The Terrorists of Irustan
Marthatori avatar reviewed on + 33 more book reviews


Zahra Ibsada is a talented medicants, and sees much of the joy in the lives of the women she heals - and much of the pain. She sees a wife brutally beaten, a prostitute suffering at the hands of her employers, and her best friend, Kalen - a mother who is struggling to save her daughter from a cruel betrothal. Kalen begs Zahra for help, and although it goes against her medicant vows, Zahra reluctantly agrees. But this silent act of terrorism will have far-reaching consequences - for herself, and for all the women of her planet.
