Okay, so this is a revised work of a previously free blog story with quite a few changes and it has made it even better. Selsor and Jenohn were both mentioned in An Admirer this is sort of a prequel and their story.
Selsor can’t work his magic; no matter how hard he tries and he is endlessly bullied because of it. One day he lashes out by accident in an effort to protect himself and finds himself condemned and banished. Three years later he finds himself a floor scrubber and hating his life. Jenohn is a Royal soldier who is on a mission to discover who is messing with the weather. He remembers Selsor well and needs his help.
I must admit I love a good Megan Derr book as there is always something so enchanting and simple about her stories. They are also about the story and the slight romance and not sex. To be honest there usually isn’t much sex in a Megan Derr book and I have to admit that for some reason I prefer it that way.
This story is well written and it kind of has a medieval feel to it and the descriptions are well-formed and give you a really good picture of the area. It has some danger, magic, a conceited soldier, an untrained mage and a happy ever after so I have to recommend this to anyone who wants a really good story and any of the above.
