A Sorceress of His Own

by Dianne Duvall Narrated by Kirsten Potter

Overview

Since the day Lord Dillon earned his spurs, rumors of his savagery on the battlefield have preceded him into every room, stilling tongues and sparking fear. Weary of battle, he wishes only to find a woman he can wed who will approach him not with fear, but with the tenderness that has been absent from his life for so long. Yet only the wisewoman seems invariably at ease in his presence.



For seven years, Alyssa has been by Lord Dillon's side-counseling him from the shadows, healing him, and staving off the worst of his loneliness. Blessed-or cursed-with gifts that label her a sorceress, she is forced to conceal her youth and the love she harbors for him, leading Dillon and his people to believe she is the same wisewoman who served his father.



All is revealed, however, and passions flare when an enemy threatens Dillon's life and Alyssa sacrifices everything to save him. When Dillon discovers that the wisewoman is far from elderly, he is instantly entranced. And, as he and Alyssa work together to defeat an enemy bent on destroying them both, Dillon will risk anything-even the wrath of his king-to be with her.

Lord Dillon, earl of Westcott, trusts his “wise woman” implicitly, only to discover that his ancient advisor is 23-year-old Alyssa, who packs potent magical gifts. Narrator Kirsten Potter gives equal attention to historical detail and magical elements in Duvall’s twelfth-century mash-up. Her steadily pulsing voice makes every sentence meaningful and alluring whether it’s describing scenery or Alyssa’s attempts to keep her true identity hidden. As in the best audiobooks, it’s the joining of Duvall’s carefully constructed romance and Potter’s consummate voices that yields this excellent production. Potter has a special gift for compelling romantic performances, especially in the midst of history or adventure. Alyssa and Dillon are memorable in large part because of her. C.A.
