The Emerald Fairy and the Dragon Knight by Jennifer Ivy Walker
My Review:
💖💖💖💖💖 The Emerald Fairy and the Dragon Knight by Jennifer Ivy Walker is an
action-packed adventure across Ireland, Cornwall, and Breton as well as fairy
sites of mystical power from islands to lakes and caves. Shape-shifters, elves,
and woodland, sea and sky creatures all come to the aid of Issylte and Tristan
as they face their final bloody battles with the Black Widow Queen and her
devoted servants, both human and otherworldly. Just when the reader thinks the
heroes have won some breathing room, the forces of evil cast another dastardly
spell to stymie them. Walker weaves an epic tapestry of sacrifice and devotion
as these heroes fight their way across land and sea to earn their reward, a
life and future together as crowned heads of their respective realms. A
terrific finale and fitting conclusion to this version of the timeless legend.
Blurb:
Wielding a trio of enchanted Elven weapons to
battle a dark wizard and a legion of diabolical dwarves, Tristan is faced with
the impossible choice between saving the woman he loves or defending his
endangered kingdom. Inexplicably compelled to remain in the sacred forest where
he hears the voice of her heart, the heir to the throne of Cornwall incurs the
wrath and scorn of his army when he decides to hunt for his captive mate.
Her verdant magic greatly enhanced by the
mystical Morgane la Fée, Issylte must summon a coalition of Naiad nymphs and
celestial fairies to destroy a nascent evil as she fights to reclaim her
rightful crown.
When the Black Widow Queen unites with a
malignant menace and a ghost from Tristan’s haunted past, the Emerald Fairy and
the Dragon Knight must ally with a triad of shapeshifting warrior tribes to
defeat a Viking Trident and defend their trinity of Celtic kingdoms.
Interwoven fates. Otherworldly
mates. Destiny awaits.
Excerpt:
She held the églantine to her nose, inhaling the delicate fragrance with a smile of wonder. “Thank you, my love. It reminds me of the nightingale in the woods of Avalon. You never cease to amaze me.” Gratitude shifted to empathy as she intently searched his face. “How does it feel to come home?”
Tristan
looked out at the cerulean sea. The blue waters of Lyonesse. His home. “I
feel…conflicted. Tremendous guilt and grief, mingled with incredible joy.” He
raised the hand in which she held the wild rose, lifting the pink blossom to
his nose. He inhaled its soothing floral fragrance—Issylte’s essence—to ease
his heavy heart. “When I saw the edge of the forest where Goron held me that
day…I relived the horrors…” A violent shudder shook his body.
Issylte
wrapped her arms around his waist and nestled her head against his thundering
chest.
He kissed the top of her head, cocooning her
in loving arms. “But now…with you here…I remember the love.” He rocked her in
his arms as fond memories flowed, washing away the sadness and sorrow. “My
mother’s tender touch…my sister’s beautiful smile…my father’s noble face. All
the happiness we shared here. All the laughter. All the love.”
Issylte
raised her tear-stained face to beam at him. “Love conquers hate. It is the
Goddess’ greatest gift. And I am eternally grateful that She has healed your
broken heart.”
He kissed her. His Wild Rose. His green golden goddess. His Emerald Fairy. “Aye, my love. She has. Through you.”
