Synopses & Reviews

Review:

"The richly imagined third volume of Wilson's bestselling fantasy romance series (after 2007's Lady of Light and Shadows) draws the reader into a complex web of ancient magics and looming war surrounding a central mystery: why are the kitlings of the powerful Tairen, magical winged catlike beings, dying before they hatch? Ellysetta Baristani, a woodcarver's daughter with unexplained magical gifts, must find the solution with the aid of her recently discovered truemate, Rain Tairen Soul, the Fey king tormented by his past misdeeds. Wilson peels back layers of secrets surrounding the evil mages of Eld and their schemes to destroy the Tairen and the Fey, but the revelations never overwhelm the emotional intensity of Ellysetta and Rain's developing relationship or diminish the textured beauty of the writing. An exciting climax will leave fans hungry for more." Publishers Weekly (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)

Synopsis:

Wilson delivers the third stunning novel in her "New York Times"-bestselling Tairen Soul saga. In this installment, Rain and Ellie return to the Fading Lands to save the dying Tairen and to consummate their love. Original.

It's really a shame that these books are classified as Romance, because I feel they would appeal to a much larger audience were they not. Cheryl Wilson has crafted a marvelous fantasy world complete with all the elements including a language for her Fey. Her characters are complex and her pacing is some of the best I've seen. Yes, there are romantic elements, but they are not gratuitous at all and add to the complexity of her story. I found myself many a night staying up to read far later than I should have because I just couldn't put it away. My only complaint is Book 3 ends on such a cliff-hanger I will surely perish waiting until June to get the next installment! (Like that is a complaint, ha ha ha!)

If you have shied away from this series because of the classification, don't! Lord of the Fading Lands, Lady of Light and Shadow, King of Sword and Sky and Queen of Song and Souls belong in Fantasy Realm Royalty.

Beylah vo, Cheryl!

Having received an advanced copy of the book, I read it within days and greatly enjoyed this wonderful follow-up to the first two books in the Tairen series.

I highly recommend this book to everyone who enjoys fantasy, romance, and a blend of the two.
