I really enjoyed this book and look forward to the second book in the series. Skillfully written, with interesting characters, it keeps the reader's attention.The planet of Ontariese has been in civil war for 89 years. Previously a matriarchal monarchy, the government splits into two warring sects following the dissolution of the marriage of the queen, E'Lana Aune and her husband Fro dar Joon. The followers of the queen, known as the Traditionalists believe in keeping the teachings of laws written hundreds of years ago. The followers of the husband, called Reformationists, believe in modernizing the laws. The leader of the Reformationists is the cruel mage, Dez de Joon. The leader of the Traditionalists is Roe Aune, but he is a minor character. His sons, Trey and Tal are much more interesting.The life of Charlotte Layton is changed forever when the space ship of the gorgeous alien, Tal Aune crashes near her mountain cabin in Aspen. Tal has come to earth searching for Dez dar Joon. Dez dar Joon is on earth searching for Charlotte. When Tal shows up outside Charlotte's cabin near death, she saves his life and becomes an unwilling participant in the mission to capture Dez dar Joon.I wish the book would have covered what happened to E'Lana Aune after she saved her twins by transporting them to another planet. I also wish it would have told us whether Lilt dar Joon and his son Lor, turned out to be good guys or bad guys. Perhaps these questions will be answered in book 2.I recommend this book. I also recommend her series called "Rebel Angels".
