He and his growing family had just moved into a new home and hired on new staff for day-to-day matters. All he wanted to do was craft and love his wives, and it seemed like the peaceful life he hoped for might be within his reach. Denmur and Lord Sharpeyes would not let that happen. Using their connections, they put into motion a chain of events that would reverberate across the city of Hearthglen. Sean was called to attend the Lordâs partyâ he came, bringing all of his family and friends with him. Both sides were surprised by events as they unfolded, and it quickly became apparent that conflict would not be denied. With the Einherjar, a Valkyrie, and an old foe, Velin Dykstra, backing them up, Evan Sharpeyes and Klein Denmur challenged Sean to trial by combat. Exhausted and with depleted energy, Sean still led his wives onto the field of battle. The fight was bloody and taxing, but in the end, Sean struck down Evan Sharpeyes before collapsing. With his eyesight fading, Sean looked at his wives, but only saw a few female-like figures rushing toward him. The last sound he heard was a great many wings converging on him, and his mind drifted to thoughts of Morrigan... Word of Seanâs victory spread throughout the city, but none could say whether he had survived to enjoy it.

She's a classic TV show leadâbut this show's just starting. Adult orphans should qualify as too old to be cast as the leading lady who has all the problems, but Daphne Sax has no such luck. At twenty-five, she thought sheâd lived through lifeâs hardest moments. Expecting nothing more than to live out the rest of her days running her family Christmas tree farm with her polar bear sized dog, and never knowing the pain of running out of PopTarts, one glimpse at a castle in the middle of her little farm town has all those expectations going up in flames. King Arthur and the wizard Merlin? Turns out theyâre not just characters on a BBC TV showâtheyâre real, and Daphne has the luxury of following in their footsteps. Unfortunately for her and her dream of normalcy, those footsteps lead to danger and questions, the answers steeped in shadows. Her enemies lurk in darkness and mystery shrouds not only their identities but their goals, leaving her and her new friends seemingly always two steps behind. Though grief has again come knocking on her doorâdanger breaking through her windows and bringing magic along with itâsheâs not fighting any of it alone. At least not if a certain broody bodyguard with startling green eyes and a cheeky young warrior with a ready smile have anything to say about it. With shoulders aplenty to lean on and people in her corner, Daphne wonât be kept down this time, because now she has something she hasnât had in a whileâa family to fight for. It's certain to be a banner year for Daphne, but whether itâs a banner of victory, or a white flag of defeat remains to be seen. Legends of Avalon is clean adult trilogy, with exciting adventure and simmering romance that are neither graphic nor spicy. |
