It has been a few months since Thea Conner was attacked.  She is still having trouble coming to terms with what happened to her.  The ship she is on is headed for the Ta’e’sha world and she’ll have to prepare herself for the trial. 

During the trip to the home world, mischief is happening all over the ship and Kyrin and his crew can’t figure out what is going on.  Thea has an idea, but she is distracted by making a marriage veil for Sya’tia, her best friend on the ship.   

Will Sya’tia accept the proposal from Thea, Kyrin, and Daeshen?  Will Theadora be able to make it through the trial?  Can Kyrin and Daeshen distract her enough to overcome her fears?  Will the humans be accepted on the Ta’e'shan home world?

Shards of the Mind is INCREDIBLE!  As a follow up to Daughters of Terra, Shards of the Mind is superb and almost out shines Daughters of Terra.  Theolyn Boese has outdone herself.  I had no trouble falling back into her world of myth and legend.  Ms. Boese has another winner on her hands with Shards of the Mind.  The only problem I have is the wait for the next book in the series!  I loved Shards of the Mind so much that I am Joyfully Recommending it!
