The Mage’s Gift
In Blood and Shadow, readers were introduced to a great cast of three-dimensional characters and a deliciously disturbed villain. In Flesh and Bone, the story continues as Sherakai dan Tameko discovers there is no easy escape from the tangled destiny laid out for him. With the last and most terrible gift he is given, Sherakai must use every skill and every talent to win his freedom or risk becoming a monster under the control of a madman. Even if he wins, will he be able to keep his humanity intact?
Robin was born into a family of bookworms who happily introduced her to all kinds of books—and then she had terrific teachers who encouraged her not only to read, but to write. Books opened up entire new worlds for her, and when she was growing up (still working on that) she would rather read than do anything in the world. The Summer of Reading happened when the television broke and there was a family reading marathon. The best summer EVER. She read historical and modern romances, mysteries, thrillers, fantasy, historical fiction, and the occasional horror. Fantasy, with its wonderful worlds and creatures and magic, captured her heart. Her love of words developed naturally into a desire to put her own on paper. She started with (bad) poetry, then leaped into novel-writing—and the rest is history!
