"Outstanding futuristic romance"
The Raheiran forces win the battle against the Fav'lhir
that saves the Kahlaran. However, during the fight, the
explosion of an enemy ship near her vessel apparently
killed Raheiran Special Forces Captain Gillaine Davre and
her sentient ship SIMON.
Three hundred and forty-two years later, Gillaine surfaces
but cannot explain how or why. Because she was a hero in
the great battle, over time her role grew and changed into
one whom died divinely so that the Kahlaran remade her into
a Goddess with her own temple. Shocked beyond belief,
Gillaine wants to tell the truth that the enemy explosion
propelled her through a time warp, what really occurred at
the decisive battle, and how mortal she is, but quickly
realizes how fragile the Kahlaran remains.
Admiral Rynan Makarian finds himself quite attracted to
Gillaine and quickly concludes she is his soulmate. Though
she feels the same, she fears the consequences to her
worshippers of acting on her heart's desires. However,
history seems to be repeating itself as a threat from space
is nearing leading Gillaine to wonder if a higher purpose
sent her through time to complete the job.
AN ACCIDENTAL GODDESS is an exciting science fiction
fantasy with a delightful dab of romance that readers of
all three genres will agree is a clever action-packed
conjoining of elements that make for quite a terrific time
for the audience regardless of classification preference.
The lead protagonists are intrepid and caring individuals
who understand their duty yet find a love that transcends
the ages leading to the audience seeking other works by
Megan Sybil Baker (see the prequel, WINTERTIDE).
