Description
The second book in Shinn's "Twelve Houses" series, "The Thirteenth
House" focuses on Kirra Danalustrous, a character introduced in
"Mystic and Rider." Kirra, the daughter of a powerful noble, was
born a mystic "shiftling" - a person with the ability to transform
into virtually any other human or animal form. In this book, she is
called upon to take the place of her younger sister Casserah who is
unwilling to embark on an obligatory social tour of the other
Houses of Gillengaria. Kirra spends much of the book in the form of
her sister, but also changes into animal forms several times (like
dogs, cats and birds). She also occasionally impersonates other
people, both men and women.
Returning also in this book is Kirra's servant Donnal, a peasant
man who is also a shiftling. Donnal spends much of the book as a
wolf or in bird form, but there is a short sequence at the
beginning where he poses as Kirra's maid during a rescue mission.
He also very briefly mimics Kirra to trick the man who was rescued.
They aren't the only ones who change either.
