Sharon Shinn’s Twelve Houses books have fascinated readers and critics alike with their irresistible blend of fantasy, romance, and adventure. Now in Quatrain, she weaves compelling stories in four of the worlds created for Archangel, Heart of Gold, Summers at Castle Auburn, and Mystic and Rider and loved by readers.
Flight follows a former angel-seeker who used to be in love with the Archangel Raphael and now is determined to keep her beautiful niece from making her same mistakes.
Blood is the story of a fierce young gulden man who comes to the city to seek his mother, whom he hasn’t seen since he was a boy and she ran away from his abusive father.
In Gold, a crown princess escapes the hazards of war by hiding among the fairylike aliora, where she encounters an altogether different sort of danger.
And in Flame, the mystic Senneth uses her magic to save a little girl, an act that wins her new friends but puts her own life at risk.
Sharon Shinn has published seven fantasy and science fiction novels, with her eighth one scheduled to appear next April. She lives in St. Louis, where she holds a job as co-editor on a new association-sponsored magazine. Her novels are: The Shape-Changer's Wife, Archangel, Jovah's Angel, The Alleluia Files, Wrapt in Crystal, Heart of Gold, and Summers at Castle Auburn. The new book, Jenna Starborn, will be a futuristic retelling of the Jane Eyre story.
