Publisher Description
From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Thea Harrison comes the final story in her spellbinding Moonshadow trilogy…
King Oberon reigned over his Dark Court in Lyonesse for centuries until an assassination attempt laid him low. Now he lies unconscious in his snow-bound palace while his Power battles the enchantment that threatens to end his life.
A skilled trauma surgeon and magic user, Dr. Kathryn Shaw reigns at the top of her profession in New York. Then comes a challenge she can't resist—she is asked to cure the incurable. Just getting close enough to try healing Oberon is a dangerous proposition. When she does reach him, he awakens too soon.
Roused from darkness by Kathryn's presence, Oberon confronts the beautiful stranger who claims she wants to save his life. But the enchantment has frozen his emotions. How can he learn to trust her when he can't feel anything?
Oberon's desire is icy, devoid of all tenderness. Not only must Kathryn match wits with him, she must also fight her reaction to his touch, because there is so much more at stake than her own endangered heart.
For the Dark Court faces its most deadly peril yet. Its ancient enemy Isabeau, Queen of the Light Court, is obsessed with its annihilation, and Oberon must be brought to remember his loyalty and affection for his people.
Because if he won't fight for them, Lyonesse itself may very well be destroyed…
Customer Reviews
Loved it from the very first page!
I absolutely loved this story. I thought I might not like Oberon so much but he's just fantastic! The previous two books of this trilogy have set the overall story up so well that we get to really concentrate on these two characters.
Dr Kathryn Shaw has taken on a massive task and she's proves her worth with every move she makes. Professionally she's at the top of her game and she brings some serious skills to the table. I loved her approach with Oberon. She stood firm and didn't let him railroad her and seemed to be able to get to grips with his personality and steer him into making the right choices.
He's the ultimate alpha male, he's always been a tower of strength to his people so accepting his weaknesses has been a hard pill too swallow. He seems to embrace life when he wakes up and is steadfast in his decisions regarding his own health. I loved how responsive to Kathryn he was even as he was struggling with his emotions. They're a great match both physically and intellectually and it made for some fun scenes and really intense chemistry.
We get to see a little of Puck who I love!
I loved the resolution of the overall story, it's been left neat and tidy yet I think there's lots of characters we would love to see more off.
