the long version

Chanting Trilogy #3 The setting sun turned Anya's hair into a golden aura as she secretly communed with the woodland spirits.

Honor-bound not to take Anya in passion, Evain had avoided his feelings and Throckenholt Keep until he heard her family's plea to use his powers to find a missing warrior.
