Stars of Fortune

October 15, 2015
Once upon a time, the moon goddesses Celene, Arianrhod, and Luna created three new stars fashioned out of fire, water, and ice as gifts for their new queen. But Narezza, the Mother of Darkness, coveted the stars and their power, so the moon goddesses hid them in three different locations. Now, seven hundred years later, artist Sasha Riggs is plagued by dreams of a sun-drenched Mediterranean island and a mystery man who has the supernatural ability to control lightning. Haunted by her visions, Sasha arrives in Corfu, where she not only finds magician Bran Killian, but four other peopleRiley Gwin, Sawyer King, Annika Waters, and Doyle McClearywhose fates and futures are tied up in a dangerous quest for the fire star. Long-time fans of Roberts (The Liar, 2015) may find an echo or two of some of her earlier series, such as the Key Trilogy, in the launch title of her latest fantasy-fueled contemporary romance, but Roberts' superior storytelling skills as well as the book's evocatively drawn setting are guaranteed to keep readers happily turning the pages.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2015, American Library Association.)
