For Janet Lee Carey’s Dragonswood, it was the heroine, Tess daughter of the Blacksmith who kept me reading beyond the first few pages. Sometimes it’s the plot, other times it’s the main character, and occasionally it’s the writing style. There are some things that draw you into a book when you start reading it. But Garth is the younger prince in disguise and Tess soon learns that her true father was fey, making them the center of an exciting, romantic adventure, and an ancient prophecy that will bring about peace between all three races – dragon, human, and fairy.” Tess, daughter of a blacksmith, has visions of the future, but she still doesn’t expect to be accused of witchcraft, forced to flee with her two best friends, or offered shelter by the handsome and enigmatic Garth Huntsman, a warden for Dragonswood. The kingdom mourns the dead Pendragon king and awaits the return of his heir the uneasy pact between dragons, fairies, and humans is strained and the regent is funding a bloodthirsty witch hunt, hoping to rid the island of half-fey maidens.
