Synopsis

With the leading clan bitterly split and the court torn apart, only fierce, half-human Rhiannon and her winged mare have any chance of rescuing Princess Olwynne and her twin brother. But what duty requires, the heart may regret.An evil necromancer has kidnapped the royal twins, plotting to spill their blood—for revenge, and to restore his own family to life. Chaos reigns in the capital, and Rhiannon finds herself burdened with a heavy charge: to save the one woman she hates above all others. It will not be easy to forgive or forget that Olwynne attempted to steal Rhiannon’s true love, the handsome apprentice-witch Lewen—especially when it seems that Olwynne would still be her rival for his affections. And as the necromancer’s intrigues grow more desperate, Rhiannon fears that saving the princess could mean risking everything—Lewen, her mare, her freedom, even her own life.

Goodreads review by Elizabeth on August 08, 2011

Finally got around to reading this book after buying it right when it came out in the US. Not because I hate the story or the author (because I LOVE them both) but because I find the main character annoying. It was so nice to see all my favorite characters again: Isabeau, Dide, Finn the Cat, that I......more

Goodreads review by paeonia on June 22, 2015

What is the point of creating a strong female character - and in naming the series after her - if she is has to wait passively to be rescued by her lover in the end? Very disappointing. I won't even go into all the inconsistencies in plot. A weak ending to a series that started strongly.......more

Goodreads review by Vickey on February 07, 2017

So much action and adventure! This was a real page turner with complicated plotting and all intrigues resolved. Some problems with boring writing where exciting things are described in annoying way.
