Five Stars
Wonderful plot, characters and story-line.
the story has a sense of âpossibleâ even as itâs wholly fantastical.
Different in pacing than the first in the series, this is Moireadâs story â a dragon shifter with some 300 years behind her, sheâs a member of the MacAlasdair clan, although they are often off on their own adventures, and rarely together. In the 14th century, Scotland and Wales are under near-constant siege from the English, but a small break in hostilities between the Scots and the English has just started with the Treaty of Edinburgh-Northampton after the end of the first war for Scotlandâs independence. No one expects the peace to last, and to that end a Welshman, Madoc of Avandos has come to the MacAlasdairâs to gain their assistance in his quest to visit sites of power and use his skills as a sorcerer to keep the hands of the English from falling too harshly on his people. An alliance of long-standing between the families, and while Madoc believes that his beloved Wales will never be out from under English subjugation, his quest is to do what he can, using all means possible, to mitigate the impact. He requires a bodyguard, and Moiread, being both fierce and at loose ends takes the challenge.
Moiread is wonderful here: their story takes place almost entirely on the road as she is supporting, protecting and enjoying her time with Madoc. Heâs not overtly rebellious, and doesnât have any true date by which his quest must end, but haste in all things â and the two are moving quickly throughout Scotland, Wales and even England as he seeks out sites of power, obtains assent and assistance from various families of power, avoids assassins and slowly comes to find Moiread as wonderful and capable, not to mention intriguing, as he had first thought. For her part, she realizes that Madoc is and must focus on his quest, and everything that she wants from a man â including a lifetime together, has to be put aside until his purpose is fulfilled. Heâs long lived as a sorcerer, but she also knows that she could outlive him by centuries, and we are always wondering if either of those two facts play on her mind even as they find themselves drawn closer together. When you add in their attraction, the fear of assassins, the fact that the MacAlasdairâs are not the only, nor the most powerful dragon clan out there and there are powers that even rival Madocâs own, there are more than a few moments where it looks as if they have no chance to succeed.
Cooper brings the places and tension to the fore in this one, with the romance being secondary for may good and valid reasons, even as their connection and interactions show just how well suited they are.
