Bøger i Sorcerous Moons serien

The first three books of the Sorcerous Moons fantasy romance series, now combined into a single print volume.Lonen's WarAn Unquiet HeartAlone in her tower, Princess Oria has spent too long studying her people's barbarian enemies, the Destrye-and neglected the search for calm that will control her magic and release her to society. Her restlessness makes meditation hopeless and her fragility renders human companionship unbearable. Oria is near giving up. Then the Destrye attack, and her people's lives depend on her handling of their prince…A Fight Without HopeWhen the cornered Destrye decided to strike back, Lonen never thought he'd live through the battle, let alone demand justice as a conqueror. And yet he must keep up his guard against the sorceress who speaks for the city. Oria's people are devious, her claims of ignorance absurd. The frank honesty her eyes promise could be just one more layer of deception.A Savage BargainFighting for time and trust, Oria and Lonen have one final sacrifice to choose… before an even greater threat consumes them all.Oria's GambitA Play For PowerPrincess Oria has one chance to keep her word and stop her brother's reign of terror: She must become queen. All she has to do is marry first. And marry Lonen, the barbarian king who defeated her city bare weeks ago, who can never join her in a marriage of minds, who can never even touch her-no matter how badly she wants him to.A Fragile BondTo rule is to suffer, but Lonen never thought his marriage would become a torment. Still, he's a resourceful man. He can play the brute conqueror for Oria's faceless officials and bide his time with his wife. And as he coaxes secrets from Oria, he may yet change their fate…An Impossible DemandWith deception layering on deception, Lonen and Oria must claim the throne and brazen out the doubters. Failure means death- for them and their people.But success might mean an alliance powerful beyond imagining…The Tides of BáraA Narrow EscapeWith her secrets uncovered and her power-mad brother bent on her execution, Princess Oria has no sanctuary left. Her bid to make herself and her new barbarian husband rulers of walled Bára has failed. She and Lonen have no choice but to flee through the leagues of brutal desert between her home and his-certain death for a sorceress, and only a bit slower than the blade.A Race Against TimeAt the mercy of a husband barely more than a stranger, Oria must war with her fears and her desires. Wild desert magic buffets her; her husband's touch allures and burns. Lonen is pushed to the brink, sure he's doomed his proud bride and all too aware of the restless, ruthless pursuit that follows…A Danger Beyond Death…Can Oria trust a savage warrior, now that her strength has vanished? Can Lonen choose her against the future of his people? Alone together in the wastes, Lonen and Oria must forge a bond based on more than lust and power, or neither will survive the test…

Books four, five, and six of the Sorcerous Moons fantasy romance series, now combined into a single volume. The Forests Of DruAn Enemy LandOnce Princess Oria spun wicked daydreams from the legends of sorceresses kidnapped by the barbarian Destrye. Now, though she's come willingly, she finds herself in a mirror of the old tales: the king's foreign trophy of war, starved of magic, surrounded by snowy forest and hostile strangers. But this place has secrets, too-and Oria must learn them quickly if she is to survive.A Treacherous CourtInstead of the refuge he sought, King Lonen finds his homeland desperate and angry, simmering with distrust of his wife. With open challenge to his rule, he knows he and Oria-the warrior wounded and weak, the sorceress wrung dry of power-must somehow make a display of might. And despite the desire that threatens to undo them both, he still cannot so much as brush her skin.A Fight for the Future With war looming and nowhere left to run, Lonen and Oria must use every intrigue and instinct they can devise: to plumb Dru's mysteries, to protect their people-and to hold fast to each other. Because they know better than any what terrifying trial awaits…Oria's EnchantmentThe Temptation of PowerNo longer a princess and not yet a queen, the sorceress Oria welcomes the rush of power the ancient mask brings her-though the obsessive connection to it frightens her, and alarms her barbarian husband Lonen. But retreat is not an option. She must wrestle the magic to prevent annihilating war, even if she must make the ultimate sacrifice.A World in FlamesIf Lonen wants to reclaim his throne-and save his people from destruction-he must return by sunset on the seventh day. What he thought would be a short and simple journey, however, leads them deeper into the mountains, and Oria deeper into the thrall of foul magic. Until he must choose between two terrible paths.A Heart-Wrenching Choice Struggling with conflicting loyalties, Oria and Lonen fight to find a way to be together… lest they be separated forever, and their realms go down in flames with them.Lonen's Reign A Looming ThreatThe sorceress Oria has finally come into her own-able to wield the power of her birthright and secure in the marriage she once believed would bring her only misery. But the past she escaped still chases her, and the certainty of war promises to destroy everything she's fought to have.An Impossible WarOnce before Lonen led an army in a desperate attempt to stop the powerfully murderous sorcerers of Bára-and he nearly lost everything. Now he must return to the battlefield that took the lives of so many of his people. Only this time he has more to risk than ever.The Final ConflictWith guile, determination-and unexpected allies-Oria and Lonen return to the place where it all began… and only hope that it won't also be the end of them.
