"Four hundred years ago, Immortal Warlock Aden Dragunis defied his elders and married a mortal without magical potential. On his first wedding anniversary he crafted his Beloved a magical silver rose which bloomed only for her. When she and his mortal children died one by one, he buried his heart with them and vowed never to love again. Sent by the Supreme Coven, Marylebone, to ensure the mortal witch Rosa Greenwood meets her fate as the Bells of Marylebone have decreed, Aden's vow begins to unravel when he discovers Rosa in possession of the silver rose. Rosa risks being consumed by her own power. She must bind her magic with her destined mate within one calendar month, or surrender her magic forever. If she fails to do either, Marylebone's Dragons will hunt her down, burn her magic from her, and she will die. Convincing Aden he is her destined mate is proving to be more difficult than she ever imagined. With time running out the only option left is to sacrifice her magic but she knows she will be a mere shell without a soul if she does. Then she learns Aden, the one who could ultimately save her, is also the one sent to kill her should she fail. Sensuality Level: Sensual."--… (more)

I received an ARC of The Silver Rose in exchange for Review and I'm glad I did. Not only is the cover gorgeous but the story was hard to put down. Author Rowena May O'Sullivan deserves kudos for her world building. Most of the story is physically set in a wind-swept New Zealand small town that is home to three magical sisters. Rose is the oldest and most powerful but she's afraid to tell her sisters she's heard "the Bells." In the mythology O'Sullivan created, this means she has one month to bind her magic with a powerful wizard or else she will either lose her magic or her life. The reluctant hero, Aden, is her equal but hides his power. Will the two find out each other's secrets in time? I'll let you find that out.

I also want to note the loving care taken to describe the silverwork throughout the novel. The sisters are artisans and Aden is a master silversmith. The Silver Rose of the title is so beautifully described, I could almost feel it against my skin. I felt as if I were in the art gallery looking at various pieces. I can't wait to return to the world O'Sullivan created for the next sister's story. ( )
