So, with a hundred dollars in her pocket and a one-way bus ticket out of town, Jacqueline was told not to come back until she had come to her senses. And that included being prepared to marry the son of a business associate of the family. Fifteen years later—long after she’d hitch-hiked to Los Angeles, long after she’d worked nights to put herself through college, and long after she’d written her first best seller, No Place For Family—Jacqueline is persuaded to go back to the tiny town of Pine Springs after her father’s death. The quick trip she’d envisioned for the funeral turns into weeks as she learns her father’s business is suddenly hers to manage. And she is also again face-to-face with the woman who, as a teen, had been Jackie’s first crush. She and Kay had been inseparable as kids, and later as teens. They find themselves falling back into their old habits, and Jackie is soon fighting the same feelings she’d had when she was seventeen.

Some 35 years prior to the first book, Shaftal was invaded by an army of Sainnites who, in an attempt to eradicate the magic which might be used against them, killed all the elemental witches they could locate. However they failed to realise that magic is inherent in the Shaftali and children have been born since who can wield it. Furthermore the Sainnites have become cut off from their homeland and are subject to constant guerilla action from the Shaftali. Fire Logic, book 1: In the world of Fire Logic, the rare individuals born with magic talent are known as elementals, because they possess the power of fire, earth, air, or water. The fire elemental Emil is a Paladin, a Shaftali soldier-scholar who is about to embark on his most desired studies when the invading Sainnites capture the capitol and kill the wizard ruler, leaving no heir; now Emil must become a war commander in the remnants of the Shaftali army. Another fire elemental, Zanja na'Tarwein, is the Ashawala'i Speaker, but she cannot convince her own people of the full danger of the Sainnites. Karis, a half-giant blacksmith, has tremendous earth powers that might defeat the Sainnites--if she weren't addicted to a potent, deadly drug that steals her will. Her guardian, Norina the Truthken, is an air elemental able to see through any lie, yet she is blind to dangerous truths about both her half-giant charge and Paladin treachery. Earth Logic, book 2: Shaftal is a leaderless land, ravaged by invaders and hit hard by plague, and Shaftal is dying. Many years ago, the old G'deon died without passing on his power, or so most people had thought. There remained rumors, however, of a new, as yet undiscovered G'deon, who would crush the Sainnites and save Shaftal. In fact, Karis is that rumored G'deon, though forbidden to act or rule as such until the time is right, and not even Karis knew when that would be. She knew only that it was approaching quickly. As Shaftal fell further and further into devastation, and as the people Karis loved were put into danger again and again, she could only watch helplessly and wait for a sign. Meanwhile, trapped with her people between a group of murderous, renegade Paladins and the invading Sannite garrison, Karis is fiercely determined to establish peace, no matter what, and without further violence. She doesn't know how, but she does know beyond doubt that a way will open to her. Water Logic, book 3: The Sainnites and the Shaftal have been enemies for ages, but when Karis was declared G'deon, it became her responsibility to find a way to bring peace to the divided land, which she has, tentatively. The two peoples share land and work, but old hatreds smolder. And then a would-be assassin tries to kill Karis, and things get crazy. Clement, general of Karis' army, faces off with old friend but now rival general Heras over control of five mutinied garrisons now under Heras. Clement is killed and restored to life, but now she has lost all courage. Karis restores that courage at the increasing expense of Clement's mental health. The general, sound for some time after Karis touches her head, eventually becomes stupid; Karis can restore her again, but each successive relapse is worse. Meanwhile, a water witch steals Karis' wife, Zanja, and transports her 200 years into the past, in which she has her own parallel adventures that affect the future; that is, her natural present. ------------------- Ash by Malinda Lo - After her mother's death, Aisling (aka Ash) is devastated.

Join the crews of women pirates who triumph in victory, face the gallows, and become unlikely heroes–women who follow the code of the Skull & Crossbones. [Anthology] - Stacia Seaman & Radclyffe - Stolen Moments Erotic Interludes 2 [Anthology] - Catherine M. Wilson - When Women Were Warriors - Book 1 The classic hero of myth and legend is defined in masculine terms. How, then, can there be an authentic female hero - a hero who is both authentic as a hero and authentic as a woman? While the hero's journey is one of the most ancient and most popular themes of world literature, casting a female protagonist in this classic form is fraught with difficulty. The heroic archetype portrays the hero as the embodiment of the masculine ideal. But to judge a woman by the strengths and virtues of the typical male hero does her an injustice, because women have strengths and virtues of their own. The hero of When Women Were Warriors becomes a hero, not by defeating her enemies in battle, although she does that too, but by learning to master herself and to understand the human heart. She becomes, not a powerful person, but a person of power.
