...Ms. Sams has created strong, loving, selfless characters that simply worm their way into your heart and their love and poignant longing become your own in this powerfully written love story. Ms. Sams also manages to make a social commentary on the error of judging someone simply by virtue of their differences. I will be eagerly awaiting the next book in what I certainly hope is an ongoing series. - Leola for The Eternal Night Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror Web Site
RECOMMENDED READ - Fallen Angel Reviews -
Rating: Five Angels
...Candace Sams has produced a wonderfully textured book with roots in the ancient world of the Druids and the Celts around Britain. Readers will definitely find themselves lost in this story and will find themselves falling for the main character while learning to despise the coldness of the Sorceress. This book has a good fluid pace that speeds up and slows down as required allowing the story to leap off the pages... - Heidi, for Fallen Angel Reviews
