Anne Elisabeth Stengl
weaves a tale of love, sacrifice, courage, despair, darkness, hope, and
triumph. Readers will be surprised by the vast and
bizarre array of the denizens of the Wood, but even more so, by the way Time is
handled.
By her father's wish, Lady Daylily is betrothed to the Prince of Southlands. Not the prince she loves, handsome and dispossessed Lionheart, but his cousin, the awkward and foolish Prince Foxbrush. As her wedding day dawns, Daylily flees into the dangerous Wilderlands, and her only desire is to vanish from living memory.
But Foxbrush, determined to rescue
his betrothed, pursues Daylily into a new world of magic and peril, a world
where vicious Faerie beasts hold sway, a world invaded by a lethal parasite and
many other dangers.
This is my first
story by this author I agree with other reviewers that you must read the series
in order. Although interesting, it took me about half way to get the characters
and story straight to make some sort of sense.
The heroes and
villains in Shadow Hand are a complicated story, one that is as old as time itself.
That our true selves are most free in service To the One who names us; that
even the part of us we most fear can be transformed by our Prince into
something beautiful. If you really are into Sci-Fi, I believe you would
like this story, if read from the beginning of the series.
