Princess Merry and her harem of Fey men have managed to revive her dreaded aunt's lands with the magic their passion evokes. Yet, when the wild magic is unleashed, even the one who called it, albeit unwittingly, may be asked to pay a price and suffer loss because of it. So it is for Merry and her guys; while restoring a dead garden to life, they are swept away to the lands in between, to the world of the Sluagh where Sholto rules. The only thing that might save them is his desire for the princess, but if her love reshapes him as it has all she has touched before, will he still be able to hold the throne? What might the price of that alliance be? Though initially there are some scenes that gently minded readers will want to skim over, once you are past the graphic part, the story is compelling, drawing you into the Fairy lands as Merry and her men are drawn into a new world. You want to know more, as each chapter ends on a cliffhanger that you just have to dive into. |
