| I really enjoyed this: a character with a lot at stake and willing to take risks to achieve her goal, an interesting world and magic system, a hero with secrets of his own. Strong pacing. | |

| Novelette introducing Lia de Crossets, half werewolf half war mage, set in the same world as Dorina Basarah and Cassie Palmer. A little short for my tastes but a good story and a great character. | |

"I have to." A regretful sigh. "And it's best if you don't remember any mermen." He tucked a strand of wet hair behind her ear. His voice stroked her skin like velvet. "Forget me."
And she did.”
