Instead of being on stage playing her hearts music, Sidonie
Martel finds herself in a mystical world. Kidnapped and put
into the hands of the evil Queen of the Fae Isabeau with
only her music to protect her, but soon to lose even that.
To survive and hope to some day escape Sidonie must listen
to the dark advice and welcome the healing hands of her one
ally -- or is he the enemy.
The handsome, mysterious Morgan le Fae, is bound to the
queen by an evil spell, has luckily learned how to twist
her commands to get some relief from his fate. Once a
powerful wizard, now leashed to the queen's every whim,
Morgan finds that he does have a weakness. A little human
musician who has been brought into this deadly world and
draws something from him that he thought long dead.
SPELLBINDER is author Thea Harrison's second of
her Moonshadow
series. This is her Elder Races UK version
and while I personally missed Dragos, Pia and their
demesnes this trilogy still holds the same magical feel as
the others. I found Sidonie to be strong, resourceful and
determined to survive the magical frightening world she
found herself in. I thought it rather intriguing that her
music was so spellbinding that even some of the most
powerful Djinn had bargained with her to get the best
tickets to her concert. Guess that says just how special
she is.
Morgan, I thought, after having been imprisoned by the
queen for so long, that Sid might have been just what he
needed to give him back his -- well, I guess you could call
it -- his humanity. He had been a powerful sorcerer, a king
maker but Queen Isabeau made him her slave. Sidonie gave
him back his heart, then he goes and breaks hers -- but fear
not, he has to learn what is important and he does just
that. The mystical world that Ms. Harrison offers us is an
amazing escape, with characters we might love or hate, but
at least she makes us feel something which is an impressive
talent.
If you are looking for an escape to a world with mystical
beings, magic, evil overcome by good, love, steamy and
sweet moments then I promise you SPELLBINDER will give you
all that and more.
Kidnapped while on tour, musician Sidonie Martel is transported to the mystical land of Avalon. A human without magical ability, she is completely vulnerable to the deadly forces surrounding her. When she defies her captors and refuses to share her music, an act of violent cruelty leaves her broken, her ability to play silenced, maybe forever. Her only hope is a whisper in the dark, gentle hands that offer healing, and a man who refuses to show her his face yet who offers advice she dare not ignore. One of the most feared and powerful sorcerers in history, Morgan le Fae serves a Queen he despises, Isabeau of the Light Court. Once a famous bard and an advisor to kings, Morgan has been enslaved to Isabeau for hundreds of years, acting as enforcer and the commander of her deadly Hounds. Sidonie’s music touches Morgan in places he had abandoned centuries ago, and her fiery spirit resurrects feelings he had believed long dead. For Sidonie, trapped in captivity, passion offers a comfort she cannot resist. But Isabeau holds Morgan bound in magical chains that only Death can break. And in the court of a cruel, jealous Queen, the only thing that burns hotter than love is revenge…
