"Fantastic fantasy romance"
Sianna the healer resides on the world of Tareth. Her
father is First Master a position that he has usurped the
power of the king. He plans to rule through his daughter by
having her marry the puppet king's son. Sianna doesn't
know her father because she was sent to the Sisters of the
Light boarding school that teaches a person the art of
healing. One night Katya kidnaps Sianna, bringing her as a
captive to her brother Kyne's castle. Kyne is a rebel leader who plans to use Sianna to bring
hier father down. He despises his prisoner because he
falsely believes Sianna is responsible for having his
brother killed. Sianna insinuates herself into the working
of the castle, saving lives and making it run smoothly.
The more Kyne observes her, the more he realizes that she
is innocent. He begins to have feelings for her but tries
to contain them because the blood of her father flows in
her veins. It takes a near tragedy for Kyne to realize
that love is more important than revenge. Fans of sword and sorcery romances will want to read
CRYSTAL MOON, a novel that takes place in a world much like
Earth's medieval England. The characters are three-
dimensional and endearing and the action packed story line
enthralls the audience with its exciting and unexpected
twists and turns. Elysa Hendricks uses words to make a
whole planet come alive in the reader's imagination. Harriet Klausner

a rebellion. When Sianna DiSanti is called home from the
semi-religious order where her father has hidden her since
birth, she is eager to know her estranged father and become
part of a loving family. His plan to use her as a marriage
pawn in his quest for power devastates her. While seeking
comfort in the garden, she is mistaken for her half-sister
and abducted by her father's enemies. Kyne Cathor lusts for vengeance against DiSanti, the man
who murdered his brother and threw Dramon into turmoil. To
draw DiSanti into the open and restore the country to
peace, Kyne uses Sianna as bait. Though she proclaims her
innocence, Kyne believes she might be pregnant with his
brother's child. To keep her half-sister safe and protect
herself, Sianna conceals her true identity. Once at the rebel stronghold, Sianna's gentle, innocent,
nature and heroic actions fuel Kyne's growing attraction to
a woman he can never have and puts them both in jeopardy.
