Date: 11 7, 2010
A girl comes of age when she is sold into marriage to an aged prince in order to unite the Cainites and Sethites, which unleashes her destiny, as both supernatural beings and mortals clash over the ancient curse against uniting the two sects -- her future hangs in the balance as she avoids dangerous enemies and learns who her true friends are. Exciting adventures and international intrigue unfold as it remains to be seen who will win her true heart as two would-be rescuers, one mortal and one supernatural being, aid in her journeys, rescues and her spiritual revelations that are cloaked in the mystery of a three-word riddle. Her loyalty to her aged husband and her young woman's passion battle each other in her heart as she makes decisions which will affect not just herself but the fate of a kingdom and the power struggles of the angels, both good and evil. The book ends with a stunning cliffhanger and an exciting preview of the sequel. This book is well written and imbues all the flavor of ancient times but in modern easy-to-read language. The history is well-researched but helps, rather than hinders, the story, as the past comes alive on pages of a young woman's heart. Recommended read.
