In Water Logic, Laurie J. Marks's third Elemental Logic novel, a new government forms in the land of Shaftal. Now soldiers and farmers, scholars and elemental talents, weary of war, must fight
to ensure revenge and retribution are not their only future. For there are those on each side who cannot forget their losses, and cannot imagine a place for themselves side by side with former
foes in an enemy land.
And there is a mystery. Before memory, before recorded history, something once happened that now must be remembered. Now, by water logic, the logic of patterns repeated, the lost must be found
- or the found may forever be lost.
