Beschreibung

LOVE IS A BATTLEFIELD Gregory Gallowglass is the eligible bachelor on the planet of Gramarye. The youngest son of the High Warlock Rod Gallowglass and the witch Gwendolyn, his powers of intellect and magic are without equal. But he's best known for his heart-one as pure as it is impervious to love. To the femme fatale assassin Finister, it's the ultimate challenge-first to conquer it, then drive a knife through it. Using her best charms both sorcerous and seductive, Finister finds a chink in his emotional armor and captures his heart. Gregory drops his defenses-and she strikes. But then something goes wrong. Her attack fails to kill him... but Gregory still loves her. Now what? With neither side willing to surrender, the deadly dance continues. Can Gregory really win his assassin's heart through simple kindness, compassion, and patience? One thing is certain: having finally found love, Gregory is willing to risk everything to gain it-or die trying.

Autor

Christopher Stasheff (1944 - 2018) was a teacher, thespian, techie, and author of science fiction & fantasy novels. One of the pioneers of "science fantasy," his career spanned four decades, 44 novels (including translations into Czech, German, Italian, Russian, and Japanese), 29 short stories, and seven 7 anthologies. His novels are famous for their humor (and bad puns), exploration of comparative political systems, and philosophical undertones. He always had difficulty distinguishing fantasy from reality and tried to compensate by teaching college. When teaching proved too real, he gave it up in favor of writing full time. He tended to pre-script his life, but couldn't understand why other people never got their lines right. This caused a fair amount of misunderstanding with his wife and four children. He wrote novels because it was the only way he could be the director, the designer, and all the actors too. Chris died in 2018 from Parkinson's Disease. He will be remembered by his friends, family, fans, and students for his kind and gentle nature, his willingness to guide and mentor any who asked, and for his witty sense of humor. His terrible puns, however, will be forgotten as soon as humanly possible.
