Publisher's summary

From author Thea Harrison comes the latest story in the New York Times best-selling Moonshadow trilogy....

Kidnapped while on tour, musician Sidonie Martel is transported to the mystical land of Avalon. A human without magical ability, she is completely vulnerable to the deadly forces surrounding her.

When she defies her captors and refuses to share her music, an act of violent cruelty leaves her broken, her ability to play silenced, maybe forever. Her only hope is a whisper in the dark, gentle hands that offer healing, and a man who refuses to show her his face yet who offers advice she dare not ignore.

One of the most feared and powerful sorcerers in history, Morgan le Fae serves a queen he despises, Isabeau of the Light Court. Once a famous bard and an advisor to kings, Morgan has been enslaved to Isabeau for hundreds of years, acting as enforcer and the commander of her deadly Hounds.

Sidonie's music touches Morgan in places he had abandoned centuries ago, and her fiery spirit resurrects feelings he had believed long dead. For Sidonie, trapped in captivity, passion offers a comfort she cannot resist.

But Isabeau holds Morgan bound in magical chains that only Death can break. And in the court of a cruel, jealous queen, the only thing that burns hotter than love is revenge...

Waiting on a hero but I get is a villain that becomes the hero

It is often said that how they handle extreme circumstances can reveal a lot about a person. Morgan La Fae is a man of noble legend, yet somehow he has become infamous as nothing more than an evil Queen's weapon of mass destruction. Unexpectedly, all is not what as it seems because not only does Morgan have no regard for the Queen but it appears that he has been bound under a compulsion spell that requires him to follow all of the Queen's orders. When the Queen makes a careless order, Morgan used the opportunity to escape to Earth in hope of finding a way out from under the Queen's control.

Thinking that he has slipped the notice of all who would seek to return him to captivity with the Queen Morgan relaxes enough to go to a concert, to hear Sidonie Martel play the violin. Morgan instantly and astoundingly becomes enraptured with Sid's music and makes a point to go to all of her future concerts before she leaves for another city. Tragically, Morgan's interest in Sid did not go unnoticed and Sid was kidnapped, removed from Earth and placed at the not so tender mercy of the Queen.

I could go on and give a review of the story but a person can read that for themselves. For me the entire story is based upon the question of how much a person is willing to risk of their own personal safety to save someone that they had never known. It is the creative ways in which Ms. Harrison answers that question during the rest of the story that lets us know Morgan La Fea has always been a hero at heart.

enthralling story

thea harrison work have always enthralled me with the fascinated world building and interesting characters and the story was no different enjoyed every minute

careful of your words

Interesting second book in this series. Good story line. Character of Sidonie a bit irritating with her OCD but otherwise okay. Narration okay, nothing special.

Book 2 of 3

I've especially enjoyed this series because each book has had its own story within the ongoing battle between the light & dark fae courts. It does need to be listened to in order. This story tells us more about the evolution of Merlin's relationship with the light court. It does not begin as a romance but as an action story that builds on characters and deeds from book 1, Moonshadow. The characters are strong and complicated and the story steadily builds up to it's conclusion. The narrator does an excellent job.

Love this story!

I had been hoping Thea would write about Morgan's story and it is a great sorry! I cried and I loved this story!

Excellent

I didn't want to stop listening! You jump immediately into the story and it doesn't slow down or get boring. I can't wait for the next one!

I have read and reread this story.

This is one of the best telling of Merlin that I have encountered. Please don't stop writting Thea.

Wow!

What a great story! I really like Sofie and Nick’s story but this one is a real rock star. Sid and Morgan are a great couple and learning more about Morgan was interesting. He deserves his happy ending with Sid.

I liked this so much better than I expected!

I went into this not expecting to like this book as much as the last. I was disappointed not to hear more of Sophie and Nikolas. I was so happy to be wrong! This book was awesome! The characters were well developed, their history and current situations so perfectly blended together! I found myself wanting to listen more to find out what happened next throughout the entire book! I also really liked that the characters weren't stupid. Their actions never left me thinking UGGG NO! WHY?!?! Actions and emotions and responses to different situations were believable.

Sophie Eastlake's performance was flawless again. I will be looking up other books she narrated for sure!

AWESOME! My Third favorite from Thea!

I didn't think I was going to like this as much as I have the other books but I LOVED it.

I liked this story better than the 1st Moonshadow book.
