Publisher Description
“The best book I’ve read in years.”
—Christine Feehan
The incomparable C.L. Wilson brings her phenomenal Tairen Soul novels to Avon Books! Lord of the Fading Lands is the first book in the epic romantic adventure that combines sweeping fantasy with breathtaking paranormal romance. USA Today and New York Times bestseller C. L. Wilson dazzles with a magnificent, heart-soaring tale of passion and great destiny—of the tormented Fey King Rain, the woodcutter’s daughter Ellysetta, who would be queen, and their eternal quest for true love in the mystical Fading Lands.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
This fantasy-romance debut features faerie king Rain Tairen Soul, a man tormented by age-old grief: a thousand years ago, the woman he loved was slain in battle, and in his rage he laid waste to half the world. Now his people are dying out and the evil mages of Eld are rising again. When Rain hears the call of his lost soul mate, Ellysetta, he journeys to the neighboring kingdom to find her; when he claims a woodcarver's daughter as his mate, he scandalizes the nobility of her country and rouses the interest of Eld's wicked wizards, who come seeking her in order to get at Rain. The first book in a series, much of this volume is devoted to establishing the characters and their world, at the expense of plot. Though the extended courtship between Rain and Ellysetta can grow tedious, the story moves well enough to hold readers' interest and draw them into the sequel (due in November), which should advance the plot significantly. A promising start, this series should have great appeal for fans of fantasy and will likely reward romance readers for whom patience is not a problem.
Customer Reviews
A lovely fantastical intriguing read
There were plenty of ups and downs in this story, i do wish that each time it switched to another’s pov it was named or noted, it’s fairly easy to understand once into the new paragraph but I wouldn’t mind more of a distinction between the different peoples. I saw a review about the assault she experienced, in my opinion as a fearful inexperienced unguarded young woman she did the best she could even with freezing in the moment. I appreciated the giddy moments and truthfully I was on the edge of my seat fairly often. I can’t wait to move forward to the next in the series.
My Favorite Fae Fantasy!
