Rois offers herself up to the Fairy Queen but her humanity ends up breaking the spell the Queen has over her, Corbet and Laurel. With Corbet gone in deepest mid-winter, Laurel begins to fade away, much like their mother did years and years ago. He is under the spell of the fairy queen and when the fairy queen tries to take Corbet for her own, Tearle fights his ensorcellement and ultimately ends up dead in our world in the Lynn house and Corbet has disappeared. Rois figures out that Corbet is from the fairy world, ie, The Wood and in a dream-like trip there, comes across Corbet’s father, Tearle Lynn. Back in the real world, it becomes obvious that Corbet is in love with Rois’s older sister Laurel, who is engaged to Perrin, a local farmer. Rois feels an attraction to Corbet and in a dream is told to never let him go. But no one knows what the curse actually is. His father supposedly murdered his grandfather in the middle of winter long ago and the grandfather cursed him and all his descendants.
She later finds out that a young man, Corbet Lynn, has returned to the village to repair and live in his ancestral home. She finds a hidden pool behind a curtain of wild roses and in the process of drinking from it one day, sees a stranger coalesce out of light and shadow. Rois, younger sister of Laurel, is a wild young woman who loves the woods. Crossposted at WordPress, Blogspot & Librarything by Bookstooge’s Exalted Permission And as autumn gold fades, Rois is consumed with Corbet Lynn, obsessed with his secret past - until, across the frozed countryside and in flight from her own imagination, truth and dreams become inseparable.This review is written with a GPL 4.0 license and the rights contained therein shall supersede all TOS by any and all websites in regards to copying and sharing without proper authorization and permissions. In her restless dreams, mixed with the heady warmth of harvest wine, she hears him beckon. In Corbet's pale green eyes, Rois senses a desperate longing. She is as hopelessly unbridled - and unsuited for marriage - as her betrothed sister Laurel is domestic. In the woods that border Lynn Hall, free-spirited Rois Melior roams wild and barefooted in search of healing herbs. But when Corbet Lynn came to rebuild his family estate, memories of his grandfather's curse were rekindled by young and old - and rumours filled the heavy air of summer. To others, it was a winter's tale spun by firelight on cold, dark nights.
Some said the dying words of Nial Lynn, murdered by his own son, were a wicked curse.
Sorrow and trouble and bitterness will bound you and yours and the children of yours.
