"What ails you Lodestone?" Sheer'An asked, "you look like you have lost a battle with the demons of hell." "I have," Lodestone said morosely. "Mother wishes us to spend several weeks with her at Battleplay Hall. She wants to make sure that you and the rest of my 'fasting family are properly introduced to our Clan." "Your mother wants to meet all of us?" Sheer'An exclaimed, "this could be a very big problem indeed." Thus begins one of the most challenging adventures that Sheer'An and her family have ever undertaken. Lodestone, Sheer'An's mate, Highborn, Mage, Scholar and reluctant leader of the Battleplay Clan has always been at his arrogant mother's beck and call. "Your Lady Mother has no respect for you," May'lin said. "If she did you would not be subjected to this ordeal. You have told me you wish to be independent. You never will be until you are able to confront her in a manner that she understands. In order to win freedom from your mother's domination you will have to beat her at her own game." Lodestone vows to do that. In the month that follows, with his birth sister's help and his 'fasting family support he will tear the structure of his Clan apart and rebuild it in an image that all of them can accept and encounter adventures and surprises that will change all of their lives. Meet the Family is marks a turning point in the lives of everyone in Sheer'An's family. As is and has always been true of this unusual family, strange twists of fate will lead them to the heights of triumph and the realization of who they really are and show them a little of just how much they are going to affect the future of Cel'mystry.
