About this title

Review:

Maxmilian Hawke is in Breslovia at the request of the Grand Duke. But it is the Grand Duke's wife, Queen Cassandra, that captures Max's attention. Of course, when he first saw her standing in moonlight with water tumbling over her he didn't know she was the queen. Then they made love... and it didn't matter who she was. But then daylight-- and reality-- came. Max's destiny in Breslovia is to build the army and be a general, not seduce the queen... the married queen! Cassie is troubled by visions of the destruction of her people. It was a vision that drove her out of her rooms and through the secret tunnel to the waterfall where she met Max. Her marriage to Albert, the Grand Duke, is loveless and lonely. Since the murders of her brother and father, Cassie has been manipulated by Albert's brother, Cardinal Sinzen. It was his suggestion that she marry Albert to help her rule Breslovia and she thinks the cardinal has the country's best interests in mind. But the cardinal has his own plans for Breslovia and with Albert's help he will succeed. As the peaceful land of Breslovia becomes a battleground of wills, Cassie and Max discover that their one night of passion is more than a memory-- it is a prophecy. Caught up in the deceit of those who would destroy them, a queen and a soldier find love. But will they learn the truth of who is behind Breslovia's problems before it is too late?Christine Dorsey is an incredible talent! Her words conjure up images of another age... an age of chivalry and romance! Splendor is simply splendid! A marvelous tale! Entertaining and exciting!
