Inhaltsangabe:

Five hundred years ago, a flurry of colony spaceships left the failing Earth. One of those colonies was thought to be lost. Now, a trade ship has found them.

On her first mission alone, Marta lands on a world like that of Avatar, Aragon, and Dragonriders of Pern in this sweeping sci-fi fantasy where technology meets the Earth magic of a lost colony on a sentient planet. Her task is to discover markets for the trade ship’s tech products, but what she finds is—no technology beyond steam power will work on Adalta. And its technology is Earth Magic.

She has two rules—don’t get discovered and don’t get attached. But her superiors instruct her to become one of the cadre of women who care for and ride the majestic flying creatures called Karda as her cover. She is introduced to Sidhari, and suddenly she is overcome by their bond—a young woman who must lie about who she is, and a telepathic Karda, and both rules begin to erode.

She discovers the deceptive Readen, son of a Quadrant leader, is smuggling forbidden high-tech weapons from the trade ship to the planet. Possessed by an awakened alien, the Itza Larrak, who is determined to reclaim the planet for his kind. Readen is the only person on Adalta who has none of the Air, Earth, or Water magic of the world, and he is more than dangerously resentful. He might be the eldest son of a Guardian, but he cannot be the heir. And how can she believe this magic is real?

Then she meets Altan, arrogant, handsome heir to one of Adalta’s Quadrant Guardians, and those don’t-get-discovered, don’t-get-attached rules force her to make a choice. Tell Altan her secret? Break her bond with her beloved Sidhari? Leave the planet to be devoured by the powerful alien?


Reader Reviews for Karda:
"Not since the Dragonriders of Pern have I come across such a well-done blend of fantasy and science fiction."

"I read all three books in this series, brilliant storyline, very strong characters, one of those books you can't put down, but don't want it to end."

"...the illustrations are intricate and detailed, and caught the essence of the characters. ...I highly recommend this book."

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor: 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 lived in Santa Fe and Ruidoso, NM, San Francisco, and Austin after leaving the hills of Eastern Oklahoma and her ranch. Now she's back in Tulsa where she started. She has a Ph.D. in East-West Psychology, and her studies opened her to the world of ancient myth and story. Writing all those many papers and her dissertation suited her. She loves science fiction and fantasy and is a prolific reader. One day she put down the book she just finished and thought, "I'm going to run out of books to read. I love imagined worlds. Why don't I create my own? One I'd like to fly away to." 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 is also working on a series of short stories telling the Epic of Gilgamesh from a woman's perspective. She lives, writes, and reads SciFi/fantasy (and occasionally poetry) in Tulsa, Oklahoma-back where she started as the oldest of seven kids, (don't ask to drive) three of whom are writers. 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 in her sunglasses with the wind blowing her hair. It's how she gets her vitamin D. You can reach her through SherrillNilson.com or email her at sherrill.nilson@gmail.com. She would like to hear from you because she wants to know what you think about her work. She says it makes her a better writer--and makes her write faster.
