Ballad of Oski-Ahessi: Two lovers meet and join their hearts; that is how this story starts. Ships set sail from distant ports; pursuing wealth of endless sorts. Seeking life for royal courts; but leaving death by all reports. Into a land in need of rain; one was born who would know pain. Oski-Ahessi what's in a name? Friend of fauna, friend of rain. Trees and grass spring forth again; she would die but not in vain. Love of silver and of gold; thirst for riches wealth untold. Endless youth and never old; could anyone be so bold? Should one survive yet be so cold; or for another's life be sold? Driven onward by their greed; obsession's grasp cannot be freed. Lust the poison's only seed; blood the vine must we feed. Life for life can any need? In the end where will this lead? Cruel men with distant ties; spreading death and countless lies. At their hand the gentle dies; angry shouts above the cries. Her soul the grave will not despise; and with the eagle will arise. The sword leaves a bloody trail; robbing life from the frail. As the hawk upon the quail; man takes life against the pale. Hate is strong in deep travail; in the end love will prevail. One life ended with a gun; riches sought and treasure won. In truth the tale has just begun; heaven's plan no man outrun. And so the two again are one; and destiny will be done.

This Angel Bites by Jill Ireland (1 Review)    Price verified 5 hours ago

This book is the finale of the Alphabitch series, that focuses on the Hutton children; Harlequin and Hollister. It may be read as a stand alone book, but due to the mountain of preceding events, I would recommend the previous books to add clarity. The original book chronicles the adventures of Charlie Hutton as she navigates the confining and confounding Victorian age in which she finds herself, where she has been accidentally propelled in a time travel experiment. She returns to her 1980's home in La Jolla California with Conner FitzGerald, who becomes collateral damage as an unwitting companion. The second book, Heart-On continues the tumultuous relationship as he adjusts to the modern world and his hostess, as their love and attraction deepens, in spite of the impossibility of a relationship. They originate in utterly different societies and are as unsuited as two people could be, but the romance persists through centuries, past and future, culminating in the final book that ends in mid two thousand.
