The Lady of the Mirrored Lake
Jennifer Ivy Walker
Fantasy
Hunted by the Black Widow Queen, Issylte–a healer with the verdant magic of the forest–must flee Avalon with the two finest knights in the Celtic realm, both wrongly accused of treason. The trio travels to Bretagne, where Issylte heals a critically injured wolf and obtains fiercely loyal, shapeshifting allies.
In mystical Brocéliande, Issylte becomes a warrior priestess of the Tribe of Dana and otherworldly mate of the Blue Knight of Cornwall, discovering with Tristan a passion that transcends all bounds. When she becomes the Lady of the Mirrored Lake, sworn to defend the sacred waters of the Goddess, Issylte must undertake a perilous quest to discover what priceless object lies hidden in its murky depths.
As a nascent evil emerges in a fetid cave, Issylte and Tristan must face a diabolical trio that threatens their lives, their love, and their kingdoms.
Enchanted. Enflamed. Entwined. Can their passion and power prevail?
Uncaged Review: The author sets herself apart in the fantasy field. Everything is so well researched and the book flows from one scene to another. In the second book of the trilogy, Issylte, Tristan and Lancelot are preparing for war, bringing in allies and putting together an army for the war against the Black Widow Queen who killed Issylte’s father and has Tristan’s father under enchantment. Issylte learns to defend herself, and makes some strong alliances – and is gifted not only becoming the Lady of the Mirrored Lake by the Tribe of Dana, but also alliances with the mermaid warriors, bear clan and the wolves. Hiding out at Lancelot’s kingdom, they train and prepare for the war.
This is such a well written book, and the romance between Tristan and Issylte finally comes to fruition and where the author came up with some of the names for many characters is truly mind boggling. There were many characters to keep track of, but it wouldn’t have been the story it is without the supporting cast. The final book brings us to the grand finale, and I’m looking forward to it.
