Garden of Shadows | Meara Platt
1 post | 1 read
Danger lurks for Julia Marsden, the daughter of the late vicar of St. Lodore's Church in the quiet village of Borrowdale. Julia doesn't believe in faeries or magic or dreams coming true, but odd things have been happening at the vicarage lately that cannot be explained. Her orphaned cousin, Charlie, believes in mythical creatures and claims that faeries now inhabit the vicarage's bluebell garden. The boy also claims the faerie king, Cadeyrn, has promised to make him a prince in his kingdom and teach crippled Charlie to walk again if he will cross into the Fae realm. As the faerie king's influence on the boy grows stronger, another threat emerges from the boy's uncle - Douglas Hawke, the Earl of Eastbourne, who has come to wrench him from Julia's guardianship. Julia is determined to fight both men, but as she and the boy begin to fall under the spell of the faerie king, Julia realizes that only her love for Douglas can save them. But is Douglas capable of loving her, even at the cost of his own life?

Garden of Shadows | Meara Platt

Once I started reading, it was hard to stop reading. I plan to read the next book in the series. The main characters, constantly mistrusting one another. It takes a child and imagination to bring adults together in order to realize that love helps them to find acceptance of past family failures & mistakes. The elf-king constantly hindering the situation doesn't help matters. I enjoyed the genre of historical romance mixed with magical creatures.
