About this ebook
New York Times bestselling fantasy author Anne McCaffrey “interweaves an engrossing romance with a coming-of-age story”(Publishers Weekly) in this novel in the Tower and Hive series.
Damia is the daughter of Prime Talents The Rowan and Jeff Raven. Her own telepathic and telekinetic abilities manifested at an early age, unimaginable powers even greater than her parents’, challenging to wield much less control. As willful as her mother ever was, Damia defies her family’s attempts to tame and train her—only to bond with Afra Lyon, a Talent who serves The Rowan, and who becomes the object of her affection.
When she comes of age, Damia learns that a Prime of her capabilities and temperament has no time for love. Assigned to serve the farthest human colonized world from Earth, Damia leads a lonely existence until she telepathically connects with an alien presence in another galaxy—a potential threat not only to Damia, but to the love Afra wants to share with her...

The Rowen by Ann MacCaffery is the first and best book of this series but
was never printed as a tower hive book. The last book changed the series. A
six was not that good and did not sell much. I think book five was rewriten
to include the good parts. Ask her son about the Rowen.

I actually love this book, but I'm giving it a low review because you're advertising the four book series...and it isn't. Book one is, 'The Rowan', and I would love to eventually buy the series, but, I'm not going to buy this digitally here, and buy the other book somewhere else. Maybe that's a little OCD of me, but take it as a bit of a compliment that I want all my books through Google Play. Add book one of the series, and I will start to purchase this series. Who wants to join in a series of books starting with book 2?

Little more stutter-y than I remembered in the beginning, but an excellent example of the work of one of the greatest authors I've ever read.
