Karda: Adalta Vol. I

By Sherrill Nilson

Book Overview

Revised and illustrated first book in the fantasy-sci-fi series, Adalta, with technophobic humans on a living planet, majestic hawk-headed flying horses, a power struggle between brothers, and a plucky female hero who must learn to tap into powers she never knew she had--powers that scare her--to save the place and the people she comes to love.

Marta Rowan knows her job. Secretly sent to the planet Adalta from the hidden orbiting trade space ship to assess its resources and trade potential, she knows she can't get attached--she's not staying. Then she meets her Karda, the wondrous flying creature she grows to love.

And Altan, the arrogant aristocrat with strange elemental powers. It can't be magic, can it?

When Altan rescues her from a blood magician's murder attempt, suddenly Marta can speak telepathically with her Karda, and she hears Altan in her head. Is she going crazy or-- It can't be magic, can it?

However hard she fights it, and however often she repeats her mantra, "Don't get attached," she does. Forced to be together they face bandits, treachery, revolt, blood-sex-and-death magic--and their growing relationship.

Then Marta is captured by the blood magician. Will Altan rescue her? Or will she rescue herself? Author Sherrill Nilson used to raise horses. Now she writes about flying horses.
