"Romantic fantasy at its very best"
Monsters from the Dark were getting through holes created
when segments of the magic fenceposts died; the people of
Lladrana did not know how to repair the damage or recharge
the magic until the Exotique Alexa from Earth figured it
out and destroyed the monsters in the latest battle.
Unfortunately one of the monsters, a sangvile, escaped and
killed the parents of the sorcerer circlet Jaquar. The Sorcerers summon a new Exotique and Jaquar plans to use
her to travel the planes and kill the malevolent maw
spawning new monsters. Marian is conducting a Wiccan ritual
when she is thrust threw the dimensional portal and ends up
in Lladrana where she is first trained by the master
sorcerer circlet and later by Jaquar himself. As he gets to
know Marian, he abandons his plans because he does not went
to send the woman he loves into danger that probably means
her death. Although Marian wants to stay in Lladrana she
has a brother that she loves very much on Earth that she
can't abandon and a betrayal by people she has come to
trust makes her doubt her feelings about those she came to
save. One of the great things about Robin D. Owens' ongoing Luna
series is that each book can stand alone yet there remains
continuity through the return of heroes and champions from
the previous tale. This sword and sorcery fantasy, complete
with Pegasus and a sentient hamster, and an enigmatic fairy
is so fascinating that readers find themselves caught up in
in the magic of reading. SORCERESS OF FAITH is romantic
fantasy at its very best.
