Something was after me, I could feel it. Deep darkness was surrounding me, trying to find me, to envelop me. I tried to make the rune signs for protection, but I couldn't lift my hands: my fingers weren't working. I'd been bound, just as Cal had bound me to entrap me. Smoke and flames burned in the back of my throat, and I heard a voice screaming, 'Not again!' somehow I knew the voice belonged to my birth mother, Maeve. Then faces rose up out of the smothering darkness: Selene and Cal. I begged them to leave me alone. I pushed my lips together tightly, knowing, somehow, that they wanted me to breathe in the darkness, wanted it to become a part of me. Just as I felt myself about to suffocate, I saw a tiny sliver of light. The faces of Cal and Selene dissolved as the light approached. And then I began to see a new face in its midst. Hunter.
For all of you who have been following my reviews of Cate Tiernan's series
Sweep, we are now on book 5 of 14. As we learned in my last book review, book four left us with more questions and concerns and few answers.

The Runaway Princess
by Christina Dodd
Mass Market Paperback: 384 pages
Publisher: Avon (February 9, 1999)
Language: English
ISBN-10: 0380802929
ISBN-13: 978-0380802920“She’d seen pictures of princes in her books. Lots of them. Princes wore capes lined with robin’s egg blue silk that they threw carelessly over one shoulder. They wore velvet capes trimmed with soft feathers. They trod so lightly that the ground was grateful to hold their weight. They were slender, graceful—and charming.”
Unfortunately for Evangeline Scoffield, Prince Danior is none of these things, but that is not the worst part. He also rudely calls her a liar merely because he refuses to believe that she is not his long-lost princess. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this novel—especially since Danior is my kind of “prince charming”—and keep going back to it. The characters are enjoyable, the plot is exciting and the chemistry is real. Add in a bit of interesting history since this book is set in 1816 and you get a great romance. It beats one of those unoriginal fairy tales any day.
