Jasmine had never realized her best friend Wiley was different until she arrives at the camp site where her friend was supposed to be, but wasn't. Then she is escorted through a portal, and finds herself in the Dark Lands--a world aside our own. There, her best friend is the queen of the Haunt, a powerful were race, and her own perceptions get a thorough working out.Keilor is Master of the Hunt and a formidable warrior, the head of the king's Haunt forces. He has no intention of letting Jasmine encourage his queen's escape, now that she has finally been found. He has his hands full from day one; he and Jasmine strike sparks off each other, which lead to sparks of another kind.There are traitors in the palace. No one knows how deep the conspiracy is, or who is completely behind it. Only one thing is for certain: it wants Jasmine dead.I agree the novel is complicated, and there is a great deal going on, and a lot of information. But I read this for the second time this afternoon, and enjoyed it just as much the second time. Yes, there are side threads of interest, likely to be addressed in the later books, and I, for one, cannot wait to read them!
