Product Description
by J. Scott Coatsworth (Author)
These three tales tell the story of Tharassas before the Tharassas Cycle, including the origin of the hencha queens, the ce'faine, and the colonization of the Highlands, essential companions for the four novels that make up the cycle:
The Fallen Angel
Charlie Fah, Cha'Fah to most of the world, has never fit in with the other citizens of Gully Town, thanks to his darker skin that sets him apart. But one day, an Angel arrives on a supply run from Earth, and what happens next sets Charlie on a new path that will turn his life upside down.
The Last Run
Sera is the last runner from Earth, bringing badly needed supplies to the Tharassas Colony across a twenty-five year gulf between the planets. Jas works on a hencha farm to make ends meet, harvesting berries from the semi-sentient plants. Neither one that knows their lives-and worlds-are about to change forever.
The Emp Test
Jey awakens to find himself in the care of a handsome stranger-a cheff from one of the mountain tribes. Afraid for his life, Jey has no choice but to let the man take care of him and his broken leg. Avain is on his Aud'ling-the coming-of-age test that requires him to spend a couple months away from his own people. The two of them will have to come to an understanding if they're going to help one another.
The Last Run and The Emp Test have been published before in previous stand-alone editions, but The Fallen Angel is a new story written exclusively for this collection.
