Melisse is a dutiful servant who is thrust from her home with a single act of self-defense.  Scared and confused, the young woman is lured into the dark forest by a golden light as smooth and sweet as honey.  But what she finds is a pathway that will take her far from the life she's always known.Marechal de Barristide is a public servant on an important mission at the home of Lord Perene, a local nobleman.  His initial encounter with the servant girl is brief, yet powerful.  Little does he realize that she will send him on a magic-filled journey that conjures up his past.Silas is an innocent young farmer who is entranced by a beautiful runaway hiding in his barn.  Her seduction proves to be destructive, destroying his family's home with an inexplicable fire.  But, Silas is spared by a creature seeking answers about the girl who set his world aflame.This book comes alive with its imagery and magical references.  It is a nice change from the typical erotic fiction.  I am a huge fan of fantasy novels set in the Middle Ages, and enjoyed reading this author's take on the subject.I love characters that become empowered.  Melisse definitely makes a huge change from meek servant girl to something much more.  The erotic scenes are tastefully done with very visual encounters.  I'll definitely have to check out more stories by this writer.
