[edit] Premonitions

Troy is reclusive and isolated when Heaven first meets him, shutting himself off from the outside world and living alone in his cottage. Heaven however, begins to convince him to allow her into his life, only to discover that he has dreams of his own death and doesn't believe he will live much longer. He reveals that he dreamt of Leigh's death years ago, and doesn't understand why he goes on living when they were the same, both longing for things that can't be found in this world, and in a sense, Heaven.


[edit] Troy and Heaven

Troy and Heaven become lovers and intended to marry. Their happiness was cut short however, when Tony revealed they were in fact Uncle and niece, as he had raped Heaven's mother, and was in fact Heaven's father. Devastated, Heaven went on to marry Logan Stonewall when she believed Troy had died, yet upon his return they had an affair resulting in the birth of their daughter Annie. Troy and Heaven never saw each other again, and when she died and was buried on the Farthingale estate, Troy was seen by his daughter as a ghost figure who visited Heavens grave and wept for his lost love.

[edit] Annie Stonewall

Annie Stonewall is Troy's daughter who was raised by Logan and only later discovered the truth of her parentage after her mothers death. Annie and Troy became close, yet he never left Farthingale except for the birth of his grandchildren.

[edit] Return from the Dead

Troy is said by Tony to have ridden Jillians Arabian horse Abdulla Bar into the ocean, and died. It seems that his premonitions have at last come true, but ironically in the form of a suicide as he couldn't live without loving Heaven. An error occurs in the series however, as Tony tells Heaven in Dark Angel (written by Virginia Andrews) that Troys body was found, yet, in Fallen Hearts ghostwriter Neiderman brings Troy back to life, reasoning that Troy faked his own death to find freedom and peace away from everyone he once knew. This error is only one of many gliches Neiderman has created in his continuation of the Casteel series.

[edit] Fanfiction

Troy and Heaven are a regular favourite in Casteel fanfiction, filling in gaps to continue their affair. Despite their incestous relationship, the couple were a favourite, more so than Heavens childhood sweetheart and future husband Logan Stonewall.
