Phaedra is the daughter of Ambrose, the Warden of Trant castle and since she is now of age, men flock to her home in hope of securing her hand as she has good looks and her spouse will also inherit the lands of Trant when her father dies. Unlike most women living in this medieval kingdom she belongs in, Phaedra is uncontent to marry and lose all her freedom only to be carted off to some distant place and lead a lonely life with some man she does not truly love. So when she escapes with a mysterious man who has appeared countless times in her dreams hloding a stone cup over many years in order to escape the fate of being wed to a Prince who has unfortunately clapped his eyes on her too, a whole new section of her life begins and she eventually realises that it is not an altogether joyous one afterwards. Ulfin- as the man turns out to be named- has unusual powers allowing him to communicate with Phaedra for example through dreams and may teleport to anywhere as he pleases but from who did he obtain his powers, exactly what did he do to acquire it, how will her father react and above all, why did he risk his life to rescue Phaedra anyway?
Overall, this novel was OK but there's not much action, the plot isn't fast-paced enough as the writer drones on and on about unnecessary things and some scenes are rather dull so I wouldn't recommend it.
