The Sunbound

by Cynthia Felice

The whole thing with that stone just dropped into Allis's life like a bomb. So did Dan's death, but not until after he'd lied his way into her life. Now she's been shanghaied by the space faring gypsies of the Sovereign Sun, gypsies who are threatened on all sides. Their captain, Milane, is a stone-carrier, too, and Dan's lover. Allis is their new stone-carrier and she's no help at all and not inclined to try to be. But Allis alone holds the power to face down a cabal of ancient enemies, not to mention villainous rival gypsies. And now she's running out of time. She didn't know about the clock inside her belly, but when she does, we see Allis in her full push-back mode, surviving one crisis after another. This is space opera with grand vista!
