My Thoughts: This book was very fast paced and super suspenseful. It has everything you'd expect a fantasy book to have, the mid evil feel of the havens and the fact that they're all sentinels. This book is packed with mythical creatures and lots of devine objects called "Chiave", which are magical keys that if found can help to release the "Tetrad" which have been locked away for centuries. if the Chivae fall into the wrong hands they can unleash chaos and distruction on both the Mystic world and the Human world. Gia and the sentinels set out to find all the Chiave and hide them somewhere safe before the eveil wizard, Conemar, finds them and releases the tetrad. That's not all that happens though. Aloungh the way Gia and Ayrk start to fall in love but in the Mystic world it is forbidden for two sentinels to be together. Each sentinel is betrothed to a mystic creature based on family stature and blood line. Ayrk tries to distance himself From Gia but always finds himself thinking about her and visa-vera. That's my favorite part really, just the fact that it's forbidden for them to be together and that they could be severely punished if ever found out makes thier whole romance simply inticing. This book definately kept me on the edge of my seat, whenever i had down time i wouldn't hessitate to pick it up and read more and more untill my eyes were either drooping from exaustion or poping out of my head from the intencity of sme scenes. I would deffinately recommened this book to anyone who loves fantisy and mythical creatures and romcance. From the moment i started reading this book i knew it was not gooing to let me go with out a fight and fortunatly for the book, it won. But there is no way i would change a thing. Brenda Drake is a great writer and takes great detail in explaining the scenery in deapth. I will foor sure be reading any other books that she writes.
