About the Author

C. L. Wilson wrote her first story at age six, many years, hundreds of false starts, and five completed novels later, she received “The Call” in October 2006, and sold her epic fantasy romance, Tairen Soul, at auction. Her debut novel spent two weeks on the USA Today bestseller list, and her subsequent novels have gone on to hit a variety of bestseller lists including New York Times, USA Today, and Publishers Weekly.

Editorial Reviews

The richly imagined third volume of Wilson's bestselling fantasy romance series (after 2007's Lady of Light and Shadows) draws the reader into a complex web of ancient magics and looming war surrounding a central mystery: why are the kitlings of the powerful Tairen, magical winged catlike beings, dying before they hatch? Ellysetta Baristani, a woodcarver's daughter with unexplained magical gifts, must find the solution with the aid of her recently discovered truemate, Rain Tairen Soul, the Fey king tormented by his past misdeeds. Wilson peels back layers of secrets surrounding the evil mages of Eld and their schemes to destroy the Tairen and the Fey, but the revelations never overwhelm the emotional intensity of Ellysetta and Rain's developing relationship or diminish the textured beauty of the writing. An exciting climax will leave fans hungry for more. (Oct.)
