Reseña del libro "The Children of Auriga: Love's Legacy through Time and Space (Bess's Story) (en Inglés)"
Three children escaped; their parents did not. Now fully grown, one silent, one hurting, one guilty - they must run again, this time with human help. Hunted from the Auriga constellation, to seventeenth century Earth, to the planet Avergne...can they survive old enemies and new? Of the three Wrenn-Albans who eluded the Aurigan military, Liss is mute, her voice silenced by a debilitating drain on her power during their escape; Adz is hurting and blames his father as he falls into a downward spiral of drunkenness and sexual excess; Bess is consumed by guilt at her inability to keep her promise to make the other two understand why things had to be the way they were at the very end. Edward Gomfrey, once Bess's lover, should have been the person to help her bear the burden, but he has become a vindictive, self-seeking and controlling enemy. In his view, Bess should have handfasted with him, should obey him in everything. And he's plotting to get rid of her brother...permanently. Watching Bess's misery is a human stableman...Will Allerton. He is no stranger to misfortune - he was one of those held in the slave work-camp in Auriga and, after his return, his wife died in childbirth when an Aurigan medic was denied her by Edward. Over the years, Will has fallen in love with Bess, but wonders how an Aurigan and a human can ever be together, fearful that he will lose her friendship if he declares his wish to marry her. The Children of Auriga: Love's Legacy through Time and Space (Bess's Story) follows on from the tragic events of the last book in the Anstey's Kingdom trilogy: Anstey's Legacy: No Greater Love.
