"Exciting romantic fantasy"
In Imperia, the Priestess of Druinn Zirra demands that
mortal warrior Tristan ar Malik binds with her or else; he
refuses and insists he must leave because the Great Lord
Challann wants to discuss the rebellion in Gillorad. Angry,
Zirra breaks the alliance between sorcerers and humans by
casting a spell on Tristan that makes him her PLEASURE
SLAVE living inside a jewelry box unless she calls him.
Only true love can break the spell. Fifteen earth centuries later in Santa Fe, antiquities
dealer Julia "Jules" Anderson purchases a jewelry box at
Kreuger Flea Market. When she opens the small box Tristan
appears in her kitchen. To his shock she rejects his offer
to pleasure her though he feels she wants him. As they
begin to fall in love, Tristan becomes concerned that Zirra
will learn the truth and kill his beloved even if they are
light years away thanks to a second curse by the High
Priest to hide the breaking of the alliance pact. He would
prefer slavery especially to his "Little Dragon" than
freedom and death for her. This exciting romantic fantasy with some science fiction
elements especially when the reader visits Imperia is a
terrific tale that sub-genre fans will appreciate. Tristan
is a delightful hero struggling with the first person to
not want him as a slave; his Jules displays the HEART OF A
DRAGON (coming soon) as she courageously desires the best
for her recent off the wall purchase, although she wants
him just more than just self- indulgence. With this tale
and the charming THE STONE PRINCE, Gena Showalter is
gaining the reputation of a master wizard who enchants her
readers. Reviewed by Harriet Klausner
