The Futuristic World of St. Helen’s is a three-book romance trilogy by Jayne Castle, a pen name of Jayne Ann Krentz. Published between 1996 and 1998, the books are set on a colonized world where psychic abilities are part of everyday life. Each book is named after a flower: Amaryllis, Zinnia, and Orchid.
The series combines romance with a science fiction setting, featuring heroines with psychic talents who find themselves entangled with powerful, dangerous men. The trilogy predates Castle’s longer-running Harmony series, which takes a similar approach to blending futuristic world-building with romantic suspense.
