Bryanna learned early on not to talk about the people she could see–peole that were somehow invisible to everyone else. That didn’t remotely prepare her for conversations with the dead. Well, not all of the dead, mainly just Isa. Isa, the nursemaid, who had cared for her, essentially raised her, secretly taught her the ways of the old ones, and died in her arms. Dead, but obviously not gone. She spoke to Bryanna almost immediately after her death, gave her a mission that makes no sense, led her to a map she can’t read, and sent her on a perilous journey, alone.
In this romance fantasy, while Bryanna runs blindly toward the unknown, Gavyn runs blindly away from his past–from his various crimes and the father who never wanted him. They are bound to encounter each other. Fated to be a part of each other’s quest. Drawn together, but mistrustful of themselves and each other.
They are being stalked by three separate groups and the gathering darkness of evil. Unaware of the specific threat and haunted by urgency, Bryanna and Gavyn travel throughout ancient Wales. Searching for answers, attempting to fulfill an unexplained destiny, not knowing whom to trust, and trying to keep their own thoughts from drifting constantly toward each other.
Straddling the line between romance and fantasy, Lisa Jackson weaves a marvelous tale. You worry for these characters, feel their frustration, share their rising sense of urgency and danger, grow closer to them as they grow closer to each other.
Armchair Interviews says: The final book in a trilogy, Sorceress easily stands alone.
