Nanya of the Butterflies

Sun Wolf and Starhawk

by Barbara Hambly

A novelette of 14,000 words. In his quest for a wizard to teach him to use his powers, former mercenary captain Sun Wolf thinks he may have finally found one. Unfortunately, it looks like that one has summoned a dragon to destroy an innocent town - and it's the second dragon to afflict the town in two years. Yet the only wizard he finds there is an untaught - and very pretty - little hedge-witch who sells perfumes and illusions.

About the author

aka Barbara Hamilton

Ranging from fantasy to historical fiction, Barbara Hambly has a masterful way of spinning a story. Her twisty plots involve memorable characters, lavish descriptions, scads of novel words, and interesting devices. Her work spans the Star Wars universe, antebellum New Orleans, and various fantasy worlds, sometimes linked with our own.


"I always wanted to be a writer but everyone kept telling me it was impossible to break into the field or make money. I've proven them wrong on both counts."
-Barbara Hambly

Cynicism and the "barbarian" sensibilities for the win!
