Publisher Comments:

Inherited from an otherworldly father, enchanted blood flows through Donal Fleming's veins. Yet though his empathic ability for all creatures gives purpose to his calling as a veterinarian, life among his mother's mortal kind has left him wary, and he secretly hungers for the freedom to live unrestrained by civilized society. Until Cordelia…

Cordelia Hardcastle has always played by society's rules, confined in a gilded cage of propriety and convention. Until Donal Fleming introduces her to a passion she's never dreamed of, and a world she's never imagined.

But Donal's attraction to the remarkable Cordelia has unleashed his most primal instincts. The time has come for him to challenge his destiny and face the consequences of his impossible choice--between human love and the powers that, to him, are life itself…

Synopsis:

Return to a world of magic and mystery in this captivating sequel to "The Forest Lord." Donal Fleming, son of an otherworldly father and a mortal mother, finds that Cordelia Hardcastle unleashes his most primal instincts, forcing him to chose between human love and the powers that are life itself to him. Original.

Donal Fleming is only half-human and prefers using his Fane powers to converse with animals than deal with his mother's race. He is quite happy to be a scruffy country veterinarian with a hoard of rescued critters. Even when he rescues an orphaned girl from the street in an effort to find her a better home, he keeps her at arm's length.

Cordelia Hardcastle is a widow struggling to manage her harsh, invalid father's estate while haunted by her painful childhood and dodging suitors who want the land and expect her to be desperate. She keeps herself under tight control at all times.

The two meet in less than civil circles and neither quite likes or trusts the other, but Cordelia hires Donal to come to her estate and examine a number of exotic animals and volunteers to take the girl in and try to teach her whet she'll need for a more civilized life. After a while, both start to realize there is more to the other than meets the eye and begin a tentative friendship that quickly becomes something more. Something that threatens to rip down all the barriers they have spent a lifetime putting up.

This book has a surprisingly complex web of character relationships for a romance novel. There are a lot of side characters and subplots that subtly change the main romance. I didn't find the main characters' romance very interesting, so it was nice that there was something else to concentrate on.

I found the writing grating, with a simplistic style and form that meshed badly with the attempt at historical formality of language.
