Hurtled out of her home by a mysterious force, Cheyenne finds herself stranded on a distant world, which, despite a number of similarities to Earth, is vastly different. She is immediately either captured or befriended, depending on one's point of view, by Darian, a man of some standing, and his cohorts. Cheyenne is a woman unlike any this man has encountered; women's liberation has not reached his world yet, so her constant challenges confound and fascinate him.
However, because of a youthful folly, Cheyenne is marked as the chosen one, destined to give birth to the one who will bring peace to the warring clans. The lure of her beauty and potential aggravates long held resentments and tempts even friends to consider betrayal. On her choice hangs the fate of a world. To her heart, the way is clear, but destiny may have different plans.
Through an epic scope, a world is born, filled with complex and fascinating people; heroes who have spots and villains who have moments that hint that perhaps they are not totally lost. Of all the epic fantasies, the one this most reminds me of is the Cheysuli series by Jenifer Roberson in tone. Though the story seems to be complete- more than one character did have potential to star as the hero on their own, so readers may have something to hope for.
