Prisoner

A Beauty and the Beast Retelling (The Scarred Mage of Roseward, Book 2)

Don't miss book two of this romantic "Beauty and the Beast" retelling.

A new light shines into the darkness of his heart....

After 15 years of imprisonment and solitude, Soran Silveri's life is rudely interrupted by the arrival of one brash, headstrong, flame-haired girl. He cannot refuse her appeals for sanctuary - but he can resist her pleas for him to teach her magic. If the suspicions he harbors about her prove true, tapping into her magic potential could spell disaster.

Nelle has survived the first hurdle of her mission on Roseward Isle: She convinced the disgraced mage to let her stay. Now, if she can only find his hidden spell book, she could return home in time to save Papa. It should be simple enough.

But as the danger stalking Roseward Isle closes in, a situation that once seemed simple grows more complex by the day. Can Soran bear to send away the woman who has instilled his life with new meaning and purpose? Can Nelle betray the man who has opened her eyes to possibilities she never knew existed?

Rediscover the tale as old as time in this romantic trilogy, perfect for fans of Miranda Honfleur, Audrey Gray, and Emma Hamm.

Tension and Magic

Actions have consequences, but there is hope in times of darkness.

The romantic tension continues to swell during this book. So much emotion.

Great narration.

Doesn’t need to be split into several books

Like many other authors do these books are split into too many and you’re stuck waiting on the next volume amongst many other stories. By the time the next book comes out you can’t even remember the first two.

It just kind of drags on. This second book could have easily been part of the first volume.
