I could easily read a whole, full-length novel about Lodírhal and Dasyra. This didn’t feel like a prequel, or a sequel, but its own thing. But I’m not here to review that trilogy, just this book. He’s not painted in the best of lights in the series – but Soran is definitely biased in his feelings towards the king. This short fantasy romance gives you the backstory of King Lodírhal – who is mentioned quite often in the trilogy but doesn’t appear right away. You can check out my reviews for books 1 & 2 of that trilogy – Thief and Prisoner (review for book 3 Wraith coming soon!) I had no idea going in, that her short fantasy romance was going to tie into the Scarred Mage of Roseward trilogy – and I loved it. So, when I saw that she was going to a part of this series, I got really excited. I started reading Sylvia’s books last year, and I haven’t stopped.

Now all that matters is breaking the bond before it can be sealed for eternity.Ĭan these mortal enemies work together and survive the perilous journey to the Sundering Place? Or are the demands of fate-and the desires awakening in both their reluctant hearts-too powerful to be thwarted? and the moment they lock eyes, the Fatebond awakens. For they are fated by the gods to be each other’s True Love. Mage Dasyra also has no choice-she must serve her masters and channel the powerful magic in her soul for a chance to stop the deadly fae king.īut when they meet on the battlefield, these two adversaries discover they have bigger problems in store. King Lodírhal has no choice-he must battle the human champion in single combat and save his people from slaughter.
