had the pleasure of copy-editing (and reading) both yours and Diana’s books and what an enjoyable job I have. I certainly understand that feeling of just wanting to read, rather than work. I bet your lights are on late at night while you devour this book.

I agree wholeheartedly. In fact, I remember now how I met Anneli (I’m going to embarrass her here). She read my first romantic suspense novel and contacted me on my blog, telling me how much she enjoyed the book but, um, did I know there were some editing mistakes. So brave of her! I hired her on the spot. 🙂

LOL! I had forgotten that, Pam. But I only do that with authors whose work I feel is worth it. We all make mistakes, but you’d be surprised how some writers don’t care about that. As long as they get their name in lights, it doesn’t matter to them if there are mistakes. Trouble is, readers care, and readers matter.
