New Orleans is the fourth destination in as many months for Mackenzie Brooks, a woman on the run from a deranged stalker.

When her well-meaning boss puts a PI on her case, Mackenzie comes face to face with the incredible truth: magic is real, and whatever spell has kept her hidden and separate from the paranormal world is rapidly deteriorating. With time running out, she has no choice but to trust Jackson as he struggles to uncover the truth of her past—and her destiny. Views: 29

Yuen-mong was born after her parents, both famous scientists, got stranded on Aros under suspicious circumstances, while attempting to collect mineral samples from its ring. When she was twelve, savage descendants of a failed colonization attempt three hundred years earlier killed her parents. She survived the planet’s many deadly perils with the help of her highly developed empathic skills that allow her to sense the emotional state of people and animals. She always dreamed that one day she will return to her parent’s home world, Andromatis, and reclaim her heritage. When Atun, a mineral exploration scientist, also crash-lands on the planet, she seizes the opportunity to realize that dream, but first she has to overcome his prejudices for her primitive, cave-dwelling lifestyle. Implementing her father’s theory that the rapidly oscillating magnetic field of Aros cripples all electronics, they convert his damaged space lander to mechanical control. In spite of Atun’s fear that flying such a contraption is the surest way to kill oneself, they manage to reach the space craft her parents had parked in orbit around Aros more than twenty years earlier. It is only the first step towards embarking on a mission of discovering the who sent her parents to ‘the planet of no return’ and why, and of seeking revenge for her parents’ death. Will her Aros survival skills be of any use on Andromatis? Views: 29
