Ember Galenorn longs for a life less ordinary--less ordinary than spellcasting and hercoven can provide. She craves a different life, one of love. Not the mostskilled witch, she nevertheless gives it one good last try one fateful solstice night. What she conjures is the makings of any woman's dreams. Balder is a god fallen from grace and at themercy of the under lord Loki. When Ember pulls Balder from hell, Loki will do all in his vengeful power to smote the two from existence. Ember is torn between her duties as a witch, while Balder is determined to best Loki for grievous wrongs in the past. Will Ember and Balder come to a compromise? And will Balder come to realize the good fortune fickle fate has handed him?
Ms. Hatfield's debut is one forged on solid ground. Without a doubt, Ember's Desire is one of the most enjoyable short stories I have ever had the pleasure of reading.Hatfield has created two main characters, and one foreboding villain, that abound with emotion, conflict and a fiery passion. Engaging scenarios, one right after the other, kept me on the edge, needing to see where each went. A wonderful treat of a read that left me breathless for more!
Look for it in the Blue Moon Magic anthology and be sure to check out more enthralling tales in Blue Moon Enchantment. An added bonus is Ms. Hatfield's coming full-length debut, A Magical Encounter, coming in 2007 from Wings ePress.
