Kyra, the courageous young psychic we met in The Tall Stones, undertakes the hazardous journey with Karne and Fern to the Sacred Temple, where Kyra is to receive her training as a priestess and renew her love for the Lord Khu-ren. But a malevolent spirit still opposes them, and its influence has already permeated the sanctity of the Temple. Kyra is forced once again to face the evil Magician-Priest, Wardyke, whose thirst for revenge and power threatens the balance between good and evil...
The Temple of the Sun is the second book of the Guardians of the Tall Stones series.

Praise for the Guardians of the Tall Stones series:
"...a brilliantly imagined sequence of novels set in Bronze Age Britain." The Guardian
"...the author is so immersed in her subject that no trace of fantasising or contrivance is apparent. Like Joan Grant, she lives her work. Because it is so well done it is believable... The civilisation pictured here is based on many sources: historical, mythological and frankly speculative." The Glasgow Herald
"Equally compelling as psychological or historical fiction." American Library Booklist
"She uses the substance of legends, the ancient symbolism of religion and folklore, and a firm belief in the actual, vital energies of the earth to weave an adventure story of the battle between good and evil that combines an unsentimental mysticism with a compassionate understanding of human relations ... It is a book that can be appreciated at many levels." Times Educational Supplement
"Books about magic are commonplace, but books that actually work magic are rare. Moyra Caldecott's trilogy is one of these rarities." Parabola: The Quarterly of Myth and Meaning, New York
