The Barnes & Noble Review
Lisa Jackson delivers what her fans want most -- dark knights, headstrong women, and tempestuous love -- in this second historical novel in her classic Dark Jewels trilogy, once again available in a beautiful paperback edition. A dark emerald adorns an orphaned baby girl delivered by a priest to a witch in the forest. The girl, Tara, grows up to be beautiful, and ignorant of her beginnings, until she is captured by Rhys the bastard outlaw. The jewel she wears around her throat makes them natural enemies, but instant desire leads to love -- until another castle intrigue makes them distrustful of one another. Readers will savor the fast pace, star-crossed couple, and medieval setting of this captivating novel. Ginger Curwen
