Nasha Fano has lived her adult life as the host of Ithena, red star of the northern sky. Refusing to believe that her deceased father sold her to Lord Kalowell she fights for her freedom and the survival of her people. Caught on the wrong side of the wall between her people and the invaders, Nasha is made a captive by the Lord who wanted the avatar of Ithena, but he has no idea that she is the very woman he seeks. Learning about him, his people, and the course of events that brought them together is humbling, but the star inside her will not come out to confront the other avatar or the star he holds. Frustrated, Nasha gives in to the last thing she wanted and embraces the power of his touch in hopes it will rouse the star within.

The Hashka Chronicles is Viola Grace’s most recent series, and I believe it is quickly becoming one of my favorite worlds to visit.

Nasha Fano is the avatar of Ithena, the red star of the northern sky. She is determined to avoid the man who ‘bought’ her from her father before his death, and when Lord Kalowell and his troops approach, Nasha is at the head of her small group of warriors, defending the keep to the end. When she is captured, she pretends to be a servant, and tries to escape and reach her people.

Thorn Kalowell is determined to find the avatar of Ithena, for it is the only way to satisfy his own inner star, and bring prosperity and peace to the people. He isn’t aware that the servant he has in chains is, in fact, the woman he seeks throughout the land.

When Nasha discovers that things aren’t as she was lead to believe, she gives in to Thorn, in hopes that her passion will draw Ithena to the surface so she can fulfill the promise she made to Eshkar; that when they each had the perfect avatar, they would join to create a child with the power of the stars. And although Ithena is a star, she has the same fears any female has, and isn’t sure she is ready for motherhood. Can Nasha and Thorn work through this, and find passion together? Will Nasha accept her destiny when she finds the truth is better than she could have hoped? Can Thorn break through the walls that Nasha has erected around her heart for a happy ever after?

This world of sentient stars and their chosen avatars is a fascinating place to visit, and Ms. Grace has the imagination to populate it with all kinds of delightful characters. The rehabilitation will only be successful prix viagra pfizer learn the facts here now in case the victim can permanently maintain the substance.

I have enjoyed all of these, but this one is especially fun to read.

Nasha has known all her life that she is Ithena’s chosen, and she is a strong and determined woman. She seeks to protect her people and their way of life, and doesn’t realize that what she has been told isn’t the truth. She is a warrior as well, and leads her guards against unbeatable odds, knowing the chances are slim, but fighting for honor as much as anything else. I did enjoy watching how far she was willing to go to hide who she was, even when placed in chains to prevent escape.

Thorn Kalowell is not what he appears to be. He is a kind and generous leader, not the merciless warlord Nasha believes him to be. He is determined to find his destined mate, not knowing he already has her in his home. I enjoyed watching Thorn slowly unravel the mystery, and finally claim his mate once she is revealed.

There are some surprising twists here, especially the one about Ithena. I liked the idea that for once, the star was the one hesitating to join her mate, and that it was up to the avatars to lure her out to her proper place with Eshkar. I look forward to more adventures with Ms. Grace’s wonderful, blue skinned Hashka, and the growth of these worlds of fantasy and imagination.

A simple trip to the market sends Venya on a nightmare of kidnapping and threat of sacrifice. She stores up her energy and breaks free, stumbling through the forest to hide and hopefully return to the spaceport. Morrer is the emissary of Lassing, god of Morvigeth, he is searching for the lost psychic to save her, and when he finds her, his focus shifts to luring her into his arms and his bed. With years of butchered psychics on Morvigeth, Venya is skeptical of his intentions, but she accepts the touch of the star and it leads to a satisfying revenge.

In Wrath of the Stars, Viola Grace completes the story begun in the first book from the Hashka chronicles.

The cleanup of Morvigeth has begun, but many of the priests have gone into hiding, determined to continue the torture and murder of the psychics that should be treasured.

When Venya is kidnapped for her talent, she is slated to become the next ‘sacrifice’ to Lassing, the star these priests worship, with their perverted rituals. Morrer is the emissary of Lassing, and he is searching for the lost woman, intent on saving her from the rogue priests, and preventing any more psychics from becoming victims.

Venya is skeptical of Morrer’s motives at first, but as she becomes more comfortable with him, she realizes he tells the truth. As they travel, trying to elude the priests, Venya learns that she has been chosen by Searaline as her emissary, to bring the star back to her place in the heavens above Morvigeth alongside her husband Lassing. Together, Morrer/Lassing and Venya/Searaline will heal the planet and bring new life and prosperity to all. Can Venya accept the challenge ahead and stay on Morvigeth with Morrer? Can they stop the priests once and for all? Most important, can Morrer gain the approval of Venya’s parents to be Venya’s mate?

I found this book to be especially satisfying, seeing the retribution visited on the rogue priests by Venya/Searaline as she sought to cleanse the temple on Morvigeth. Although darker than most of Ms. Grace’s stories, this was the only possible conclusion to this chapter of Hashka history.

Venya is strong and capable, and very able to take care of herself. The medical device and biological product technology measures the patient’s level of Cardiac Troponin (cTnI), a protein which the heart releases during a heart unica-web.com canadian cialis pharmacy attack. The famed cyclist Andy Pruitt unica-web.com cialis generic viagra believes that changing the seat height by a mere inch improves mechanics and motor control patterns of every joint in the lower extremity.

Formation of this type of depression due cialis generic online to erectile dysfunction is medically termed as psychological impotence. She uses her brains and her talent to escape certain death at the hands of the priests, but isn’t able to ignore the heat the Morrer raises in her. I loved reading the banter between them, and I was glad that, although he saved her, she didn’t immediately trust him or his motives. Watching her gradually learn to trust him was fun to watch.

Morrer is determined and driven to cleanse the priesthood of Lassing. Strong and handsome, he is smart enough to know he can’t just walk up to Venya and declare his intent to rescue her. He is aware of what has gone before, and uses his intellect to show her with actions that he is not out to harm her. I enjoyed the way he slowly introduced her to Lassing, the star he shares his being with.

This is the perfect conclusion to the story begun in Sacrifice to the Stars, the first of the Hashka books. Yes, there is some very graphic and bloody violence in both books, but it is done to depict what the two emissaries must overcome to save the planet once and for all. These two books are a bit darker in tone than anything I’ve read by Ms. Grace, but they are both riveting reading experiences well worth the time it takes to read them. I recommend both for those who like to see justice triumph over evil, and love shine through to defeat the bad guys.

Life on Allacor is calm, serene and has a slow rhythm that Siri enjoys as she spends her days in baggy clothing that are completely different from her Emissary clothing. While the goddess lets Siri’s biology come back to its rhythm, Mirkan, the next clan leader of the Sorro clan is there to seduce her into an attachment to his world. Time passes swiftly and when the representatives from her home world find her she is caught and her disguise stripped bare. When the goddess inside comes out to put her foot down, she surprises her Emissary with a plan for this new world. A plan that includes Siri.

The Hashka Chronicles is Viola Grace’s newest creation; a race of blue skinned, highly sensual beings, with sentient stars and their emissaries and avatars helping to guide and protect their subjects.

As Emissary to Ilshara, High Priestess Siralinalia Mzwin takes her duties seriously. With the great festival just three months away, Siri needs time to herself to prepare for the demands that will be put on her body by those seeking Ilshara’s favor.

When the star offers Siri a chance to take time away from the temple, she contacts her friend Tahsha to find out if the offer of a place to stay and visit is still open. After setting up last minute details for the temple, Siri embarks on her vacation, eagerly looking forward to being an anonymous young woman. When she discovers that she has arrived just as the harvest is beginning, Siri offers her experience as a reaper driver in exchange for her room and board at Tahsha’s family farm.

Can she, and Ilshara, resist the charms of their suitors, Mirkan and Karim? And is there a solution that will allow Siri and Mirkan to have a life together?

I love the worlds Ms. Grace creates, and the Hashka are particularly entertaining. The characters are all well crafted and enjoyable, and the world is a mix of advanced technology and primitive life that fascinates the reader.

Siri is delightful. When not in the temple at her duties as emissary, she is strong, confident and just a little rebellious. I enjoyed watching her become the farm girl she once was, and her independent streak when she protected both herself and Tahsha from unwanted attention. I also enjoyed her shock when she discovered her ‘mission’ on Allacor and the presence of Ilshara with her.

Mirkan is strong and handsome, and I enjoyed watching as her slowly worked his way into Siri’s heart as well as her mind. I also enjoyed watching his attempts to teach Siri to dance, and his jealous reaction to other men near Siri. I was surprised to find that Mirkan was also an emissary, and enjoyed the reaction Siri had when Karim revealed his presence to Ilshara.

This is a hot but sweet romance, a story of righting wrongs and of new beginnings. The problems Siri encounters while trying to hide her true identity are a delight, and the revelation of who she is comes at the perfect point in this story. I recommend this series for all who enjoy passion and romance, with just a bit of fantasy to it.
