The Sorceress of Belmair

This book is a great read if you are interested in the Hetar World by Small. From beginning to end you have a smart heroine and a strong hero. Great Book!!!

The Sorceress of Belmair is the best book in the series for me. I enjoyed getting to know Lara, but this story touched a place in me the others did not. The relationship between Dillon and Cinnia really worked for me. They gradually got to know each other after being forced together, and came to love and respect each other. I loved the other characters popping in and out. In the guise of Fantasy, the plot was believeable and plausable. Nidhug and Cirillo's intertwined story was an added bonus. I am not so much into the "sex" anymore as I am into the storyline and this book delivered (and for those into the sex...it's there too). I give this book 5 stars and Bertrice Small **Kudos** for a phenomenal book!

Being the offspring of two extremely powerful parents especially his mother Lara, the Domina of Hetar, Dillon is not surprisingly a very potent magic practitioner. He also understands his duty when the dragon of Belmair directs him to marry headstrong but beautiful mage Princess Cinnia; after that he is to rule Belmair. Dillon and Cinnia prove much attuned to one another especially in the bedroom and even when they work royal dealings. Dillon uncovers a strange but powerful connection between Belmair and Hetar that concerns him, but not as much as the sudden serial disappearance of young women. The newlyweds diligently investigate in order to prevent any more vanishings, hopefully rescue the ladies, and stop the unknown culprit before further harm comes to the kingdom. The latest World of Hetar tale (see THE DISTANT LORD, A DISTANT TOMORROW and LARA) is a fantastic romantic fantasy mystery as Bertrice Small shows her skills by effortlessly combining the genres. The amateur sleuth investigation into a world filled with magic strengthens the already robust passionate ties between the lead couple. Fans of the series will especially appreciate this excellent entry as murder, love, and magic mix perfectly together by master sorceress Ms. Small. Harriet Klausner

I've been a big fan of Bertrice Small since her first book and continue to be amazed at her wonderful stories! This one follows the Hetar series and I just loved it. Read it in a day because the story was compelling. She definitely is the best historical/fantasy/romance writer of our generation! BRAVA!!!

Bertrice Small comes up with a great plot, the young women of Belmair are disappearing from the planet. The heroine and hero love each other enough that when the heroine herself disappears their love endures this separation and they both must suffer the crafty plot of another to replace their true love. The characters are interesting and worthy of your attention and the villians are relentless in their schemes. The outcome is cleverly resolved and Bertrice Small holds your attention to the end. You don't want this book to end. Great story with a twist and with a rather surprise ending. Well done.
