Romance Paranormal

Ariana Kane Varden, as daughter of the Sun Witch, is also a witch. Her power is healing, and she's an empath. Her job for the past few months has been treating Emperor Arik, who's been on his deathbed, unbeknownst to anyone else.

Then Sian Sayre Chamblyn shows up with a prophecy. A great war with evil is coming and Ariana is to help lead the opposition. Ariana will need to hone her skills and develop new ones, which Sian can help with, since he's a wizard. He's also extremely attractive, which makes spending time with him a pleasure. However, Sian has more knowledge of the prophecy he hasn't told Ariana, that it foretells her death during the struggle. Since he's falling in love with her, Sian decides to go with Ariana into battle and will do anything he can to prevent her death.

PRINCE OF MAGIC is the first novel in Ms. Jones' Children of the Moon trilogy, which continues the family line of the Fyne Sisters of the Sun trilogy. The setting is familiar, to an extent, the characters very likable and the storyline is very believable, especially since it follows the previous series. The next installment, PRINCE OF FIRE, is due out next month and the third, PRINCE OF SWORDS, is due in May. I can't wait to read them and plan to get all three as soon as they hit the shelves. A good read.

SUMMARY

The firstborn children of the Fyne witches have finally come into their own, each with a special gift . . .

Independent Ariana Kane Varden, daughter of the Sun Witch, has never let family duty from reaching her dreams. She learned the practice of her gift, the power to heal others, at her mother's knee. And now she is the palace healer, tending to her emperor . . .

The last prophesy of magician Sian Chamblyn's late grandfather points to Ariana as the one to save Columbyana from a growing evil. Sian has hightailed it from lands afar to deliver the message. While he prepares her for the fight of her life, Sian intends to remain undistracted by his sensuously beautiful protégée. But in the heat of battle - and passion -- diligence might be his downfall . . .
