Karda by Sherrill Nilson

Karda by Sherrill Nilson

From Reader's Favorite Gold Medal Award and B.R.A.G Medallion winning author Sherrill Nilson:

On the beautiful world Adalta, an ancient alien threat emerges.

Young Marta is dropped to the planet for her first secret mission alone. How will she succeed when she must open up to magic she doesn't believe in.

On this planet where the only weapons allowed are arrows and swords, Marta discovers a high-tech weapon she knows could only come from her ship. Someone is smuggling them to use in the bitter power struggle between two noble brothers. She knows she must stop this threat, and reluctantly joins forces with the handsome but arrogant Altan. As their connection grows, Marta struggles to keep her secret, and to keep the rule of not getting attached.

As tensions rise and the ancient threat grows, will Marta accept the frightening elemental magic powers Adalta wants to give her to save the planet she loves?

***** The Karda have joined the Dragons of Pern and the Companions of Valdemar as some of my all time favorite 'characters''

***** I did not want to leave the world the author created. I am off to get the second book.

***** This is an amazing road movie of a book, where the heroine sets of on a voyage of discovery across a fantastic new world, and in discovering the world she also discovers something of herself.

***** I want to ride a Karda.

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.
