Using elements of folklore and fantasy Ronlyn Domingue tells a compelling story of a peaceful civilization on the brink of an unwanted war. The physical, emotional, and psychological fallout of military aggression is felt throughout the novel. The Mapmaker's War explores questions of guilt and greed while offering an answer that hinges on cooperation and acceptance. It centers on Aoife, a woman at odds with her prescribed societal role and her journey toward enlightenment, freedom, and forgiveness. It is at once an admonishment as well as a reminder that war is not the only answer — peace begins within oneself. This book is simply a must read. - Heather
