The Barnes & Noble Review
Kinley MacGregor creates another wonderful dark hero in this new romantic fantasy, the latest entry in the Lords of Avalon series. Varian Du Fey, hit man for Merlin, might just be the baddest of the bad, and no wonder -- his father was the traitor Lancelot, and his mother, the right hand of Morgan Le Fey. Raised on hatred and anger, Varian has grown into a powerful sorcerer, one of the few able to walk safely between Camelot and Avalon. But his mother, Narishka, has a plan to exploit his one weakness -- pity. Varian is kind to an old crone, who turns out to be the princess Merewyn, transformed into ugliness by Varian's mother. Merewyn is reverted to beauty, but on a timer -- she's got three weeks to seduce Varian, who has been trapped and tortured in a dungeon. But Merewyn has her own standards; together they make their escape, and after many spells and much magic, uncover the traitor who killed a Grail Knight and find their own safe harbor. Ginger Curwen
For countless centuries, I've been the assassin for the infamous Merlin, even though the woman who birthed me sits at the right hand of our enemy, Morgen le Fey. Now both my mother and Morgen have decided that it's time I take my place on their side of this conflict.
Normally, telling them no wouldn't be a problem, except for the fact that the good guys I protect think that I'm an even worse demon than the ones we fight. Hmm, maybe they're right. I have to say that I do enjoy maiming anyone who gets in my way.
At least until my mother gives me a simple choice: join Morgen's Circle of the Damned or see an innocent woman die. I'm all for saving the innocent, but Merewyn isn't as innocent as she seems. And she's none too fond of the fact that her fate is in my dubious hands. Personally I'm all for taking the easy way out, but leaving her to Morgen is rough, even for me. Now the only way to save both our lives is to face the evilest forces ever known¿my mother and Morgen. And two people who know nothing of trust must learn to rely on each other or die: provided we don't kill each other first.
