Highly Recommended Fantastical Fantasy!, Jun 2 2004
Born during the height of a raging storm, the infant Khamsin is taken by the village healer to be raised and taught about her destiny. Never knowing her true parents, Khamsin develops a deep affection for, and revels in the teachings of, her Tanta Bron. Nearing her eighteenth birthday, and an important transition in her life, Khamsin is devastated by the death of her foster mother, then again, by an attack on her village leaving most of her people dead. She departs with the tinker, Rylan, to seek her fate, and the two form a special bond during their travels. When they finally arrive at a village far from home, Rylan informs Khamsin that he must leave her for a time. When three weeks come and go with no sign of Rylan's return, Khamsin sets out on her own to discover the true history of her heritage. WINTERTIDE is filled with all manner of dark, dangerous and fascinating characters and creatures. Best-selling and award-winning author, Linnea Sinclair, pens a tale filled with beautiful narrative passages and detailed descriptive prose. This is a story of another time and place where only two people have the power to end the war between dark magicks. Suspense abounds around every corner making this a fast-paced, intriguing read. WINTERTIDE is a highly imaginative, complex tale of sword, sorcery, and fantasy with romantic overtones. Although the hero and heroine are separated throughout most of the book, when they do finally come together, it is a satisfying joining of two hearts and souls that belong together. I highly recommend WINTERTIDE to readers looking for a fast-paced, unusual, dark and dangerous story about sorcerers, wizards, demons, and the power of love to conquer all.
