HEARTS AND SWORDS tells the tales of the original settlers
of Celta.
Kelse Bountry is awakened from stasis to discover that the
trip that should have taken around 75 years is now into its
second century. Other than those still in the cryonics bay,
few of the ship's crew even remember leaving Earth and the
battles they fought to escape the persecution for their psi
powers. Kelse must save the ship and find a place for them
to land before they run out of fuel.
Heart Story is the tale of Arbusca Willow. She was denied
her Heart Mate by her mother and forced into a marriage for
financial and political gain. With her mother newly dead
and her husband dead for several years, Arbusca sets out to
find her Heart Mate and see if they can build a life
together.
Heart and Soul is the story of Genista Furze Holly. After
her divorce from Tinne Holly, Genista sets out to make a
life of her own. She has an annoying neighbor who insists
on talking to her each day. She has become an apprentice to
a clock maker.
Noble Heart has Walker Clover, a commoner facing all of his
passages at once. Now his power is so great that he will be
raised to the nobility. His families wealth is great but
none of them have the training to survive this change. He
will work with Sedwy Grove to learn what he needs to take
his new place on the council.
While I loved the stories, I wanted a book about each of
them. We know some of the back story since Genista and
Tinne Holly made cameos in several of the Celta novels but I
was left wanting more. It was great to see Ms. Owen take
someone whom everyone dislikes and lets us see her as a
sympathetic character who deserves a love of her own. Heart
and Sword is a fascinating addition to the series since it
gives us so much of the backstory that is hinted to in all
the Celta novels. Noble Heart is exceptionally moving as we
see Walker deal with a passage he never expected and the
revelation of a secret that will force him to evaluate his
place in the family.
Four original novellas from the author of Heart Search.
Award-winning author Robin D. Owens returns to the
futuristic world of Celta with four original romantic
fantasies as four different couples find their HeartMates
and their destinies on Celta.
I have all of the Celta books. I really enjoy them. I read them from the beginning when I get a new book. I just bought HEARTS AND SWORDS so I need to find the first one and start readingthem again. I also wish HEARTS AND SWORDS were full lenght stories. I can't wait till I read it. (Kitty Petre 3:24pm December 18, 2011)
