When she delivers the finished portrait, she inadvertently reveals a part of his soul to the other Faeries putting his position in jeopardy. Rook arrives to drag her to his court to face judgment. Isobel is furious, but she has no hope of escaping the magical being with inhuman reflexes.
As they journey through the realms, they are beset by unnatural creatures and pursued by a deadly hunter. Rook puts himself in harms way over and over again to protect Isobel and she grows to trust him in return.
They eventually realize more is going on behind the scenes at the Faerie Court than they could have imagined. They also begin to realize they are perilously close to breaking the most dangerous rule of all, the punishment for which could be death. But how can you control your own heart?
Margaret Rogerson's fantasy romance will appeal to a certain population who craves this kind of supernatural love story. For me, it was disappointing. I don't enjoy the falling in love with your kidnapper stories in general, and the plot never developed as much as I wanted. Had there been something more complex going on in the background, I would have liked it more. Recommended for grades 8 and up for mild profanity, especially in the first few pages.
