It's a good read - more like her Exotique Summoning books in overall feeling rather than her Celta Heart books. In this strongly fantasy shaded view of contemporary America - you find that politics [and politicians] are just as self serving, prejudice is alive and well and that 'but what have you done for us lately?' is the order of the day. If this isn't depressing enough, the heroine is still deeply grieving the loss of her entire family while they were helping the powers-that-be accomplish their goals.

Given that start, the mood of the heroine [and the book] can only improve. And you really want it to improve for her - you're out there cheering her every step, urging her to say goodbye to her past and hello to her future. And she does - and finds new friends and old, a new role in the magical realms, and finally accepts her losses and releases her guilt. And, of course, she finds true love...

More books must be planned - nobody does this amount of world building without planning a series.

The Eight, leaders of the Lightfolk, have sent for Jennie Weaver aka Jindesfarne Mistweaver. They want her to intercept a bubble and hone its powers for their good. They were unable to intercept the first one it the Darkfolk were able to harnass that one. They used it to create shadleeches to gnaw on the Lightfolk's magic.

Fifteen years ago the original Eight had sent for the Mistweaver family to open a portal for them. At the last minute they move up the time table and Jennie was too late to save her family, Her brother Rothly is the only sibling to survive but his magic and himself are maimed.

The Eight send her ex-lover Aric Paramon to request her help (half Treefolk and half Elf). They are offering her a Princess title if she completes the task. She and Aric must travel to Yellowstone to intercept this bubble. She finds out that the Eight had previously asked her brother to go on this mission but they had lost contact with him. Jennie makes a deal with them that she will save her brother first and then go after the bubble. Since I don't want to give away the entire book I will just leave it at that...:)

I got so mad at Rothly because even after Jennie retrieves him from the inter-dimension he continues to treat her badly! I just wanted to strangle him!! This book had be bouncing between being mad at Rothly, sad about the loss of Jennie's entire family and her struggle to cope with it and cheering on Jennie and Aric's love. Great read!!

This fantasy book definitely has a darker tone then her Celta stories. I couldn't help pulling for Jenni to get to a happier place in her life, to forgive Aric, and for her to reconcile with her brother Rothly. Eventually she was able to accept and forgive but the trust comes slower. I was glad Jenni was finally comfortable with herself and Aric, that she and Rothly came to an understanding and she was proud of herself, her family and her abilities.
I was hoping the next story would be about Rothly but according to the back of the book it is Amber who was only briefly mentioned as Jenni's neighbor.
