Starflower is a tale of love, not strictly romantic love, but of the journey toward choosing to put others first, to risk losing total autonomy, and to show love to others even when they are not outwardly deserving of it. Starflower predates Heartless and tells the tale of a much younger and more, often humorously, self-centered Eanrin and adding still more depth and breadth to the already rich and lustrous story world Stengl has created. It may be Starflower alone who can rescue Gleamdren and battle an ancient dark power.įans of the Tales of Goldstone Wood will recognize Eanrin as the wise and mischievous cat who often kept company with the Princess Una in Heartless, the first novel in the series. As she accompanies Eanrin on his quest, a deep connection emerges between the girl and the dragonwitch. On his journey he encounters a human girl locked in a spell of sleep and finds he cannot simply leave the unlucky mortal to her fate.Įanrin wakes Starflower from her sleep, intent upon sending her on her way, but the maiden knows little of the treacherous Wood.
Two of her most devoted admirers race to her rescue, and the Bard Eanrin is determined to be first to reach his ladylove. The entire court of immortal faeries is distraught when beloved and beautiful Lady Gleamdren is kidnapped by a fearsome dragon-witch. Published NovemAmazon | Barnes & Noble | Goodreads
