ABOUT THE BOOK
When a cursed dragon-witch kidnaps fairest Lady Gleamdren, the Bard Eanrin sets boldly forth on a rescue mission...and a race against his rival for Gleamdren's favor. Intent upon his quest, the last thing the immortal Faerie needs is to become mixed up with the troubles of an insignificant mortal.
But when he stumbles upon a maiden trapped in an enchanted sleep, he cannot leave her alone in the dangerous Wood Between. One waking kiss later, Eanrin suddenly finds his story entangled with that of young Starflower. A strange link exists between this mortal girl and the dragon-witch. Will Starflower prove the key to Lady Gleamdren's rescue? Or will the dark power from which she flees destroy both her and her rescuer?

MY THOUGHTS
Not my usual kind of book, but I was quite pleasantly surprised. Fairies and immortals will whisk you away on an enchanting journey that's a bit like Alice in Wonderland and Narnia as well. Strangely enough you will find that even a book about Faeries can be Christian oriented! A very good read, one that may surprise you as much as it did me!
