title: A Random Spirit
author: Quinn, Ellen
description: Cedric Portrey had a choice which he had no intention of making. Saul Douben didn't have a choice and that was there the trouble began. Cedric lived behind a flirtatious mask and a wild if unfounded reputation. Still it kept him safe from believing anyone would love the man behind the smile instead of the power and prestige of a sorcerer. Saul Douben had lost everything or so he thought. He was a quiet man with a lonely life. But everything changed when he entered Kashmerle Castle and walked right into Cedric's arms. Saul could not take it all in. His spirit walker kept disappearing amidst screams and explosions. And his only help came from a sarcastic tortoise called Fred. Luckily Saul was a patient man and he was fully prepared to wait for his happily ever after. He just wasn't sure it was about to happen any time soon.
