The Last T'En, Cory Daniells , single work novel fantasy romance

'In a world of danger and dark enchantment, the most treacherous magic is desire . . .

'Trained in the arts of war and possessed of extraordinary healing gifts, Imoshen was one of the last of the legendary T'En, an ancient race who'd ruled Fair Isle for six centuries. But now, in the space of a heartbeat, all that Imoshen holds dear is gone...lost to invading soldiers and the relentless general who led them.

'All his life Tulkhan had heard tales of the T'En...of exotic women whose wine-dark eyes could see into a man's soul and read his mind. Yet nothing could have prepared him for the reality of Imoshen. Even surrounded by his Elite Guard, the fierce beauty would not surrender. But making the last living T'En royal his captive was a grave mistake. For soon Tulkhan will discover the full force of Imoshen's proud defiance, as this alluring temptress seeks to turn the tables and make her magnificent captor a prisoner of his own raging desire.

'From Cory Daniells comes a glorious romantic fantasy set against a backdrop of dark magic and daring, a spellbinding story of a man and a woman at the heart of a deadly conflict...and at the mercy of an irresistible hunger'.

Dark Legacy, Cory Daniells , single work novel fantasy romance
'In a world of treachery and magic, a warrior princess must face an unknown future - while her past comes back to haunt her.... Fair Isle was once a lush and lovely land, renowned for its wealth and elegance. Now its fields lie blackened by barbarian Ghebite conquerors who despise its traditions of female freedom - and fear its captive young empress, Imoshen. One of the last pure T'En - legendary for their subtle enchantments and fearsome beauty - Imoshen's magical nature is just beginning to emerge as this new era dawns on Fair Isle. Now, pregnant with Ghebite leader Tulkhan's child, she must battle to save both her land and her new union from being torn apart by suspicion and fear. Despite their clashing cultures, Tulkhan stirs in Imoshen a quicksilver passion, an all-consuming attraction that trembles on the brink of love. But as Imoshen tries to resist the urge to give in to this powerful longing, an older bond - and more sacred lust - tempts her. For she cannot forget her youthful betrothal to her kinsman Reothe, the last T'En warrior, a proud and sorcerous renegade who now seeks to reclaim Fair Isle - and Imoshen as well....'

Desperate Alliances, Cory Daniells , single work novel fantasy romance
'In a land of enchantment and betrayal, an empress sworn to a new future must face the world she left behind. With her wine-dark eyes and silver hair, Imoshen is the last T'En empress - blessed with exotic beauty and an extraordinary gift for healing. Once the enemy of the fierce Ghebite General Tulkhan, Imoshen surrendered herself and her island to the powerful invader to save her people. But what began as a political alliance blossomed into a passionate love, and now they share both a kingdom and a newborn son. Yet Imoshen's past still comes back to haunt her, as the T'En renegade, Reothe, refuses to relinquish his once betrothed. Believing Tulkhan will reject Imoshen if she carries another man's child, Reothe uses T'En trickery to seduce her; but Tulkhan's love proves stronger. Angered and betrayed by Reothe, Imoshen still cannot bring herself to forsake her fellow T'En. For Imoshen is hungry for the ultimate intimacy - the sacred mind-touch that she can share only with Reothe. It is a longing that could jeopardize her heart - and perhaps even the future of Fair Isle.' (Source: dust jacket)
