Lady of Light and Shadows
This first of what was to be a trilogy, but grew to a quintet of books, is a fascinating look at what happens when a magic Fey King calls to the magic in "ordinary" Ellysetta Barristani - a fey-tale story of love, loss, growth, and challenge to become more than ordinary. CL Wilson creates a believable magical kingdom which, threatened by evil, must step beyond tradition, beyond expectations, to become stronger, better champions of the light, and Ellysetta is an integral part of that change. A marvelous love story, it has the classic elements of heroism, courage and tenderness. CL Wilson's characters have depth, and one cannot wait to see how those characters grow and change over the course of the books to come.
