Why This Must Be Read: In Quiet Strength, Moonshayde does a fantastic job of letting us take a peek inside Sha’re’s head during the events of COTG. A clever twist explains the Sha’uri/Sha’re contradiction in names, as Sha’re leaves the “quiet strength” of her marriage behind in order to once again become Sha’uri, the fiery heroine who defied Ra. We see her memories of Daniel, her efforts to rouse the other prisoners to rebel, and her interactions with the woman abducted from Earth. And in the end, when she realizes that she is about to be overcome, she chooses a memory that will give her quiet strength in the internal, eternal struggle she will face against Amaunet.

Quiet Strength won first place in the 2007 Isis Awards. When you read it, you’ll understand why.
