O’Hara never wanted to be a hero. He was a combat pilot only because his skills made him the best and Earth needed men like him to fight the enemy amongst the stars. Living a life a service and duty, alone in a cockpit suited him well, but fate had other plans for him. Shot down over an alien planet he was saved by a beautiful and mysterious woman named Katreena. He soon learns that the world is populated by people who seemed to have been lost by time and controlled by stones that the people believe to be divine magic. Wanting only to return to his fleet, he discovers that he has more than a passing connection with the world’s people, a love that resurrects a heart long thought dead and a decisive battle to the war that followed him.

The New Terra Sagas

With the first light of dawn, the road leading south from Bryerstone was a sea of over 2000 people.  Some on foot and some on carts pulled by animals or saddled Kanis-steeds.  The royal guard that always stayed with the Queen took the lead with the Royal caravan in the front of the line, a line which went back for over a mile as they slowly moved toward the next Kingdom.  The journey would take them over three days at a foot traveler's pace.  Some wanted to ride ahead, but the Queen would not have it.  Her command was that they all stay together as there was safety in numbers.
