Editorial Reviews

Publishers Weekly

Coulter's latest in the historical Sherbrooke series (following Lyon's Gate) stars Rosalind de la Fontaine, a beautiful young woman with an ethereal voice who has no memory of her name, her family or her heritage since being saved and adopted by Ryder Sherbrooke as a girl. Nicholas Vail, the new earl of Mountjoy, returns to England and recognizes her as the girl he has seen in his dreams since childhood chanting, "I am your debt." The two are soon inseparable, and their relationship reaches an altogether new level when they inexplicably discover an old book written in code, with tales of a magical place filled with dragons, wizards and abundant evil: the book urges them toward the realization of Nicholas's "debt" and the interpretation of a haunting song that Rosalind sings spontaneously. Coulter leaves some important questions unanswered, and her emphasis on the supernatural results in a faltering romance, but the suspense and the spirited mystery will keep readers glued. (Jan.)

NOVEMBER 2008 - AudioFile

Narrator Anne Flosnik reads this convoluted romantic suspense set in 1835 London. Rosalind de la Fontaine and Nicholas Vail, the Seventh Earl of Mountjoy, work to unravel the clues found in an old wizard's diary of his adventures in the "land of the Pale." Complication sets in when someone tries to kidnap Rosalind, and someone tries to shoot Nicholas—all while his family tries to prevent his marriage to Rosalind. Flosnik's smoky voice varies in intensity and crispness as she portrays the story’s male characters. For the women she reads in a sharper, brighter voice. As the novel slowly unfolds, with its old-fashioned long-winded speeches, Flosnik works hard to keep the listener engaged with the initial mystery. M.B.K. © AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine
