Synopsis: The sorcerer beckoned to her from a land of ice and snow and, stricken by the death of her husband and the loss of the lands they had ruled together, she followed his call. He led her to a world ruled by wizards who played a deadly game of court intrigue, with a kingdom as the prize. He brought her to their court wrapped in the protection of his sorceries -- and then he died. And she was left in the center of the game, with no knowledge of the rules or the players, no way of knowing who played with White magic, and who played with Black...
Review: A very nice and short fantasy story, complete with princes and wizards and demons. Impossible to put down in some places, this story tells a harrowing tale of a woman torn from her home and her time to try to save a prince from death. She pays a heavier price than she ever thought possible to give herself a chance at life.
I'd have given this book a higher rating if there weren't quite so much sappy romance in what was otherwise a very solid fantasy tale. I really like this author and only have one more of her stories left to read. I have to find more of her novels. Time to discover what other books she's written and get copies!!
Rating: 7.5 / 10
