Ever since the Lords of Satyr received the letter from King Feydon last spring one after brother after another has left their estate to go in search of the King’s daughters. At the King’s request the brothers are expected to marry his FaerieBlend daughters, only to leave their estate at the same time would have resulted in the gate between EarthWorld and ElseWorld being left unprotected.
Nicolas and Raine have already located and brought two of the sisters under Satyre protection - not to mention fallen in love with them. Now it’s Lyon’s turn and his search will take place in Paris, France - where the last sister is supposed to be found according to King Feydon.
Lyon’s resigned to marry the last of King Feydon’s daughters but first he has some carnal needs that need addressing. He selects a human but then loses interest in her when he hears the sound of nymphs crooning. Nymphs would be far better suited to handle his desires, besides they’re notorious gossips and he’s hopeful they can provide information on the female he seeks. After locating the source of the singing he notices a scent that tells him his intended is near. That she is of the sea is a little worrisome but not insurmountable. Is it possible that he’s found the last sister on his very first day in Paris?
Juliette Rabelais learned of her faerie abilities several years ago but she’s never learned how to control them. Accused of murder, she lives in fear of being arrested even though she knows that she’s innocent. Valmont, her guardian, uses her worry against her while using her talents in the kitchen to his advantage. When he discovers Lyon’s interest in Juliette he forces her into eliciting information regarding the Satyr vineyards. Valmont’s own family’s fortunes were destroyed because of the blight of phylloxera which has destroyed vineyards all across France.
It isn’t until Valmont acts even more inappropriately than usual and her good friend Fleur disappears that Juliette realizes her situation is getting dire and opts to leave. Only after leaving Valmont’s townhouse she runs into Lyon and discovers he’s ailing and what’s worse - she’s to blame for his ailment. Fortunately she isn’t above doing whatever’s necessary to save him.
The LORDS OF SATYR series has completely enchanted me since the very beginning. Each story is so different and full of unexpected events that readers quickly find themselves immersed in the characters and setting. In LYON there’s a surprising twist that occurs early on which sets the tone for the rest of the book - and yet doesn’t give anything away. Elizabeth Amber brings mythological creatures to life in a historical setting with delicious results and I, for one, couldn’t wait for each new addition to this series. Fortunately there will be at least one more book in this series, DOMINIC, THE LORDS OF SATYR will be released in March 2009.
