Goddess's Honor Series

WHAT CHOICES LIE AHEAD WHEN ONE HAS SUFFERED BEYOND HONOR? Aireii sorceress Alicira, last magician of the house of Miteal, has escaped the clutches of Zauril, murderer of most of her family and usurper of the Leadership of Medvara. She struggles to remain free of his control, especially since her unborn daughter, Zauril's child, may have inherited his magic instead of hers. Will she be able to find a safe refuge to rear her child free from Zauril's influence and wreak her vengeance on him, or will the Gods interfere? Her only surviving sibling swears such a place is in Keldara. But will she be able to reach Keldara without losing all she holds dear? Furthermore, what will this safety cost her?

SHE WASN'T SUPPOSED TO BE THERE.... An accident placed Katerin Healer in the village of Wickmasa when Wickmasa's healer Makri killed himself after his magic-gifted horse proved to be contaminated by an enemy.   Katerin only plans to stay in Wickmasa until the spring, when Wickmasa's new Healer can return from training.   BUT....   Things keep happening in the secrets-laden village.   And now, along with her new love Metkyi, Katerin finds herself as part of a team set to overthrow a corrupt leader and replace him with his estranged daughter Rekaré.   Will they succeed? Will Katerin and Metkyi have a future?   Or do the Seven Crowned Gods have other plans?   Note: This edition includes the short stories "Return to Wickmasa" and "Crown Anniversary," previously published.

CHANGES. CHALLENGES. Eleven years after Katerin Healer learned that she was a scion of the exiled Miteal family, former rulers of the Darani Empire, she has settled into a pattern. Personal healer to one of the three Leaders of the Two Nations, Alicira ea Miteal. Her daughter Witmara grows more powerful in magic as she studies with Alicira and her spouses, the other two leaders of the Two Nations, Heinmyets and Inharise. But Alicira's health is failing...and that is not the only change facing Katerin. Rekaré ea Miteal, Alicira's daughter and Katerin's cousin, wrestles with her role as the Leader of Medvara. While she loves her daughter Melarae, she is ambivalent toward her daughter. Worse than that, Rekaré fears that the land has withdrawn its approval of her rule. She is haunted by traps laid by her father Zauril, and fears he reaches out from the grave to doom her Leadership of Medvara. Then a distant relative, Chiral ea Ralsem, seeks refuge from the Darani Empire. But something isn't right about Chiral. As Alicira's health wanes, Rekaré and Katerin must work together to deal with this threat to Medvara--and the other nations of the land of Varen. The Seven Crowned Gods have their own agenda. What are the consequences of thwarting Chiral's schemes, and why are the Gods meddling now? Katerin and Rekaré are faced with many challenging choices but not all are honorable—or wise.

SOMETIMES VENGEANCE BECOMES MORE COMPLICATED THAN EXPECTED.   Avenging the death of co-Leader Inharise of the Two Nations appears straightforward at first for Katerin Leader and Rekaré Kinslayer. The curse that killed her points directly to the Witches Council of Waykemin. Therefore, they're responsible. But as Katerin and Rekaré lead a small avenging force to Waykemin's capital city of Formis, they discover that things are not quite as they seem.   At the same time, Waykemin's overseas ally, Chatain, Emperor of Daran, sends an invading force that Katerin's daughter Witmara must counter. But is Chatain's sortie a distraction from the attack on Waykemin, or does it serve a deeper purpose? Katerin must choose between her daughter and the challenge that Waykemin presents—and hope she made the right choice.

Can Betsona ea Ralsem survive the first anniversary celebration of her half-brother Chatain's ascension to Emperor of Daran? Or will she be struck down, like so many of her half-sibs during the past year? What will be the price of her survival?

After renouncing her leadership of Medvara and accepting the title of Rekaré Kinslayer, Rekaré travels to the capital city of a long-time foe seeking aid. What do the Gods want from her--and will she find it in Gulter?

What happens when Katerin returns to Medvare-the-city? Katerin returns to Medvare-the-city as Leader of Medvara after the conclusion of Challenges of Honor. She must deal with mysterious fires and a rebellious Tapestry that links the Leader's magic to the land of Medvara. Can Katerin succeed in winning over Medvara's when her relatives have failed?

A heavy-hearted Katerin returns to Wickmasa after Rekaré’s costly capture of the Leadership of Medvara which resulted in the deaths of her beloved Metkyi and her hidden father Alame. Not only must she console her new sister-in-law but the woman who has been her hidden father’s beloved for so many years. Can Katerin help heal their sorrow as well as her own, and restore Metkyi’s heartstone that broke upon his death?
