Luck in the Shadows

Posted on by

When young Alec of Kerry is taken prisoner for a crime he didn t commit, he is certain that his life is at an end But one thing he never expected was his cellmate Spy, rogue, thief, and noble, Seregil of Rhiminee is many things none of them predictable And when he offers to take on Alec as his apprentice, things may never be the same for either of them Soon Alec is traveling roads he never knew existed, toward a war he never suspected was brewing Before long he and Seregil are embroiled in a sinister plot that runs deeper than either can imagine, and that may cost them far than their lives if they fail But fortune is as unpredictable as Alec s new mentor, and this time there just might be Luck in the Shadows.

tradition of escaping baddies and looming dark magic I love the relationships as well There s a connection between 2 male characters that I believe may turn romantic in the subsequent books, but

invited speaker at Yaoicon last year I have to admit, I d never heard of her before, but the seminar she led with Ginn Hale, Astrid Amara and Marie Sexton made me interested in buying at least this

feelings with interest Like carnal interest There is no sex between them for the whole 400 plus pages of the book, and Alec has a memorable scene with a young woman who assumes he is already Seregil s lover He denies it hotly, but makes no demur that such a thing is impossible In fact, shortly thereafter he and Seregil dash off to doac...Luck in the shadows you don t question it, you just give thanks and pray it doesn t run out Luck in the Shadows fits perfectly into the classic fantasy shelf Sadly, it does not have any added value It has plenty of removed value, though.Enter Seregil, a noble, a spy, a lover of luxury, and a representative of a mysterious people with a tragic past Meet Alec, apparently a simple boy, slowly pulled by Seregil into a world where nothing is as it seems

unconventional hero.One thing I want to say before I launch into a summary review the main characters are not gay they re bisexual Both of them express interest in and have relationships with women It s a silly thing to get nitpicky about, but I do On with business.Alec is a young man, just turned sixteen and recently orphaned, who earns a living trapping and trading furs He s lived his entire life
