This is a well written fantasy with memorable characters. Merrilyn's faith in a forgotten god, Loian, and her strict adherance to her professional principles place a strain on her friendship with Prince Justan. Had she not been the Alaith, Merrilyn's romantic relationship with Justan could have developed more quickly. Instead, following her professional call and her faith, Merrilyn finds a new friend--and a love triangle.

A Light in the Darkness takes us through a unique journey as Merrilyn, close friend to Prince Justan, presues her destiny as the Alaith, chosen magical healer of Nomar. While the adventure is fun and interesting, I found myself wishing there were more happening between Marilyn and Prince Justan, since I am a romantic at heart. Still, the writing was great, the story engaging, and the overall read worthwhile. Glad to have found it!
Loved this book!!! I became completely engrossed with the characters and found myself smiling with and rooting for them! I look forward to the next book!
This book drew me in from the first chapter. I absolutely loved it and had to just go get the second in the series! Can't wait to read more about Merri and Justan :)
