"Exciting romantic fantasy"
In the town of Alastair, Tiarra Loble has been brought up
on stories about her father and brother, Tahn Dorn, who
helped his father kill their mother before the father was
killed and her son scarred by burning hot water tossed on
him by villagers before he escaped with his uncle. The
truth is he was taken when he was four years old and his
mentor was an evil sadistic monster who beat him and
brought young orphans into his criminal organization. After
saving Lord Trilet's family from a nobleman's envy, Tahn
broke free of his master and took the children to the
estate of the nobleman he saved and where he became the
chief guardsmen. Although he is treated as a son by Lord Trilet and everyone
expects him to marry Netta the daughter of the house, Tahn
needs to go back to Alastair to see if he can find out the
truth about his past. The townsfolk revile him, especially
his sister, calling him a killer as he goes about asking
questions. The bandit leader he once knew wants him dead as
Tahn embarrassed him and Lord Trent wants him and his
sister dead because they have a very real claim to his
title, wealth and estates. Tahn is content to leave his
fate in God's hand. RETURN TO ALASTAIR is an exciting romantic fantasy with a
protagonist that is easy to love as he proves that evil has
no power over goodness once one chooses to accept
salvation. As he suffered untold cruelties as a child, a
teen and an adult Tahn has the faith that leads him to
leave the dark path to that of purity and decency. There is
so much action and fantastic character development that
readers will hope for a future RETURN TO ALASTAIR. Reviewed by Harriet Klausner
