Cover Artist: Angela Waters
Book Description:
They’ll risk forever death for one last chance together…
Nuala of Glengowyn hasn’t left her home city in over a century, but not by choice. Her skill as a weapons master has made her a prisoner of her people. Held apart, protected in the extreme—until Sorcerers attack the human city of Sinnale.
Sent to supply her unique magical arrows to help the humans, she is far from free.
The elf king and queen have sent a bodyguard, a fearsome warrior whose reputation has no rival. The only man she has ever wanted. Einar of Glengowyn.
Einar is known as a battle-crazed destroyer, so feared among elves he’s called by a single name: Darkness. And he has only one weakness—Nuala. Their union is forbidden, for melding their magics could destroy Nuala’s gifts. Yet as they journey to the war-torn city, no royal decree is a match for two hundred years of pent-up desire.
But even if they escape the war zone, their lives still hang in the balance. They must confront their sovereigns and prove love makes them stronger—or face their deaths.
Product Warnings: This book contains a deadly elf hero, a heroine who’s his match, a lot of sexy misbehaving, some hard language, racing through the streets, owls, arrows, evil Sorcerers, wicked minions, and a very dangerous elf king and queen.

Why Epic Fantasy Romance?
For those who might not know, epic
fantasy romances are fantasy stories that take place in worlds that aren’t
Earth (this is as opposed to Urban Fantasy or Paranormal which are Earth-based
fantasy stories). I often tell people to think Lord of the Rings or Game of
Thrones. But I always want to include the warning that the genre is much more
diverse than just those two worlds, so don’t let that limit your idea of what
epic fantasy can be. A lot of it will really appeal to paranormal romance
readers. My Fire and Tears series is a case in point.
So why do I write epic fantasy? Because
I LOVE making stuff up. Seriously, that’s my prime motivating factor. In epic
fantasy, I get to make everything up as I go along. I’m a mad crazy world-builder,
and for this particular subgenre, the only thing I really have to do is make
sure I’m consistent and that my world feels real enough that readers aren’t
thrown out of it. Otherwise, my imagination is the limit.
That’s just too much fun to resist. *g*
I
write epic fantasy romance so I can play. It’s a little like being a
professional athlete—I’m being paid to play! (Okay, I’m not paid nearly as much
as most pro athletes but hey, I can pretend! After all, that’s what I’m good
at—pretending.)
Also, I love swords and bow and arrows.
I know, I know, I could incorporate those into a paranormal or urban fantasy
(and I do when I write those if the story lets me), but when I think swords and
bows, I think epic fantasy so that’s where my imagination goes.
And that’s why I write epic fantasy
romance—playtime, make-believe worlds, and the weaponry. Oh and elves! I love elves.
So what kinds of “fantasy” elements do
you like in stories? I love dragons too! I just don’t have any in this current
series. Yet… *g*
Thank you, Isabo!
