Lemlune: Gwathren's Shadow
It was as Adamar expected, he drew his sword and backed himself and Aiya under the eaves, keeping her behind him. A black spot appeared in the sky, it was speeding toward the city. As it approached, it grew into a black, amorphous mass, tendrils extending for at least a mile. It was animated, but didn’t seem to be alive. As if under someones control.
By this time the crowd had seen it and over the next few minutes, the streets went from chaos to deserted. Still, the Shadow approached.
Aiya had the impression that if the thing did make landfall, there was no place people could successfully hide.
The Shadow flattened itself out for a miles as though to blanket the streets, tendrils extended in all directions. About a quarter mile before it reached to top of the highest building, with what sounded like a clap of thunder, the massive Shadow exploded into white light that rained like sparks landing harmlessly all over the city.
Adamar relaxed sheathing his sword. “What was that?” exclaimed Aiya.
“That,” said Adamar with disgust in his voice, “was a Shadow of Gwathren.”

Imaginative & Fast-Paced
I like to think it’s every girl’s fantasy to be swept away into another realm where not one but many mythical beings are in love with you! Aiya, the FMC of this story, actually gets that, but its not all rainbows and unicorns. There are hardships and heartbreaks along the way as Aiya navigates the strange and beautiful world that is Lemlune. The story is very imaginative and quite fast paced. I was left with a few questions that I hope the author answers in future books. Specifically, for some of the other male characters that did not get their HEA! I want their stories!

Enjoyable fantasy story!
I love a good fantasy story and this one had me turning the pages.
We follow the story of Aiya (who is unsure what the energy is, that surrounds her) after she is thrown through a portal and ends up in Lemlune, a realm where other humans have come before her and where she attracts a lot of attention. She must find her way through this new, picturesque realm, encountering love and many struggles along the way.
Lemlune, Gwathren’s Shadow is a fast-paced, well-written, and enjoyable story.

Loved this story, the action was fast paced and the various scenes that showed time passing were kept simple. Love that it was the third love that lasted. The fact that the planet was kidnapping 'earthers' for the ability to save itself was a great idea. Would like to see more of this world and characters.
