Battle for Tristaine

Jesstin, the Amazon warrior, and Brenna, the Clinic medic, are on the run in a race against time to save Tristaine, their mountain stronghold, from destruction.

Five beleaguered, fugitive Amazons camp in a high mountain meadow, healing from the wounds inflicted by a posse of City soldiers. Word reaches Jesstin and Brenna of a grave danger threatening the Amazon village of Tristaine. While Brenna struggles to find her place in the clan and the love between her and Jess grows, Tristaine is threatened with destruction when a crucial betrayal brings the City soldiers down upon the village. Brenna's emerging psychic gifts aid Jess and her warriors in a final bloody confrontation against the forces bent on destroying the Amazon way of life.
