Destiny weaves a wicked web, a dangerous mixture of deceitful lies and hidden truths in this thrilling tale by new author Jolie Mathis. Trapped in shades of thick grey, the characters in ?The Sea King? have a lifetime of betrayal to overcome. One tale of love shall endure, the obstacles in its path mere hindrances compared to the depth of feeling that abounds from our hero and heroine. Kol Thorleksson, Viking conqueror, came once to the lands of Norsex and was condemned a villain. The beguiling girl he saved was indeed his downfall, yet he could not doubt her courage when she in turn freed him from his prison. Two years later, he clings still to the image of the girl that freed him as he ravages the land of the king that tried to end his life. That girl, now a woman, was the Princess Isabel. She is torn by this man, this angel savior whose memory she grasped like a lifeline. Something evil happened to her the day that angel rescued her, but is he the man responsible for her ruin? How can he be when her heart beats for his touch? As danger and false allies appear from every aspect of her life, will Isabel and Kol live long enough to come to terms with their scars? Only a reckoning can untwist this sordid skein of treachery, and that reckoning will shake everything Isabel has ever known. The level of sheer good in this book is astounding. Ms. Mathis is a talented new author that sets a remarkably high standard with this break out romance. Her writing is superb, smooth flowing and uncluttered. Kol and Isabel are a gripping couple, their individual story fascinating to behold. So much lies between them, so much conflict and so much love. Kol is an imposing man, flawed in his own mind and tormented, but strong and sensually dominant as well. Isabel was a wonderful heroine; bold, calm in the midst of tragedy and fair of heart. She is a true leader. Many secondary characters add to the ever-heightening sense that all is not right in the kingdom of Norsex, especially with its nobles. Many plot twists kept me on my toes, breathless to discover the real traitor. More please Ms. Mathis! I?m ready to go a-Viking again! K. Montgomery Official Reviewer for The Mystic castle

Oh, To Fall In Love With The King Of The Sea Love at first sight is what I felt for Kol, in the The Sea King, by Jolie Mathis. The tall, dark and ruggedly handsome king had been wronged since birth, but he did not allow the evil transgressions of others to consume his soul, although it fueled his warrior?s spirit and cast a dark pall over his destiny. Kol?s heart, however, was fated to be rescued and then captured by a beautiful princess, who had been wronged by those closest to her, too. Her gain is my loss... Caught up in waves of distrust, hatred and dark deeds, Kol and Isabel must fight the undertow dragging them towards death and break free from those who would seek to drown them in lies, torture and the weight of a traitor?s sins. Caught up in the innocence of forgetfulness and power of love at first sight, The Sea King will take you on a tumultuous ride, where the final destination is never clear, the characters are cleverly cloaked and complex, and the love between two pure hearts strives to beat the odds and live long enough to see the light of day. Mathis weaves an intriguing tale that takes you on an intense journey, where each page reveals a new twist, turn or truth to this wonderful story. You will fall in love with the man that Kol is but, like me, you will come to understand that Isabel deserves such a passionate and powerful soul mate for risking all and losing so much for the good of others.
