The Lady of the Mirrored Lake

 


About the Book: Accompanied by two knights, both wrongly accused of treason, Issylte, a healer who possesses magic of the forests, flees Avalon. The trio travels to Bretagne, where Issylte heals a critically injured wolf and obtains fiercely loyal, shapeshifting allies. While in Brocéliande, Issylte discovers a passion with Tristan which transcends all bounds. When she becomes the Lady of the Mirrored Lake, sworn to defend the sacred waters of the Goddess Dana, Issylte must undertake a perilous quest to discover what priceless object lies hidden in its murky depths. As a nascent evil emerges, the two lovers face a diabolical trio which threatens their lives, their love, and their kingdoms.

Our Review: An epic story populated by elves and dwarfs; knights, both black and white; Priestesses of the Tribe of the Goddess Dana, is a study of the author’s devotion to history as well as her talent and imagination. The writing is fluid and descriptive, the settings lush and colorful, the characters varied and interesting. Kudos to author Jennifer Ivy Walker for her strength and perseverance.

On a scale of 1-5, The Lady of the Mirrored Lake merits a 4.5.
