Synopsis

Return to the Aurora Award-winning, cozy romantic fantasy Night's Edge series and the rich and atmospheric world of Marrowdell

Spring in Marrowdell is a time to celebrate. Life stirs, the air warms, and Jenn Nalynn and Bannan Larmensu couldn't be happier. But spring is also fraught with change, and nowhere is this truer than the edge, where the Verge, the magical realm of dragons and sei, touches that of snow and roads. The spring equinox marks the final turn before Marrowdell's sun starts to dominate the sky and Jenn, turn-born and sei, feels the pull to cross to the Verge.

Marrowdell's river floods, and Jenn knows she is needed at home, but deep within the Verge a perilous force is calling her away from all she loves. For the house toad's mighty queen has waited for the first equinox with the powers of a turn-born in the edge, and now she is ready to make her move against it.

Caught up in plots they cannot understand, Jenn and Bannan find themselves separated, and to reunite they will have to outsmart the queen herself. But even if they can foil her plan, will Marrowdell still be there when they return?

My goodness, has it really been 5 years since our last brief visit to Marrowdell, and a full 10 years since the last full novel (A Play of Shadow)? So indeed it is, but some worlds just stick with you, the magic of their authors effortlessly bridging time and space, and that’s what Julie E. Czerneda......more

3.5 stars, Metaphorosis reviews Summary For decades or more, Marrowdell's house toads have collected white stones to build a throne for their queen. Now, at last, she's making her presence felt. And she's angry. Review I didn’t feel as drawn into this book as I did the preceding ones. Partly, there’s......more

Goodreads review by C Jon on April 18, 2025

Ancestors exhumed and exorcised! I gotta say I dont want to be buried in Marrowdell because ancestors never get any rest! 😂 I do prefer scifi over fantasy but an occasional fantasy book will peak my interest and Ms. Czerneda never disappoints with either genre. Her tales start slow, introducing conce......more

Goodreads review by Josh on October 04, 2024

Intricate characters, interesting magical beings, a well-considered expansion of a wondrous setting, and magic rich and varied. I don't know if this will be the conclusion of takes of these folks, but if it were it is a satisfying stopping place. Do read the other Night's Edge books, first, because t......more
