Review Summaries
"Ancient, magical forces swirl silver and black as darkness falls upon the world of Atheos. Landon Jakes has lost so much. His homelands are overrun with an evil that wields the mysterious, magical force of Onyxdrop. He cannot forget his wife, Coren, whom he lost so long ago. He cannot stop loving her, either. Yul Eliost has the gift of rune magic and is a soldier for the Silver Crescent of Rhuhuell. Dispatched with a patrol across a mountain range called The Roughs, he could never have expected what he finds on his mission there. Rachel Doene is torn between two loves: her fiancé and her magic. And then, a third love unexpectedly enters her life."
David T. Koonce, Resident David T. Koonce Scholar
