To Ride a Rathorn, P. C. Hodgell,'s latest high fantasy novel, is the
sequel to Seeker's Mask, which in turn follows God Stalk and Dark of the
Moon (collected in the Meisha Merlin omnibus, Dark of the Gods). These
are the chronicles of Jamethiel Priest's-bane, otherwise known as Jame,
as she struggles to find a place in a universe full of danger,
intrigue, and more than a bit of downright lunacy. The current novel's
title To Ride a Rathorn, comes from the Kencyr phrase that refers to
someone attempting something insane, but it is too dangerous for them to
stop. The reference is also to a certain young rathorn (think of an
armor-plated, carnivorous unicorn with a nasty temper) who is after Jame
for killing his mother and about to catch up with her. At Tentir, Jame
faces cut-throat competition and finds even more buried, poisonous
family secrets. Not only is the Caineron heir sent to humiliate her but a
charming Ardeth Highborn arrives hell-bent on seducing her. Then too,
what is she to make of the mysterious White Lady who haunts her dreams
or of the growling monster and prowls Tentir's hallways and is said to
eat young cadets for breakfast? For she is learning Tentir has secrets
of its own. And it is fighting for its soul. Under political pressure
that threatens to compromise its independence, it looks to its
Commandant, an honorable man; but also a Caineron. As the college tests
Jame, so she tests it. "Some things need to be broken."
