Synopsis

Sixteen-year-old Johanna flees Cambaluc in 1322, following the murder of her father and the murderous intentions of her step-mother, accompanied by her foster sister and wise woman Shasha, and by Jaufre, an orphan of the Road who has been raised to be her companion—and who hopes to become more. Together they take to the Road, that storied collection of routes that link the silks of Cathay, the spices of the Indies and the jewels of the Indus to the markets of the western world. Their destination? Venice, that fabled port of the Middle Sea, and the home of Johanna's her grandfather, the legendary Marco Polo.

The Land Beyond, the third and final book in the Silk and Song trilogy, opens in Venice in 1324, where Johanna and company must find a new patron, a new way to earn their living, and above all a new home—all of which is complicated by a cunning kidnapping, a daring rescue, a tragic death, and a brush with royalty that puts Johanna and Jaufre and all their friends in the most danger they've seen yet.

This is the final volume of Dana Stabenow's SILK AND SONG trilogy. Having read all three of the books, I suspect that for many readers it is a satisfying experience. As an older reader, I had trouble keeping track after so many months between publication of the various parts. This volume dragged for......more

Goodreads review by Marilyn on July 12, 2019

One could tell immediately by the format of this book that Stabenow had run out of plot: lots of white space; space between paragraphs, even one sentence paragraphs; wide margins - yet same publisher as Books #1 and #2. If you read the first two books of this trilogy, do yourself a favor and stop th......more
