Oh wow, this was an unexpected find, and loved it!I found this as a "similar to" book, and it sounded vaguely interesting, but oh was it a fast read! I don't think I've read a book this fast for a long time. This is a story about a not quite traditional fantasy world - it actually felt more like ...
Interesting story. I liked the action and the characters, and I even found the odd lusty relationship between Sorcha and Raed kinda interesting for some reason and I don't know why because I hate lusty relationships. O______O; (Sorcha's even cheating on her current hubby!!! Tsk tsk, BAD GURLY. An...

I would have liked to see more of her, to get a better feel for why she was so devout before all the geis...
Not one little bit. She stood with her eye pressed to the peephole and observed the dark corridor with the intensity of an owl waiting for a mouse. Except, she was positive this man was far more dangerous than a mouse. The width of his shoulders leaned toward brawler rather than dandy, while his ...
For three days, Talyn, Ysel, and Finn sat cross-legged by the pool on one of the islands of Elraban and listened to her. At their back, Fida, the Vaerli who had deliberately lost herself, watched with arms crossed. It was like trying to cram too many clothes into too small a saddlebag—at least, t...
Perilous and Fair was a city like no other, a many-walled, many-towered glory on the Umber River, with the distant blue mountains acting as a magnificent backdrop. Its crowning glory was the Caisah's Citadel, which stood at the center of the city. He knew it to be a labyri...
Eriloyn stood in the shadow of the building where he had once apprenticed a blacksmith. The roof, along with the blacksmith, had been destroyed the day of the attack. Coincidentally, that had also been the last time Eriloyn had seen food. He’d always been a tall, strong bo...
but the doors felt as if they were reinforced from the inside. Out of character for a simple warehouse on the banks of the Thames. What lay beyond this barrier, however, was not merely artefacts and trinkets from all over the globe, but more invaluable treasures: secrets. ...
Raed paused as he came up the stairs of the quarterdeck. She had to be aware of his presence, but she did not turn. As he watched, Sorcha flicked the remains of her cigar over the side. “Well, that was the last one of those.” She sighed theatrically. &nbs...
