After seven years outrunning enemies, friends, and his own
soul crushing memories, Brendan Douglas is risking
everything on a desperate mission. He has vowed to thwart
the evil mage Máelodor’s plans to unlock the past and
reshape the future; unfortunately, the precious treasure
that is his key to success lies with a woman Brendan jilted
seven years before.
A woman determined to find a life of her own . . .
When her golden-eyed childhood hero abandoned her at the
altar—disappearing in a storm of magic and mayhem,
destruction, betrayal, and disaster—Elisabeth Fitzgerald
struggled to put away her humiliation and loss. Finally, she
has found a new fiancé and a comfortable future. Then, the
one man she thought she would never see again appears—among
her wedding guests. Brendan Douglas has returned.
An inescapable destiny . . .
It’s not just that Elisabeth is promised to another; Brendan
knows he is drawing her into terrible danger. But he cannot
resist the bewitching, brave, wholly unexpected woman his
youthful nemesis has become. He promised to sacrifice
everything, but is he willing to sacrifice Elisabeth?
A satisfying conclusion to the trilogy, Brendan is likely the hero most in need of saving. Elisabeth is also a terrific heroine, spunky, sharp of wit and sharper of tongue. I think what I particularly like about this series is that none of the characters are cookie cutters filling a role. Each has depth, vulnerabilities and characteristics, hopes, dreams that need to be overcome or woven into their destinies. A fascinating world, well written. I hope that Alix Rickloff finds a way to visit the world again, I would be sad if this was the last book set there. (Diana Troldahl 12:15pm July 14, 2012)
