Grayson of Concordia will do anything to get rid of his shadow Shad. However when he agrees to seduce and kidnap Cenda, he didn’t expect to feel like such a cad. There is something about Cenda that brings out both his and Shad’s protective instincts.
After Cenda’s daughter dies, she totally withdraws into herself. That is until her friend drags her along to meet Grayson. Now Cenda is determined to enjoy his company and body until he leaves for the next planet.
I have never read any of Ms. Rossetti’s works but now I am a confirmed fan. THE FLAME AND THE SHADOW draws the reader in with her characters that are incredibly real and a plot that is delightfully complex. Just be sure that you set enough time aside to read THE FLAME AND THE SHADOW in one sitting. It demands no less.
Gray is a fascinating man that just happens to be deliciously sexy to boot. He is a man torn in two and hanging onto his sanity by a thread. The only way that he knows how to resolve this dilemma is to do something so vile that he isn’t sure that he will be able to live with himself afterwards.
Cenda is a woman that has never come into her own. Accustomed to being considered clumsy, plain and powerless, she is unable to believe that she could attract such a man as Gray. It is a true joy to watch this character grow and come into her own power as both a witch and a woman.
The villains, some immediately obvious and some hidden, are just as complex. Toss in some secondary characters to round out the story and unique locations for the readers to explore, and you have a story that is dying to be read. Be sure to pick up your copy today and keep an eye out for next book in the series which will be coming out in the Fall of 2009.
