Lilly: A Sign of Alchemy Prequel Novella

by Robert W. Oliver II

Widowed Mauria works day and night to provide for her sons as the deadly Proctor Wars rage near her homestead. When she discovers a wounded Proctor hiding near her property, she knows she shouldn't assist. But when she recognizes the beautiful woman from one of her many clairvoyant dreams, she knows she must help.

Lilly is a warrior and would rather die alone in the woods than accept help from someone on the side of those who seek to destroy her people. But Mauria is different. Lilly soon realizes there's more than a passing connection between them—if Mauria can work through her confusion over being attracted to a woman.

As the battle continues, they risk everything to be together. Will their love be enough to carry them through an uncertain future, especially when the painful consequences of their wartime choices threaten everyone they love?

I really liked this book. I know it was a novella but I feel that it could have been a lot longer.


************SPOILER ALERT*******************




I really wanted to see a reunion between the two main characters and would have like to have seen how they adapted while they were separated.

The is the first book of "Sign of Alchemy" series.I really love this book. The characters were wonderful! Now on to book 2 "Niv'leana".

This is one of those books that I pick up and expect to spend a bit of time reading and set it down. This isn't a long read, but it is a powerful one. I read Dragonfly by this author and didn't expect this one to measure up to that, but I was pleasantly surprised. This novella isn't long and flashy, but it gives a touching and well-written look at two women who meet under less than ideal circumstances, but find they share a connection that drew me in and made me care about them from the first page.

My only wish is the same one I have had after reading Dragonfly. I want more! I want to know what happened to them after this book ended and hope that at some point we get more of their story.

I didn't quite expect to be so taken with this one. When the ending of a book leaves you wanting more then to me that is a great book and this one has me needing to read the next one as soon as I can. I don't really like to give spoilers of any kind away but the end really had me choked up alot. A great way to spend some time in a world away
