Description

He left to save her from herself… But who will save him from her?

When Lady Seliah Phel wakes from a drugged sleep to find herself abandoned by her newly bonded wizard, she vows revenge—and to hunt him down. Tracking him through the familiar wilds of the marshlands of her home is the easy part; learning to use her nascent magical skills is something else entirely. So is facing the vast, uncaring society of the Convocation in a time of brewing war.

Jadren El-Adrel is not known for doing the right thing, but getting as far away from Seliah as possible before he drains her dry will be his one noble gesture. So what if she weeps a few tears. Better than her dying in his service—or enabling him to become the ravenous beast that crawls beneath his skin. Unfortunately, in his self-imposed exile, and without the power of his familiar, Jadren quickly runs afoul of the enemy.

As her vengeful quest for recapture becomes a rescue mission, Selly faces all she still doesn’t know about the greater world of wizards and familiars. And Jadren, once determined to walk his own path and stay far, far away from the idealistic fools of House Phel, finds himself aligning with them against the house of his birth. War is coming to the Convocation, which means a clever wizard should pick the side most likely to win.

Sadly, Jadren has never been all that clever…

Reviews

"This story is very human and touching about two broken people finding their way out of trauma together. I also appreciate the overarching themes of the whole series of -different doesn’t equal bad and standing up for injustices (no matter how culturally rooted) is always critical." ~ Sparklezilla on Amazon

"Snarky and satirical heroes have always been my weakness. Now add in the wounded/tortured aspect… This book made me fall for Jadren all over again! I am glad that he never lost his sardonic edge in this story. Sometimes authors downplay such characters’ personalities in further books. It disappoints me when they do that. Thankfully, Jeffe Kennedy did not do this to Jadren. He is the same cynically warped and sarcastic wizard I came to love and adore! Jadren also shows some remarkable personal growth in this adventure. He is finally ready to learn more about himself and his capabilities." ~Raonaid Luckwell on Amazon

"The romance radiated off the pages. Those scenes in the shack were just *glorious.* Overall I had a great time and can’t wait for more books in this fantastic series!!" ~ Renee on Goodreads

"5+ stars from me for my favorite installment in this distinctive and extraordinary fantasy romance series." ~ Monadh on Goodreads

"As far as this book is concerned, I'll just Capt' Obvious it and say, Jeffe Kennedy is good at Fantasy Romance." ~ James McRay on Goodreads
