The Golden Hills Of Westria/ Diana L. Paxson/ 2006
 After over a decade, the seventh Westria novel was published in February, 2006. As the series had been on such a long hiatus, Golden Hills was intended from the beginning to welcome both old friends and new to Westria. The Golden Hills of Westria begins a new sequence in the Chronicles of Westria, although like all histories, it has its roots in the past. Among other things, it addresses the question of what becomes of a hero who has become the greatest mage-king of his age once he has vanquished his enemy. And what effect do legends have on the children of those who made them? Caolin was a dangerous foe, but in Golden Hills, the land will face an enemy who threatens not only the king, but the entire Westrian way of life. Review
Praise for The Golden Hills of Westria: ?Diana L. Paxson skillfully weaves together a page-turner plot, complex characters, compelling and timely social issues, and an unforgettable world based on deeply spiritual values. Fans of her previous ?Westria? novels will rejoice at this new, immensely rich addition to that saga, and readers who have not yet sampled Westria?s delights are in for a real treat.? ?Deborah J. Ross, co-author of A Flame in Hali
?Westria is back! Fans of the series will rejoice, and it's sure to win new readers to a wonderful series. Paxson's sense of place in post-apocalypse southwestern North America is exquisite, but even stronger is her characterization. The passions of the new generation ring so true, but not forgotten are the older folk, with their concerns--and their perspective. I love this book--could not put it down.? ?Sherwood Smith
?A new Paxson and a new Westria: what a treat! A generation later, this is better than ever. The action is intense, but so is the spirituality: the joys and woes of the scions of Westria are epic, but also as real and human as anything the rest of us have to deal with. It rounds off the original saga, but also promises the possibility of a fascinating future.? ?Kage Baker FREE!
