When Prince Caldwell
returns home to his estate, Black Rose, he is reunited with a woman,
Ylianor Meyer, who both he and his best friend, Chris, knew as children.
Unbeknown to him, his mother, Sophia once banished the nine-year-old
Ylianor from their estate, on account
of her mother's affair with her husband. So Ylianor's rather surprising
return rouses suspicions of her carrying with her an ulterior motive
that may not be in the Prince’s best interest. To complicate matters
further, the reading of his father's Will brings more unexpected news
and new problems the Prince's way.
Chris, now the Prince's lover,
is none too pleased with Ylianor's untimely appearance, nor is he
impressed with the way the girl enchants his lover with her beauty. But
is Chris worried for the right reasons or is there a darker side to his
love, which the Prince is yet to discover?
With a threat to Ylianor's
life hanging over her, the Prince decides to take her along on a trip to
visit Lord Fairchild. Unaware why Fairchild, the leader of the Council
has summoned the boys, the trio are thrown together on a perilous
journey of discovery where they must begin to mend their severed
connections and awaken special powers before they can finally understand
who they are, mind, body and soul.
Laura Tolomei builds a
seductive fantasy world rich in detail where the rules of sex and
relationships make for an alluring first book of a series. In a setting
that fits the characters perfectly, The Sex pledges the continuing
insight into a trio who all need each other, but are still learning
why.
I liked her occasional use of the contemporary
omniscient point of view. In addition, Laura's world building skills
made Sendar's feudal-like society with its destructive energy a real
treat for this lover of the fantasy genre. If there is one thing I
didn't like, it has to be the Prince's name, Duncan. Unfortunately
that's my own personal taste and bears little reflection on the author's
ability to write a damned good story, which I hasten to add, this is.
I love the
characters with their deep-rooted issues, and the hidden gifts they have
to learn to use. Where Laura will take this series, I cannot guess, but
I know I'll have fun travelling with her characters, as the Prince,
Ylianor and Chris discover what their new lives hold in the forthcoming
titles. Meanwhile, I'm left chomping at the bit for more, much like the
Prince's horse, Fuzeon, until 15th May, when book two is to be released. Not
too long to wait, but long enough!
