Publisher Description
Journey back to the planet Celta with award-winning author Robin D. Owens in this novel about shadowed enemies and unimaginable psi power.
Muin “Vinni” T'Vine has been the prophet of Celta since he was six years old. A unique and lonely child, his strong psi power made most people wary of him. But now that he’s older, he’s ready to marry and protect the girl he’s known was his HeartMate for years.
Avellana isn't as fragile as Vinni believes…nor as compliant. She fights to be considered Vinni's equal and a strong member of her Family and community. Both of them have kept Avellana's main power secret for over a decade.
But rumors of her strange psi talent are spreading, and Vinni is experiencing premonitions of danger to Avellana—even from the highest people of the land. When the whispers become threats, Vinni and Avellana must discover and defeat their secret enemies before they can finally claim happiness together.

Good but....
I’m going to be brutally honest here. Robin D. Owens is a fantastic writer and storyteller. Her HeartMate series is simply one of my favorites. However, once I get to book 15, I stop reading (though currently, I’m reading it because I want to complete the series regardless of how I feel about it). The rhythm of Owens’ and overall tenor of writing begins to change in book 13. Up until book 13, the HeartMate series is simply about overcoming inner and external pressures, problems, and flaws; then it seems to change into something political. I never felt comfortable reading book 15, because there is a feeling of personal bias and prejudice in the story that is blatantly obvious - particularly to those who can feel and sense when the story becomes more about the writer’s personal ideologies rather than the plot. The story in book 15 becomes more about pushing an ideal onto the reader, rather than allowing the story and reader to evolve naturally. As both an avid reader and a writer, I don’t want to read a fictional book and feel like I’m being lectured to. And, unfortunately, that’s what book 14 and 15 make me feel - like if you’re part of a certain group in your personal life than you’re bad and are considered narrow-minded, archaic, don’t believe in or embrace progress, and are a considerable threat to the status quo. Addressing social issues through a work of fiction is all well and good, but not when that work of fiction becomes a platform to push personal biases onto the public. Stories should be engaging, bring interest and excitement to the reader, and allow them to feel they can fall into these stories and lose themselves for hours.
