Perfect for fans of Christine Feehan’s Carpathian series and G.A. Aiken’s The Blacksmith Queen, New York Times bestselling author Kerrelyn Sparks combines humor, action, and love in the electrifying new book in her thrilling fantasy series.
Four sisters have become queens, rulers of all that Aerthlan’s two moons embrace. The last sister will forge her own path . . .
Signs and Seals
Raised on the magic-seeped Isle of Moon, Maeve is used to unusual powers—and the way they fuel the politics of her world. But when she discovers an ability to shape-shift at will, she knows who she wants to share it with first. Brody, the enigmatic, infuriating shifter-spy has always made time for Maeve. But it’s been almost two months since she’s seen him. And though no one else believes Brody is in danger, Maeve is more than ready to rescue him herself.
The rumors Brody’s investigating are terrifying: a secret army of magic-users, in the service of the cruel Circle of Five. But when he uncovers the identity of one of the Five, the mission becomes personal. Cursed as a boy by the Sea Witch, Brody can spend only two hours a day in his human form, a restriction that limits his future and muzzles his heart. Plus Maeve teases him for being such a pretty doggy instead of appreciating his manly charms. To win his freedom, he must take on a terrible disguise. And when Maeve finds out, she’ll unleash a tempest like no other . . .
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Sparks concludes her Embraced by Magic series (after How to Love Your Elf) with a tidy if uninspired fifth volume focused on stubborn selkie Maeve, the last of the five Embraced sisters to fulfill her destiny and find true love. While Maeve's sisters now all queens of the lands of Aerthlan focus on their spouses and families, 20-year-old Maeve embarks on a quest to the island kingdom of Moon and Mist. She hopes to reunite with fellow shape-shifter and love interest Brody who, due to a curse, can only maintain his human form for two hours each day and to investigate rumors of a magical army being raised by the remaining members of the mysterious and deadly Circle of Five. A visit to the Seer, the hermetic old man who raised Brody, offers new insights into the players in the struggle for power over Aerthlan. Brody and Maeve spend too much time separated tying up the series' loose ends to convince readers of their compatibility. This indifferent love story is best suited for series completists.
