Mariah Marron has always known that she was plain and
insanity seems to run in the family, so she knew that if
someone married her it would be to gain her father's
money. Unfortunately, she has her heart set on love, and
furthermore her father wants her to have a title.
Surprisingly, she gains both in the form of the Earl of
Donnington. However, her marriage ends on her wedding
night when her husband leaves her unexpectedly. Left to
her own devices, she decides to explore her new home. She
finds a man who bears a striking resemblance to her missing
husband imprisoned in an outbuilding. Who is this
stranger? Is her husband responsible for the man's
imprisonment? Where has her husband gone and will he ever
return?
Ash as the woman calls him does not remember much of
anything. He only knows that the name Donnington ignites
his ire. As time passes under Mariah's care, he regains
his senses and remembers that he is Arion, the King of the
Unicorns. He was betrayed and sent to the earth realm as a
man. His mission is to gain Mariah's trust and get her to
cross over to Faery in order to seal the bargain made by
Lord Donnington and in return he will be able to regain his
unicorn form though he will still be forced into exile. He
loses no matter what happens. Will he betray the woman
that has come to care for him? Or will the bond they share
help them overcome the trap in which they find themselves?
Susan Krinard always writes spectacular paranormal romance,
and LORD OF LEGENDS is no exception. I was quickly drawn
into Mariah's plight, and was ready to embark on whatever
adventure she landed upon. Arion is the unexpected prize,
and from the first time we meet him, we know that he is
special. Mariah and Arion have a rather interesting
relationship that is fun to watch bloom. With a supporting
cast of conniving characters, this tale is far from boring
and there is no way to know what is going to happen next.
LORD OF LEGENDS is a fanciful read that harbors just enough
secrets to keep the story fast paced and intriguing.
He is Arion, King of the Unicorns. Powerful, seductive,
he could possess any female he desired—until now. He is
condemned to live as a man, and it is only the enchanting
Lady Mariah Donnington's innocence that can release him from
his curse.
Abandoned on her wedding night, frightened
of her hidden, otherworldly heritage, Mariah is
instinctively drawn to the mysterious stranger she discovers
imprisoned on her husband's estate. But as the secret of
Arion's magical identity unfolds, their friendship burns
into a passion that cannot, must not, be consummated. For to
do so would destroy them both….
