This is an ebook-only reprint of a Penguin 2005 release. It is a time of bounty in the Queensrealm, thanks to Queen Galha, whose wisdom and power are legendary. Her scribes record the glorious events of her reign, but beneath these words lie othersâ€"shameful, heartbreaking, and trueâ€"that threaten to destroy the realm. A prequel to A Telling of Stars is a saga of epic sweep, deeply realized characters, and page-turning suspense. The Silences of Home explores the gulf between official and unwritten accounts of history, and the ways in which individuals, knowingly or not, shape the events of their timeâ€"events that pass into myth…or silence.
