Soul - Troy A. Hill

. .

Résumé :
Originally published as A Soul of Steel. Claws decimate Penllyn. Will Maria's skills with her sword be enough to save the people she loves? Maria's secrets, her thirst for blood, and her blossoming power as a disciple of an ancient Celtic Goddess must stay hidden from the people of Penllyn, and especially from the Witch Hunters Guild. They'll stop at nothing to bring a blood witch like her to their twisted sense of justice. But, she may be the only weapon that Lord Penllyn can deploy against the deadly foe ripping his people apart in the silent night. Maria's past and present collide when her skills as a true master of the sword are revealed. Her undead brother reaches out from the past with a gift, a soul of steel for her to rediscover her love of the dance. Her thirst rises, not just for the dance with the blade, but also for the man who bridges both Maria and her brother: Lord Emlyn. He raises her passions both on the weapons field and off. Only her undead speed and strength allow her to keep up with Penllyn's swordmaster. Will their blades, and Gwen's magic be enough to stop whatever beast is destroying Penllyn's people while hiding Maria's nature from the Witch Hunters ?

Salvatore's Drizzt series made me want to combine vampires and dark fantasy along with a historical setting. I chose to explore Arthurian mythology. Which led me to the Welsh tales in Y Mabinogi. And then I wished I was Welsh.? My wife and I, both of us from the midwest section of America, currently live in Los Angeles, California. Which is about as from Wales as one can get in the English speaking Northern hemisphere. I'm a retired journalist and professional photographer. Now I write while sitting on our balcony with my fuzzy editor, Loco-Kitty.?I'm currently editing, writing, or dreaming up plot points for the Cup of Blood series of novels (sequels to The Penllyn Chronicles). When I'm not doing either of those, I hang out at the Santa Monica Pier and give historical walking tours of the pier....
