Customer Reviews
love the continuing thread: four young highlanders were cursed by a gypsy
I’ve read each of the books in the series, and love the continuing thread: four young highlanders were cursed by a gypsy after a love affair gone wrong. Stefan was, for me, the most difficult character to empathize with: although he was cursed while being in the wrong place at the wrong time, his own personal demons kept him dancing on the edge of near animalistic uncontrolled rage.
Cursed to two hundred years of darkness, he suddenly finds himself freed of the prison of nothingness, but his determination to avenge his friends is overwhelming any control that he may have over his rage. Until Morvan.
A child of the woods, clanless and alone, Morvan lives in an isolated cabin that is close to the edge of the clan’s lands. Mostly left to her own devices, Morvan is a gifted healer, using her calming nature and skills on wounded and maimed animals, and any humans who come for aid.
Morvan’s calm and protective nature works wonders on Stefan, even as he is locked in his rage, her touch and scent calm him. Fearing another war between the clans, Stefan takes Morvan to a nearby castle, pushing her to seek refuge within the gates as he heads out to find his friends.
Fortunately for Stefan, he can’t seem to make himself leave in search of his friends, or vengeance for them. For Morvan is being cared for by Leana and Meg, wives of his friends Morcant and Ronan. Another lovely installment in this series, I can’t wait to find out just how Danan’s story brings the series to a close.
I received an eArc copy of the title from the author for purpose of honest review for The Jeep Diva. I was not compensated for this review: all conclusions are my own responsibility.
