December, 2008 Author's Backlist Teresa Noelle Roberts An escaped slave daunted by freedom. A nobleman fighting his destined birthright. Their love defies logic, but when the spirits of the land speak, you?d better listen. Nikos curses the day his brother died and left him as Lord of Thermanae. What?s an educated man to do in a place so backward his tenants expect the Lord and Lady of the estate to bring rain through sex-magic? Jaenna, a runaway Kulchu slave, curses the fate that forced her to flee a murderous master to the neighboring Soranian Empire. Freedom means frightening choices for a woman whose entire life has been spent serving men?s sexual whims, and she can?t communicate with the spirits of the land enough to work the healing magic that might earn her a respectable place here. The forbidden desire that burns between Nikos and Jaenna could save them both, if they see beyond what they think they know. But it takes desperate need?and advice from a madwoman who may be crazy like a fox?for Nikos to see that magic isn?t merely a metaphor and Jaenna to learn that love is the most powerful magic of all. Note: Rain at Midsummer is set in the same world as Lady Sun Has Risen and is part of the Seasons of Sorania cycle. Read an Excerpt Key: Click here for our ratings legend.
