Four never-before-published stories set in Robin D. Owens'
beloved ten-volume Celtia series:
Heart and Sword
Aboard Nuada's Sword Kelsey Bounty is awakened from
cryogenic sleep more than a century after the trio of
colonizing Ships were to have made planetfall. The situation
is dire; mutineers are trying to shut down power to the
vulnerable sleepers in order to power a foolhardy journey
back to Earth. The captain has been murdered and the new
generation of humans aboard ship are without strong
leadership. Should they risk everything on a marginal and
mysterious planet, or face delayed but certain death as the
ship deteriorates? Kelsey and his wife, Fern struggle to
regain the faith and optimism needed to complete the
Mission, to allow the psis who has been persecuted on Earth
to colonize a new, safe home.
Heart Story
After her mother's death, Blush Willow is at last free to
pursue her Heartmate, but is it 25 years too late? Will
anger and hurt echoing from the evil done by her mother make
any future happiness impossible to attain? Or will Dri
Paris' real need of her help soften the hurts dealt so long
ago to them both?
Heart and Soul
Genista Furze is rebuilding her life in a small town far
from where she caused a scandal by being the highest ranked
woman to seek a divorce. She is learning to enjoy her new
circumstances, working each day on clockwork and magic
mechanicals. If only her next door neighbor would back off a
bit. Just having to return his greeting each day is wearing
her shell thin. But when the danger that lurks in the
shadows threatens her new life, perhaps he is the only one
who can save her.
Noble Heart
Walker Clover has everything he wants in life when
everything suddenly changes. He is thrust through three
Passages at once and when he awakes he learns he is not
fully a Clover, that his birth mother was a Noblewoman.
Suddenly his large and boisterous family can become Noble
themselves based solely on his newly-developed Flair. He
longs for the simpler days as Nuin Ash's tutor but is
instead thrust into the political and harrowing world of the
Celtan FirstFamilies. Thank goodness for the help of Sedwy
Grove who is eager to be of service to lighten the stain of
her notorious past.
The stories within HEARTS AND SWORDS are more than short
glimpses into Celta, Robin D. Owens has written hearty and
complex novellas that truly plunge you once more into the
world she has built. I found myself charmed once again, and
more than glad to have another chance to live in Owens'
world for a time.
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.
