Reviews-
July 30, 2007 The final installment in Jackson's medieval trilogy (after Impostress and Temptress ) finds a witch and a warrior drawn together for the battle of their lives. In 13th-century northern Wales, a man named Gavyn is on the run from his own father after killing, in self-defense, the ruthless sheriff of Agendor. Meanwhile, a sorceress named Bryanna is leaving her home in the south of Wales, traveling north at the beckoning of a powerful vision and hoping to gather the four jewels that haunt her dreams. When Gavyn and Bryanna meet by chance, their banter is touched by humor and sexual longing, and it isn't long before an ethereal episode of lovemaking binds them together and their dangerous journeys become one. Trying to stay a step ahead of Gavyn's father and the man who murdered Bryanna's mother, their quest for the jewels makes a tense, fast-paced adventure complete with paranormal beings and mystical powers. This fine finale combines romance, suspense and mysticism to make a top-notch read.
October 1, 2007 In thirteenth-century Wales, 16-year-old Bryanna, suffering from a crush on her sister Morwennas husband (their story was told in Temptress, 2005), leaves Castle Calonon a quest instigatedby her late nursemaid, Isa. Isa had always claimed that Bryanna had the sight. Now Bryanna has strange visions, dreams, and conversations withIsa, who has left her a portion of a map and a tarnished knife with missingjewels. Gavyn, the bastard son of a lord, is on the run from his fathers men on his fathers most prized horse. After the two join forces on an adventure that will take them to the farthest corners of Wales in search of the missing gems and the rest of the map, they are joined by a mysterious wolf. Meanwhile, an evil ex-priest consorts with a strange being as he tries to find Bryanna.
