Publisher's Summary
Shapechangers.
They were the Cheysuli, a race of magical warriors gifted with the ability to assume animal shape at will. For centuries they had been allies to the King of Homana, treasured champions of the realm. Until a king’s daughter ran away with a Cheysuli liege man and caused a war of annihilation against the Cheysuli race. Twenty-five years later the Cheysuli were hunted exiles in their own land, feared for their sorcery, their shapechanging.
This is the story of Alix, the daughter of that ill-fated union between Homanan princess and Cheysuli warrior, and her struggle to master the call of magic in her blood, and accept her place in an ancient prophecy she cannot deny.The Song of Homana. For five long years the land of Homana had been strangling in the grasp of a usurper king - its people ravaged by strife, poverty and despair; its magical race, the Cheysuli, forced to flee or face extermination at the hands of their evil counterparts, the sorcerous Ilhini. The time had come for Prince Carillon, Homana's rightful ruler, to return from exile with his Cheysuli liege man, free his land from the evil domination of the tyrant Bellam and his villainous magicians, restore the Cheysuli to their rightful position of grace, and claim his birthright. To do this, he would not only have to raise an army, but overcome the fear and prejudice of an ignorant population and answer the call of a prophecy he never chose to serve!

An old favourite
I read this as a teen and enjoyed it still 30 years later. There are some old fashioned themes you will not find in a modern book (acceptance of forcing a woman etc) but as the story develops the female mc becomes very brave and independent. Move past the sexist tones and you will get to the good part. I can’t understand why a male narrator was used. He is excellent although he does give the female character a somewhat whiney weak voice.

Eternal read
As good As when I first read the series over 25 years ago, this audiobook version brings the story to life again for me. I did find, this time, the language a little formal and the female protagonist a bit repressed, but given it was written in the ‘80’s’ it was probably ahead of its time/genre. I think it may actually be the earliest shape changer/shifter books I read! I still have the hard copies too!

Essential
Focuses on honour and nobility. Plenty of action involving magic, wolves, falcons, combat, political intrigue - very engrossing.

Excellent story - dreadful narration
With apologies to the narrator as this is pretty harsh - but I couldn't bear this. Only a couple of chapters in and can't stand any more, although I remember reading the books years ago and loved them to bits .. was one of my absolute favourites of that time. Unfortunately the audio doesn't bring it to life, and the over the top toff accent - without any real expression or emotion even when someone is expressing a heated opinion - just killed the audio version for me. Will try kindle to revisit this one.
