Adam Black, prince of the Tuatha Dé Danaan, that's fairies to most of us, has been stripped of his immortality and power by his queen and left to live as a mortal. She has also cursed him with the féth fiada, which means that no one can see him, hear him, or feel him. This is definitely not the life that a 6000 year old immortal expects.

Gabrielle O'Callaghan is a Sidhe seer from a long line of the same. That has not been a good thing as the fairy tend to carry off all that can see them. So Gabrielle has been taught to never betray the fact that she can see the Sidhe, as well as to hate and fear them.

When Adam finds Gabrielle and realizes that she can see him, he is elated. He now has someone to aid him as he works break the curse and return to immortal life and power. And it is a bonus that the Sidhe seer is such a tempting morsel. The only problem is that Gabrielle is not willing to help, but that shouldn't be hard to over come. After all, he has seduced innumerable women in his 6000 years.

Gabrielle is doing her best to send this unwanted person on his way, but it is not going well. For instance, when she talks to him, her friends think she is talking to the air, since they can't see him. And the fact that he is 6 feet 6 inches of rippling muscles, golden skin and long black hair is pretty distracting, too.

This is the sixth book in Karen Monings Highlander series and it is probably better to read these books in the order they are written, as actions and characters from other books come into this one.

It is a lovely romance with interesting characters and truly unique problem for the lovers. After all an immortal fairy and a normal young woman have a few issues to deal with, when they fall in love.
