          <body><![CDATA[Set in the same world as Brigg's Mercy Thompson novels, this fantasy focuses on the relationship between Anna and Charles.  Whereas the Mercy Thompson novels deal with Mercy's developing relationships.  This is an okay book but the romantic focus is a distraction from the main story.]]></body>
