Magic
Knowing instinctively that "it was time" to use her family's powerful heirloom brooch to save her people, Fallon heads for the sacred castle ruins to call forth the legendary warrior Ciaran. However, when a stark-naked man carrying an ancient dagger stumbles out of the mistAwith no memory of who he is and a strong aversion to being considered a mythical saviorAFallon has her work cut out for her, but she doesn't count on falling in love with her out-of-time hero in the process. Cates uses Celtic lore and Irish tradition laced with humor and shimmering sensuality to produce an engaging, well-written story. Despite some overt meddling on the part of the fairies to make everything work out appropriately, this romance will please readers who like their heroines intrepid, their heroes noble (if somewhat confused), and their fantasy lyrical. Cates (Gather the Stars, LJ 5/15/96) lives in Moline, IL.Copyright 1998 Reed Business Information, Inc.
