Back Cover: Through the
Shadowlands: where the touch of silver was protections, power and peril.
Unwillingly entwined . . . There is more danger than usual in the Otherworld of
the Sidhe and the mortal world of the Shadowlands. An unlikely group of
conspirators -- both mortal and Sidhe -- plot to overthrow both thrones. They'd
stolen the silver caul that protected the borders between the realms -- and set
into motion a most perilous war. A blacksmith's daughter, a Sidhe lady, a
mortal queen. Three women stand against the encroaching evil. All they have is
a girl's love for her father, a lady's for her queen -- and a queen's for her
country. Nessa, Delphinea and Cecily are each driven by a personal destiny, yet
share a fierce sense of love, justice and determination to protect what is
theirs. Will the spirit and strength of these women be enough to turn back the
tide of the goblin hordes waiting to overrun the kingdoms? Perhaps. But the
battle must still be fought . . .
This is a complicated story that
follows three different women. Each has a roll to play and not one that they
ever thought of. But they must follow their destiny or the world as they know
it will fall. The idea behind the story is very good but the follow through for
it isn’t great. There are some times that the change from one character to the
other isn’t very smooth. And I didn’t feel a great connection between the
characters. I didn’t like this story very much.
