Larkspur: A Necromancer’s Romance by V.M. JaskierniaLarkspur Series Volume 1; ClandestinaPierre Salvador, duc de Piques is the son of a Fae. He was left with the royal family when his father and sister returned to their own plane. He is practicing in the dark magics, and becoming stronger at it. When he returns home after finishing his schooling, a ball is thrown in his honor of his twenty-fourth birthday. Pierre is surprised that an old childhood friend arrives, and he finds the fondness he had for her many years ago, is still there.Lady Elizabeth Anne, Lizzy as Pierre affectionately calls her, is pleased to see her old friend. When he falls ill at the ball, she stays in Clandestina to help him, rather than returning home with her mother. She knows a thing or two about magic and necrocraeft, although she doesn’t seem to know how deeply Pierre is involved in it.This book is the first volume in the series and it does end with the reader knowing more will come, maybe a tiny cliffhanger, not too bad. This story is fantasy romance with a bit of a dark side. Pierre is a duc and about to learn to run a duchy, but the magics seems to be his first love. Once the story gets past the first introductions it flowed very easily. This was not my usual type of story and I was surprised to find that I did enjoy it and wasn’t ready for it to end. I’ll be looking forward to Volume 2, Delphinium.**Received book from author for a fair and honest review
