In the Face of Diversity, Love Will TriumphFor twelve years on Garon, Brehan Tucker has chosen isolation from her people on the chance she will misuse her power. It has become a comfortable way of life. No responsibilities. No expectations. No messy emotions to confuse her. And if she's patient long enough, perhaps even her persistent, annoying husband, Erth, will renounce his undying love and move on. Loving Brehan is enough to push any Guardian over the edge, and Erth is close to plunging into an abyss of regret from which there seems no escape. He sees his wife's isolation as a means for her counterpart, Di'me, to garner more power until she is able to take over the shared body. Since he can't bring himself to destroy the woman he loves, he creates a series of schemes to confuse their enemies and test the strength of Brehan's human side. It only creates a wider emotional chasm between them. Understanding that love has brought her nothing but pain and grief in the past, Erth offers up a supreme sacrifice to tear down the walls between them and to win her heart.
