Hesta was born into slavery and her mother keeps her daughterÕs beauty and healing gifts hidden from the world.Ê Wolfstar. At her birth the Shaman chose her name and destiny Ð to defend and protect her people.Ê Songbird.Ê No-one knows her name; the seven-year-old is found traumatised and mute.Ê Her past is gradually unravelled and when a miracle cures her voice all hell is let loose; Princess. SheÕs feisty and stubborn; too feisty for her husbandÕs family so they decide to tame her; All my characters and events are pure imagination and I do love to weave a little myth and magic into my stories.
