Stardust and Shadows

A phenomenal story -- even for those who don't particularly care for the sci-fi kind of fantasy romance. I found this book ten years ago, and like the other reviewer, I've never forgotten it. I was actually able to find it on this website because I still remembered the names of the characters! You will not be disappointed.

I first picked up the first book of the series when I was in High school and after that I had to read the rest of the series.This book has been on my mind ever since then. The story line was tragic and torture yet I could not put it down. The emotions that Varian felt, when he posed as Ryker, was vivid and wonderfully expressive.The love between Varian Saar and Jana Greyson seemed ill fated in the beginning of the book because of Jana's rejection of Varian and her acceptance of Ryker, but in the end their love did triumph even after the revealation of Varian's deception.This book sent my emotions into limbo because I could feel what the characters felt.I can't convey my enthusiasm without degrading the book. You readers just have to read it for yourself. One final word about this book- orgasmic.
