"Terrific romantic fantasy"
In San Francisco, D'Anu Coven witch Silver Ashcroft works
with Paranormal Special Forces to stop practitioners who
use illegal rituals like sacrifice. The current case
involves the Balorite clan use of blood magic. Silver knows
she risks her soul as she ventures into the grey realm to
defeat the Balorites and their evil minion while praying
she has not take that irreversible last step. At the latest crime scene, Tuatha D'Danann warrior Hawk
mentally informs Silver he will help rescue the child
intended by the Balorites as a sacrificial lamb while
telling her to stop their warlock. However, having crossed
into the grey, she is seduced by the warlock Darkwolf to
cross into his darkness. Tuatha warns Silver that Darkwolf
wants her; he fails to tell her that he wants her too, but
explains that Balor, the God of Death expects his followers
to bring back the Sea Gods in a war against humans and
elves. She must go against her clan and bring the D'Danann
from the Otherworld or existence will end. Silver has much
on her mind including two males that she desires and a
world at stake if she steps wrongly. This terrific romantic fantasy with police procedural
elements grasps the audience from the moment that Silver
meets Tuatha and Darkwolf and never slows down until the
final twist of their triangle. "Matchmaking" from the Gods,
elves, and magical practitioners from across the spectrum
augment a good vs. evil end of the world battle in which
the white witches must reconsider their means if they are
to win with some of the D'Anu clan insisting that the price
is the same as the end of the world. Fans will take great
and immense pleasure with this strong thriller that both
genres will treasure.
