Fresh Fiction Review

The Shattered Sylph
L.J. McDonald

Reviewed by Vicky Gilpin
Posted April 28, 2010

Fantasy | Paranormal Romance

Lizzy has always known she's had a connection with her father's battle sylph, Ril, but she didn't know how unique it was until she was thrown into a battler's harem. Ties of family, friendship, promises and loyalty are tested as Lizzy's father Leon plots to do everything in his power to save his daughter. In her second work in what hopefully becomes a lengthy series with many unique elements, L.J. McDonald scores a smash hit. Although excellent as a stand-alone, THE SHATTERED SYLPH brings together themes and concepts from THE BATTLE SYLPH with great aplomb and leaves the reader wanting more. An outstanding sophomore novel, THE SHATTERED SYLPH further develops the mysteries of the battle sylphs, as well as explores what happens when a man with a precarious alliance with his battle sylph, his sylph and a young man who loves his daughter must try to rescue his daughter from kidnappers.

SUMMARY

SHATTERED
nKidnapped by slavers, Lizzie Petrule was dragged in chains across the Great Sea to the corrupt empire of Meridal. There, beneath a floating citadel and an ocean of golden sand, lies a pleasure den for gladiators— and a prison for the maidens forced to slake their carnal thirst.n

nDespite impossible odds, against imponderable magic, three men have vowed Lizzie’s return: Justin, her suitor; Leon, her father; and Ril, the shape- shifting but war-weary battler. Together, this broken band can save her, but only with a word that must remain unsaid, a foe that is a friend, and a betrayal that is, at heart, an act of love.
