After the murder of her husband, Astrid Bramfield ran away
to the wilds of the Northwest Territory. No more would she
be an adventurer, trying to keep the magical Sources from
the Heirs of Albion. Instead, she resigns herself to the
hard lifestyle in the wild that forces her to live even
when she doesn't want to. However, when Astrid has to
rescue a naked man who doesn't realize the magic of his own
origins, she is thrust back to a time when she needed more
than grit to survive: she needed knowledge, determination
and inner strength.
For Nathan Lesperance, Astrid has those in spades. As a
Native American forced to submit to a governmental
education, Nathan has used his own perseverance to achieve
more than anyone encouraged him to; as a lawyer, he
continues to hone his mental skills against challenging
problems. However, Nathan did not realize the Northwest
Territory would be a double-edged sword of problems, as
well as answers.
A well-crafted book, REBEL makes one want to read the two
prior books in the Blades of the Rose series, as well as
STRANGER, the next book coming in December.
On the Canadian frontier in 1875, nature is a harsh
mistress. But the supernatural can really do you in…
A LONE WOLF
Nathan Lesperance is used to being different. He’s the first
Native attorney in Vancouver, and welcome neither with white
society nor his sometime tribe. Not to mention the powerful
wildness he’s always felt inside him, too dangerous to set
free. Then he met Astrid Bramfield and saw his like within
her piercing eyes. Now, unless she helps him through the
harsh terrain and the harsher unknowns of his true
abilities, it could very well get him killed…
AND THE WOMAN WHO LEFT THE PACK
Astrid has traveled this path before. Once she was a Blade
of the Rose, protecting the world’s magic from unscrupulous
men, with her husband by her side. But she’s loved and lost,
and as a world-class frontierswoman, she knows all about
survival. Nathan’s searing gaze and long, lean muscles mean
nothing but trouble. Yet something has ignited a forgotten
flame inside her: a burning need for adventure, for life—and
perhaps even for love…
