Celia Montrose is out on a hike looking for some lost petroglyphs, but when she
finds them her life changes in a way she never would have believed. Transported
to another world with no idea how or why, Cele is just trying to survive in a
desert with no water. When a group of strange men come across her, she’s
afraid, but her need for water is now desperate. She trusts them, but is
watchful. The leader of the group, Lord Dahleven, is just as wary of her. Is she
a spy, ally, or something else? He thinks she may be Fey-marked, but he needs
to hoof it back home to warn his people of impending war, so he drags her along
for the ride until he can figure her out. And that’s when things go sideways.
I don’t read too many
time travel stories anymore, but this is more like world or dimension travel
even if the people of Alfheim are living like times long past. The writing is
good, the characters interesting, the world is fascinating, and the plot is
decent. My main problem is with Celia. Her singlemindedness to get home blinded
her to everything else around her. And this makes her act like a damn moron.
Plus, I had a hard time with the insta-love between her and Dahleven. But other
than that this is a tale that will keep you turning the pages.
