In this second installment of Jeren and Shan’s journey we find them travelling to the camp of Shan’s people, the warriors of the Fey’na. However, along the way they are attacked by the evil cousins to his brethren, the Fell’na. The Fell’na feed off the living, human and Fey alike. They narrowly escape but there is promise that more will follow.
Shan is one of the greatest warriors of the Fey’na and his return home is celebrated but Jeren’s presence is not as she is a human. She’s no ordinary human, though, she is a Scion of Jern gifted with great magic, yet she is also the sister of the tyrant Lord Gilliad whose insane lust for power has terrorized the lands. In fact, that is one of the reasons why Shan has brought her here, to learn from his people how to channel and control the explosive magic within her. The other reason is to claim Jeren as his mate. Their love is firm but the duty they have to each of their own people weighs heavily on them. Enemies surround them in this tale – her brother and his followers, Shan’s jealous Sect Mother, and the dark shadows of the Fell’na.
Author Long has a wonderful gift when it comes to creating the fantasy world and weaving a tale which tests her own characters’ strengths. Shan and Jeren had a lot thrown at them, it almost seems every five pages another conflict was added to the mix. Looking back on it the romance actually sits quietly in the background while the growth of Jeren is very much at the forefront. I look forward to the next chapter in Jeren and Shan’s quest for happiness. ~ Natalie
