*****I love McCaffrey, Lackey, and, now, Nilson for the worlds they create so well! I want to visit Adalta and ride a karda and practice earth, water, and air talent! *****I am so in love with this series of books. *****…another great adventure from the planet of Adalta. These flying magical horses…are like nothing I have ever read about. Born with powerful Talent in all three elements, a childhood tragedy blocks Tessa's powers, destroying her dream of being a healer. When Kishar, the hawk headed flying Karda, chooses her to be a hunter, she fears she will never recover her powers. But the Circles of Disorder are spreading, and Tessa must learn to kill the terrible creatures they spawn. Galen never felt responsible for anything before, never cared. Handsome, arrogant, but now burn scarred and guilt ridden about smuggling hi-tech weapons to the low-tech Adalta, Galen is overcome by a puzzling sense of responsibility to the planet. And on top of that, he develops frightening powers - powers to control plant life, to manipulate rocks and soil. Can this be real? Now, to fulfill an ancient prophesy, Tessa and Galen join the Karda to fight the minions of the newly awakened Itza Larrak, who threatens all life on Adalta. *****A wonderful blend of science and fantasy. You will love the heros and hate the bad guys. *****Don't miss this one…antagonist Readen is not simply evil but complex, and the Itza Larrack is truly horrific. *****Couldn't put down. Loved loved loved *****Sometimes you are just chosen.
Autorenporträt
Sherrill Nilson used to raise horses. Now she writes about flying horses--with hawk heads and wicked talons. Author of the Adalta Series, she's been a cattle rancher, horse breeder, environmentalist, mother of three, traveler to exotic places-even a tarot card reader. She's lived in Santa Fe and Ruidoso, NM, San Francisco, and Austin after leaving the hills of Eastern Oklahoma and her ranch. She has a Ph.D., and her studies opened her to the world of ancient myth and story. The rigor of writing so many papers and her dissertation suited her. But her goal, since she was very young, was to write books She loves science fiction and fantasy and is a prolific reader.So, she took a leap of faith and embarked on writing Karda and Hunter-the first two books in the Adalta series. She's now working on Falling, the third book, and lurking in the back of her mind is another series about the trees deciding whether or not to leave earth. She lives, writes, and reads Sci-Fi/fantasy in Tulsa, Oklahoma--back where she started as the oldest of seven kids (don't ask to drive), three of whom are writers who love telling each other how they should write. "Sometimes," she says, "They're mean to me and use too much red ink." She doesn't have a dog, a cat, or even a bird, but she does have an old Volvo convertible and loves to drive around with the wind blowing her hair. It's how she gets her vitamin D.
