Sunspear Series #3
Shadowed Bonds
Victory is buried under the trail of Black Dragon destruction. Can two spear-bearers’ unshakeable connection reignite the flame against Black Dragon?
As the long-anticipated meeting between Dante and the Girl finally arrives, it’s bittersweet.
It’s overshadowed by a shared grief and the anguish that their sacrifice was for nothing as the Black Dragon continues to silently march forth with its ultimatum. Serve them or die. Then comes the terrifying realization that the Black Dragon now possesses the means to make such bondage reality. The two spear-bearers must see beyond the ashes left behind and move forward to face the Black Dragon again.
Yet another battlefield rages, one nearer to their hearts. Dante and the Girl promised their bond would not be broken, that it would see them through whatever lies ahead. However, the Girl is forced to keep her world hidden from Dante, and her tortured past threatens to overwhelm her. Those bindings entice her like never before, dragging her closer to the edge of a black abyss determined to make her its own. Dante, though, is equally relentless in his pursuit to keep his beautiful sunspear-bearer safe from the shadows that threaten to take her.
In the end, will she succumb to the tendrils of Darkness coiling around her, or will Dante’s bond be the stronger claim? Or does it only mark the beginning of the Black Dragon’s galactic conquest turning from a mere shadow to a deadly certainty?
Shadowed Bonds is the captivating third book in the Sunspear science fiction/fantasy series. If you’re taken by haunted, passionate heroes, devious villains, and intense battlefields, then you’ll love Elizabeth Lavender’s exhilarating tale.

Fascinating. A picture of unconditional love
At last, the girl has a name! The author’s ability to infuse the scene with all the emotions and feelings the characters are experiencing is truly exceptional. The strong bond of love between the Dante and the girl is the gold standard of all bonds, most of us fall short of it. The plot is engaging and the reader must continue until the end, immersed in the adventure and the dangers the characters need to overcome. The characters are well-developed and relatable even though they live and breathe in faraway worlds we can only imagine. As always, the underlying theme boils down to good vs evil. The book ends with a balanced mix of closure and anticipation for the next book. I’m sure there is more to come.
