Ah, power. We all want it, no matter how much we deny we do. What would I do if I had it?
What would you? Of course, you and I are good, decent people and would never abuse power. Or would we?
You and I know that power would never corrupt us. And if, perchance, it did, it would take a very long time and a very good reason.
Or would it? It would certainly take more than a careless word from someone to make us wish harm on them, wouldn’t it? Maybe not.

And magic is always something to think twice about, to be cautious with, and to respect absolutely, because magic constantly
has a way of sneaking up behind us and biting us where it really hurts. If you don’t understand magic, it’s best to not mess around with it. But, then, there would be no story.

The Summer Witch
begins as a harmless love story but transforms into a much more complex tale about power
and what it does to even the most innocent and good hearted of us.
The character development is remarkably good and the emotions well explored as the main character matures. Ms. Cooper has managed to allow us to not only
enjoy a wonderful story, but also to examine our human frailties, desires, and fragility.

I first read the Time Master Trilogy and then went on to
the Indigo Series (8 books!).
Ms. Cooper spins a tale that captures you
and takes you along with the vivid characters and adventures she creates.
Your life is not your own once you start reading her
books - you simply can't put them down!

Time Master Trilogy Book

The Initiate (Book 1)

Young Tarod is the most powerful sorcerer in memory to join the ranks
of Initiates at the Star Peninsula. But it soon becomes
clear that the talented young man is even more than anyone could
ever imagine. The Initiate, first part of the Time Master trilogy is a piece of imaginative
fantasy which treats the age old concept of the
battle of good and evil, light and darkness and order and chaos in a
very unusual and thrilling way. It also explores
in a both frightening and interesting way how the
relationship between gods and humans can be,
and it makes it clear that what separates a god and a
demon, is who won the latest battle.
And finally, it shows that chaos and order truly are two sides of
the same coin, and that neither can exist without the other.

The Outcast(Book 2)

The Outcast waits in a castle outside of Time.
With his soul imprisoned in an ancient jewel, he
dreams of vengeance on the Lords of Light.
Cast on his shores by sorcerous winds, a woman comes
who will set him free to defy his terrible destiny.
In this second offering of the trilogy, Tarod, one-time Initiate of the Circle,
an order of sorceror-priests devoted
to the service of the ruling gods of Order, has been betrayed by
friends and lovers and his own nature.
Having been revealed as a creature of Chaos born in human form,
the ring which contains his powerful soul has been
stolen from him and is locked away in the mysterious
Marble Hall of the Castle of the Star Peninsula.
The Castle itself is lost in a timeless limbo in which dawn never
completely breaks and days have no meaning, thanks to Tarod's
sorcerous attempt to save himself from the Circle's exorcism.
Alone and soulless, Tarod has been swiftly losing any
semblance of human behavior and seems to have finally become what others have
called him: a demon of Chaos.

Enter Cyllan Anassan, the peasant girl he met briefly in book I.
She and Drachea Rannak, the spoiled heir to the Margravate of
Shu Province, have been cast on the shores of this haunted castle,
and must uncover the mystery of Tarod in order to escape.
Along the way, Cyllan, the primary narrator of the story,
must make her own personal exploration of good and evil, love and hate,
fantasy and reality. Cooper explores again the themes of dichotomy between
Chaos and Order, the greater dichotomy of social class,
and the difference between appearance and substance of truth.
It ends in a stunning climax that is only
the beginning of the greater climax of the series that culminates in book 3.

The Master (Book 3)

Chaos stalks the Realm of Order. The fate of a world hangs on one woman's life.
In Conclave grave the Lords of Light will summon their God to battle.
Adept of Chaos, sworn to the Law, the Master rides to
confront his terrible destiny. This is the tale of his decision.
