Opis

Never tell anyone what you can do. . . .

Lynet had already decided to leave, when the Watchman came thundering into the valley, on errand from the king, to discover the truth of the rumors:

"A plaga norn has come to Nororlond,
a plague witch who brings only death."

Lynet could have escaped, could have plucked the life from his strong, beating heart. Desire stayed her hand and a vague hope that the battle-honed Watchman could help her tame her ruinous magic.

Together they become outlaws, staying one step ahead of the king's men-until misplaced trust rips Lynet away and sends her hurtling across the barrier that divides Nororlond from the modern, non-magic Outside world.

Stranded in a bustling, unfamiliar city, Lynet has no memory of the Watchman or of her devastating power-and no memory of the dangerous stranger who hints that he can restore her memories and take her home . . . for a price.

WATCHMAN'S OATH is a contemporary fantasy spread across two worlds. Full of magic and myth. Romantic sword and sorcery at its best.
