Larkspur is a dark fantasy mixed with historical fiction and some pretty awesome characters. Pierre Salvador has just graduated medical school and has returned home for a party in his honor. He has eyes for only one woman, Lady Elizabeth. They dance the night away, and then suddenly Pierre starts to feel ill. Little does anyone know, Pierre has been completing tasks for the lady of death, Mora.This short novel was awesome. It was full of twists and surprises that had me on the edge of my seat. I was a little confused about what was happening at the beginning of the book, but then things sorted themselves out. I was captured by this fantastical world. True to the title, Larkspur was featured throughout the story. Pierre gives Lady Elizabeth purple larkspur signifying first true love. The characters were well thought out and felt real.I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys historical fiction, dark fantasy, and stories with many twists and turns. I am not a historical fiction lover, but I really enjoyed this book.
