Prince of Magic (Children of the Sun #1)
by

Independent Ariana, daughter of the Sun Witch, has the special power of healing--and now she tends to her emperor. But a prophecy points to Ariana as the one to save Columbyana from a growing evil. As an ally, Sian prepares this sensuous woman for the fight of her life. And when passion's heat mingles with the heat of battle, man and woman will never be the same.

Just finished Prince of Magic (★★★★) by Linda Winstead Jones. It's listed as the first book in the Children of the Sun trilogy, but since this trilogy is a continuation of the Fyne Witches trilogy, it's almost the fourth book in the series instead. I read & enjoyed the Fyne Witches trilogy in 2006 and enjoyed it enough that I bought Prince of Magic in early 2007, but that's around the time I moved into vampire/werewolf PNR and Prince of Magic has been sitting on my TBR shelf since then.

This book starts the second trilogy of a nicely cheesy romantic fantasy series. Each book adds a bit more graphic sex, but that is also expected with the genre. And as an aside, although the title seems to imply that the main character is male, it really is the female protagonist who has the majority viewpoint and is whom the “prophesy” depends upon for this book.
This 2nd trilogy is strictly middle of the road enjoyment for me. I enjoy the writing, characters and story, but wouldn't put it in my top anything list.
That being said I did really enjoy the first trilogy and am thinking I'm going to like the second. Good reads and a lot of fun!

I read the first 50 pages and had to quit. Sian kept going on about how "strong" Ariana was, and how she was sure to die and all that sap. Oh, and he tried to banish his "weird" feelings toward her. Tiring.
This is the first in a trilogy and it was awesome! I couldn't put it down. This book leapt from the pages and pulled me right into the land of Columbyana and kept me there through Ariana and Sian's story. Though of course it's not over yet as there are two more parts to tell the whole story and I'm looking forward to reading them!
Sian is a sorcerer who has a prophesy that involves the first born of the Fyne witches, Ariana. She must lead an army against Ciro, the prince that is possessed by a demon. She is determined to go to the Anwyrn, the wolf people that her cousin is Queen of and get their help, but along the way they meet the dark army and lose many. In the end, Sian and Ariana are together, in love, waiting to see if her cousin the Queen is found before they must head out again. I love this author, and this is a g...more

Now THIS series...I read the third trilogy before I read the first trilogy...
An excellent book and a great way to start off the next series.
Good book! I was so excited to start this series after reading the Fyne Witches set. I just can't put this book down!! Im glad that I waited until the one came in from loan before started the second one. I have a feeling i'd be so lost. Great book and great set! Can't wait to strt the next book and then the set after this one.
Great series.

Sian Chamblyn, a wizard, comes to find the firstborn children of the Fyne witches, who will be instrumental in destroying a great evil that threatens the land. Sophie's daughter Ariana is a healer at the palace, and Sian starts to train her to fight, while hiding the secret that Ariana is destined to die.
This book set up the ensuing conflict perfectly, while leaving enough hanging for the next two. Sian is an odd hero, but he and Ariana match well.

3.5 stars
Awesome! Arianna and Sain are great characters. I'm loving the new battle and the great characters. So much adventure that it makes you wanna flip to the next page. I'm glad that Jones decided to continue the story through the kids.
The story was about a healer who as to learn to fight due to a prophecy made. She is trained by a magician with whom she falls in love. They have to battle demons, vampires, etc to try and save their people form evil.
Reading again..Cause I picked this up and I had forgotten I had read it..Looked on here and yes I had indeed read it in 2009..oh well..I still like it!!

This one started off OK, but the bad guys were doing some strange/disgusting things that really put me off. Didn't make it past the second chapter.
Good romance-- I read all three- prince of magic, prince of fire, prince of swords-- I really got into the characters--
