The Fey King has defied the Human, Fey and Mage worlds to
claim his Truemate, Elly. As a woodcarver's foundling
daughter who's turned out to be so much more than anyone
expected, Elly defies all labels. There seems to be no
boundaries when it comes to what this mysterious woman can
accomplish.
Finally free of the restraints put on her in childhood,
Elly is learning to use and control her magic. Rain is
certain that she's the key to saving the Tairen race, but
Elly is of uncertain parentage and Mage-claimed. Now the
dark magic that marks her frightens many who are close to
Rain and they counsel him to banish her...or worse. But Rain
will stick by his woman and see her reach her full
potential; she'll do no less for him.
I can't recommend this series highly enough. The world is
detailed, imaginative and original. The characters and
races are well-defined and three-dimensional. The story is
the perfect blend of fantasy and romance as it flows
effortlessly. As a reader, I'm delighted to follow it, for
years...I hope. Buy it. Now. You're crazy if you don't. This
is a series for your keeper shelf. One to lift your
spirits, to keep you guessing and to fall in love with.
Returning to the Fading Lands with his Celierian truemate,
Rain discovers a dissension among the most powerful
members of his own council. As the Eld plot their next
deadly strike, Ellysetta struggles to master her powerful
magic and discover how to save the tairen, while Rain
confronts open challenge to his rule and prepares to lead
the Fey army to war.
