Lord of Snow and Shadows
All Gavril Andar has ever known of life is the sunny clime of his southern home, his beautiful mother, and his love of painting. Until his peace is shattered – and his destiny decreed – by the arrival of a group of fierce clan warriors from the north. The father he has never known is dead. The man who ruled the wintry kingdom of Ahkendir, a man in whose veins ran the burning blood of the Drakhoul, has been murdered by his enemies.
Blood. The liquid that will seal Gavril’s fate. For becoming Drakhaon means not only ascending to the throne of Azhkendir, but also changing – changing, in subtle ways at first, into a being of erxtraordinary power and might. Becoming a dragon-warrior. One that must be replenished with the blood of innocents in order to survive.
Kidnapped by the warriors, Gavril is incarcerated in Kastel Drakhaon, with no means of escape from the isolated, ice-bound kingdom. Expected to avenge his father’s death, and carefully watched by neighbouring rulers waiting for their chance to move against him, the untested Gavril must fight to retain his human heart and soul in the face of impending war – and the dark instincts that threaten to overpower him…

This was a really entertaining book. Here I am out at sea off the coast of Alaska (I’m a sailor)and bored out of my mind, so I looked in the ship’s library and there laid this book. Thank goodness! I loved the adventure and the characters, I can’t wait to read book two.

I have just read the entire trilogy. I really enjoyed the books. Congratulations on writing a great series. Original setting and ideas. Lots of good twists and turns. Well developed characters.Great philosophical ideas underpin the books. I really liked the fact that the plot was not predictable. I have started on the next series already.

A great read! I stumbled on this jewel in a book store and the art work and name grabbed my attention. I immediately returned for the other two! Miss Sarah you are a genius in your work!
