Fantasy Romantica

 

Fledge of the Ten Nations Fair is a story witch. This spinner of tales embarks upon an adventure of her own after discovering a winged man so beautiful in face and form he could have been an angel fallen from grace. She removes him from the ignonimy of a butcher’s pile thinking to give this being a decent send off from the world and discovers that he yet lives. 

The Aetherii keep to themselves and are little known.  When Miriliel the Burnished is saved from death by an innocent and kind young woman, he is immediately attracted to her and is determined to try to repay her somehow.  He places her under his care by the simple method of paying the creature in charge for two weeks of her time.  After all, as a scholar he needs a guide so that he can study the Fair for entries in his encyclopedia.   

The feelings between them deepen from like and sexual play to love.   There are however, other things that Miriliel must see to.  The fight that left Mirry in a place of death led to his friend Janarnavriel the Noir’s disappearance.  The search will lead to something with which his logical mind will be astounded. 

Submerge yourself in this searingly hot and riveting tale leaving reality behind for awhile.  The teller’s cadence lulls while entrancing wording draws vivid portraits of the people and creatures inhabiting this world.   

Most beguilingly described are Mirry and Jan.  Both are sensuous fantasies of feather, flesh and sinuous tail.  The knowledge of how to wield their bodies is only one facet with which to fascinate the reader.  It is the depth of character and complex relationship that sharpens the picture of our heroes bringing them to life before us. 

The heroine may think little of herself in the beginning but she is warm, giving and intuitive.  Fledge is greater than her name and readers will thoroughly enjoy watching her grow to understand her own worth and strength.   

Jan’s captor is a cold, cruel beauty who receives much from the erotic torture she inflicts.  His experience at her hands and the battle he wages from his bonds are integral to this story but make for darker reading. 

There are many entertainments at the Fair.  Be sure to venture into this tent where the magic of Story is to be found and prepare to be bewitched. 

Readers should be aware that this book has ménage a trois, m/m, and bondage scenes.
