Darkness covers the north, since the black mage has begun his assault on the kingdom of Neroche. Legend has it that only the two magical swords held by Neroche's king can defeat the mage. Now the fate of the Nine Kingdoms rests in the hands of a woman destined to wield one of those blades...Morgan is a practical woman with no use for magic. Yet she feels compelled to offer her sword to the sorcerer king of Neroche. Her fateful decision will lead her to a magical destiny...and a man whose love will change her life forever.
The King
Adhémar of Neroche's connection to the magic of the land is fading. Helpless to defend his country against the black mage's forces, his only hope is to travel in disguise, searching for the one who was foretold to bring victory.The Mage
Miach, the archmage of Neroche, is Adhémar's youngest brother -- and duty bound to aid his king. Though they find what they seek, Miach will lose his heart in a way he never could have foreseen.
In this land of dragons and mages, warrior maids and magical swords, nothing is as it seems. And Morgan will find that the magic in her blood brings her troubles she cannot face with a sword --and a love more powerful than she has ever imagined.
I LOVED this book! It was so much fun to read, and such an interesting story. I haven't read much in the fantasy genre, so this was a new and refreshing experience for me. Miach and Morgan are incredible characters, and their journey together, along with Adhémar and Morgan's gang of friends, was exciting. I loved their playfulness towards each other, and the fact that Morgan lightened up when Miach was around. The blossoming romance between them was sweet (and clean), and I look forward to reading more about their adventures together in the next two books in the series (the second is in transit to the library, but the third I'll have to buy, since the library doesn't have a copy. I don't mind, though, since I'll end up buying them all eventually anyway.)
5/5
