Book one opened the doors to a new world and gave me answers to questions that I will find that I needed to get through book two without being confused. There was more of the vivid imagery, magic song and music, the wood, the realm, the court, the secrets, and the lord wanting nothing more than for Telyn to be no more. I even got me so surprise characters that I love in any book I can get them in. Not telling.

Life for this young bard and her lifemate has taking on new lines of battel. Stay in the wood. Stay together. Stay in court. Stay. Stay. Stay. The life of a bard was to travel, see the world, make music, spread the lyrics. Telyn has so many decisions to make and not much time to make them. Mithrais has his own set of problems to sort through. The time has come for them to make their choices. Choices that has an effect on more than just themselves.

Beautifully written. Well crafted, molded, and solidified. This was high fantasy at its finest. There magic, mystery, fantasy, mythical aspects and more. I highly recommend reading book one first then book two. You will get so much more out of the two of them together. Book two brings together what you find in book one so magically.… (meer)

Telyn’s gift of song and music has an affect that was not precedent. She could control action and emotions of those that are within the sound of her voice. With this said and done in the vicinity of the king’s court she becomes and exile in the land and in danger in other was from others. Fate intervenes and sends a protector, Mithrais. The two find that keeping her alive was a common goal but there was another that was deeper than a goal and stronger than a bond. Magic has been brought back to the world via the talents of Telyn. Along with the good, evil finds its way back also. This first book of the series was a magic fantasy historical young adult journey that brings about a gift to evoke powerful emotions and long lasting actions.

The world created here was vivid and drawing. I could feel myself being immersed in each new scenery. I was thrilled with this fantasy fast pace adventure. Telyn was a girl with unique abilities and with a very important task. You could feel the steps she made to get to where she was going. Danger lay en route to her destination and death could await her there. I found myself wrapped in the turning of each new page to get more details to further entwine myself.

I have me a ya author to keep on my radar and look for more good things from.… (meer)
