Max Ravenhill is a history professor who discovers that he may have had past lives. When he sees Cassandra accross a room he is drawn to her but he doesn't realize that he has been in love with this woman during many of his existences.
Cassandra saves him from an attack by the Hound (The Hunt) when she kills it. As she looks for the other guardians (two) she finds that only she is protecting Max. At this point she tells Max that he is the Guardian Prince in a place he has no idea exists. With his life in danger, she convinces him to return to the land where he was born and grew up. The tale spirals out from there, is fast moving and exciting. I found this a remarkable read with a well developed plot.
The author created a world with interesting characters with depth. Even the personalities of secondary characters add so much to the story. I was surprised that I had not heard about this book but it's a remarkable writing. And, I was delighted to discover that there is a sequal called Shadowlands focusing on humans rather than mythical characters. This will be my next read and if it's as exciting as this read, I'll be in heaven.
