Known as "The Lady of the Lakes" Jessarna has many tasks ahead of her. Not the least of which is the recovery of her infant cousin, entrusted to her care and lost to a wicked enemy. Although she has not the time nor inclination to take on a liegeman she acknowledges a debt to Corryn and agrees to allow him to accompany her so that she may teach him and absolve her duty for his assistance.
Together Corryn and the Lady undertake a quest to find both an infant and a deadly traitor, never expecting where the road ahead might lead them.
Although we are only into February, I think that this book might find a place among my favorites of the year. Certainly it is my favorite read so far this year. I really liked Corryn a lot. He certainly wasn't perfect, which I rather like, but he was earnest and brave, totally dedicated to his Lady. Jess seemed a lot like a hedgehog, all prickly on the surface, but pretty soft and warm underneath. They were both very sympathetic characters. The plot moved along nicely and although there is a rather large host of supporting characters, for the most part I was able to keep them all straight, which is an accomplishment for me LOL! The only point I can really say was a little off putting was a typesetting error, an underline that kept appearing throughout the text. But, it certainly wasn't enough to keep me from really enjoying this story. I think that those who like the quest style fantasy stories, without their being overly epic, will really enjoy this book.… (more)
