Description

One of Booklist's 101 Best Romance Novels of the Last 10 Years from an awe-inspiring, award-winning author

The perfect blend of fantasy, romance, and adventure, The Lady of the Storm is an adventurous romance. Readers of Karen Monin, Jennifer Armentrout, Kresley Cole, and Diane Duval will be excited to follow Cecily and Giles on their perilous journey and be fascinated as they uncover the deep, dark connection that binds one to the other.

Half-human daughter of the Elven lord of Sea and Sky, Cecily Sutton has been raised in hiding. But when an attack on her village leaves her mother dead and her adoptive father missing, Cecily must turn the village blacksmith to help find him.

Giles Beaumont is stuck in a role he never wanted. He longs for action and adventure, but settles for his role as a blacksmith in a provincial village—all the while guarding Cecily from the shadows. Having sworn an oath to her stepfather to keep her safe, Giles has no other choice but to follow after Cecily as she sets out to find him.

But duty is quickly replaced with desire as the search for Cecily's stepfather leads to a magical destiny that could end the rule of the Elven Lords.

What readers and reviwers are saying about The Lady of the Storm:

"Kennedy's exquisite world building and terrific plotting make this a must-read... Kennedy creates a satisfying, fully realized world where adventure abounds... thrilling and distinctive Elven Lords series."—Booklist

"Few authors grab the imagination and the heart so deeply."—Merrimon Book Reviews

"As darkly imaginative as Tolkien, as richly romantic as Heyer, Kennedy carves a new genre in romantic fiction."—Erin Quinn, author of Haunting Warrior
