Homosexuals can either adopt or use “some other method” to acquire children, and Ms. Fletcher uses both methods in her two fantasy series. In The Lyremoutn Chronicles, adoption is used because a combination of sorcerer provided advanced magical healing and a peaceful form of government results in heterosexual characters having more children than they can possibly raise, providing adoption opportunities for homosexual couples; however, in the all-female population of The Celaeno Series, “some other method” is required. For animals that other method is a psychic talent called “Cloning”, but for humans, that other method is a much rarer advanced psychic talent called “Imprinting”, a special power that allows a woman so gifted to combine the DNA of the Birth mother and the Gene mother to produce a child in a similar way to how it is naturally done by heterosexuals with a man in place of the gene mother (without the sex, of course).Lynn is an imprinter,... a very good imprinter, who can produce a healthy child in one quarter the time of a more average imprinter, which puts her in very high demand. Now, you might think that being a very good imprinter would give Lynn great power but because of the way the local religion is set up, she is basically a glorified slave that the Sisters fight over the control (ownership) of because they can charge high imprinting fees for her activity. The story opens with Lynn basically being seized from the temple at Fairfield in order to be transported to the temple at Landfall, which Lynn is OK with because she figures it will give her a good last look at the mountain wilderness she grew up with. What she has absolutely no desire to see more of are snow lions, vicious women-killing creatures that thanks to the death of her aunt when she was a child she, unfortunately, knows a lot more about than either the Sisters or the armed Guards accompanying her know. Worse, neither bunch is willing to listen to the members of the Rangers, who are actually tasked with hunting down and killing snow lions. (You can see where this is going.) Yes, thanks to stupidity all around they are attacked by snow lions while crossing the mountains but Lynn’s life is saved by Ranger Lieutenant Kim Ramon’s sacrificial bravery. Lynn says to Kim that she has fallen in love with her and (to her surprise) Kim says that she has fallen in love with Lynn, but rules for imprinters are a lot more strict (celibacy is supposedly required): Kim is busted down to private and flogged a hundred times, but thanks to Lynn’s insistence on assuming all the blame she possibly can, is not executed. Then Lynn hears that Kim has died….Fortunately, Kim has not. As it turns out Kim has run into a bunch of heretics, women who have fled the teachings of the sisters and are trying to live their own lives separate from the government off in the wilderness. As it turns out they already have just about everything they need in order to survive and thrive but they’ve only got a senior citizen Cloner so unless they are willing to switch to a plant-based diet they will eventually be in trouble.Except that Kim thinks she knows where they might be able to get not just a younger cloner but an imprinter, who would open up the possibility of a multi-generational future….This novel was a hoot and a half, and I instantly decided I would love this series, though as it turned out that abject love only extended to volumes 2-4 and not 1 or 5. In addition, the 22-page Appendix at the end, spelling out exactly how this world began was also very interesting. I’d still recommend reading it in chronological order; just don’t skip volumes 2-4. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Highly recommended *by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on April 10, 2016* I love this series. Some people have written some well through out reviews so I'm not going to say much but I still wanted to get my positive rating in on this series. I've read each book numerous times, except The Shadow of the Knife which I just can't get into. I like the characters, the plot of each story and the overall story of the series. Also I highly recommend reading the appendix. My kindle will often show the story has ended but there is still the appendix and it adds so much to the story's setting. I would recommend not reading them in order of publishing date instead read them in this order.The Rangers at RoadsendThe Temple at LandfallThe Walls of WesternfortDynasty of RoguesI like the characters so much that I want to know what they're doing now. ### ⭐⭐⭐ If you're looking for a good ROMANCE look elsewhere *by N***M on Reviewed in the United States on March 27, 2012* Now, yes, this book does have the element of romance in it. When looking for a new lesbian book to read, I found this series. It seemed promising with all these 5 star reviews. However, it feels like they were looking at a different book than I was. Here are my reasons this book just doesn't do it for me.Such a huge percentage of the book was dedicated to understanding the "sisterhood" and temple life. When the two characters finally meet, it is incredibly rushed and we are made to believe that they have fallen in love. However, WE DON'T GET TO SEE IT! We are only told that they have spent day after day together. Then it goes into a lot of the rangers and military issues. The end is rushed. It is a PLEASANT ending. But it leaves you questioning things.The MOST interesting part was the end when we get to read diaries and find out how the whole world came to be. Sadly, THAT should have been the book. Not sure if I will ever read another one of her books. It was relatively good. But there are elements that just don't match up for me and detract from the story. Like these "imprinters" who live in a time that I would consider middle earth over here are talking about DNA and genetics...Make your own decision. But I thought I'd let people know that the book isn't exactly "Perfect" as other reviews have made it to be. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/21321296-the-temple-at-landfall-the-celaeno-series-paperback-november-1](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/21321296-the-temple-at-landfall-the-celaeno-series-paperback-november-1) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-09-14*
