Mirror,

queen will take.
About the Book: In this dark fairy tale adaptation of a medieval
French legend, Issylte must flee the wicked queen, finding shelter with a fairy
witch who teaches her the verdant magic of the forest. Fate leads her to the
otherworldly realm of the Lady of the Lake and the Elves of Avalon, where she
must choose between her life as a healer or fight to save her ravaged kingdom.
Tristan
of Lyonesse is a Knight of the Round Table who must overcome the horrors of his
past and defend his king or lose everything. When he becomes a warrior of the
Tribe of Dana, a gift of Druidic magic might hold the key he seeks.
Our
Review: lush descriptions and details
of the rigors of medieval life abound in this adaptation on an old French tale
of love and betrayal and resolution. The author clearly knows the characters
and the setting very well—and it shows on every page.
On a
scale of 1-5, The Wild Rose and the Sea Raven deserves a 4.
