(novella in Tangled Webs And Other Imaginary Weaving from Dark Regions Press, 2002) About The Chronicles of the Last War He
was a Keltoran Mercenary. She was a True
Healer devoted to her god. The only thing
they had in common was that they were each running away from their pasts and were now
thrown together on a battlefield in a kingdom torn apart by magic and war. As
Black Hunters, demons and blood mages bent on destroying humanity advance, it will take
Conor, a man who wields steel as deftly as he deals words, Ethine a woman whose touch can
mean life or death, and a battle mage named Michan – who knows these two will play a
greater role in the fate of mankind--to save the world. But
it may actually be harder to bring Conor and Eithne together as man and wife. Included
in this collection are the short novel THE BLACK HUNTER, the novella WILLOWHERB and the
novelette WYRD. “Laura
Underwood takes threads from ancient Celtic tales and reweaves them in her own bright
tapestry with her Keltoran tales of the kingdom of Ard-Taebh. Bogies and bloodmages, magic and battles, all
fashion a compelling background for vivid characters like Eithne and Conor. The three tales here are sure to please anyone who
loves rollicking fantasy adventure at its most entertaining.” –Sherwood Smith “Laura
creates her own engaging Celtic myth and history in characters and stories that stick with
you long after the last page has been turned and the book returned with a reluctant sigh
to the bookshelf.” – Melisa Michaels, author of SISTER TO THE RAIN (Roc) “World
building so engaging and believable one expects to find these places – and people!
– in the history books.” – Richard Michaels, Publisher, Embiid Publishing Links to interview with Laura J. Underwood. Part 2
