"action, mystery, and a fantastic love story"

Since the age of nine, Liane has been in Cardrak prison, and the punishment she received during her incarceration has left her terrified of the dark. After eleven long years , Liane's people, the Reeka's, learn that she is not dead, as was thought. The Reekas are a race of warrior women who were falsely declared outlaws, but with the aid of the people of Daamen, cleared their name. After Liane's release is arranged, her cousins send a band of Daamen traders to fetch her home. Unfortunately, Liane is barely holding on to her sanity and doesn't trust easily. Borga, one of the Daamens, takes a special interest in Liane, and she seems to be coming out of her shell. However, danger lurks in the form of unknown enemies.

Ms. Verdenius should be ashamed! I had to stay up well past my bedtime to finish this great book. SOUL OF THE FORGOTTEN has wonderful characters, action, mystery, and a fantastic love story. Liane has to overcome many demons in order to trust, and give Borga a chance. Borga is a large, handsome man whose world comes to center around Liane. As for the secondary characters, the Daamen traders all would make great heroes, and Liane is lucky enough to be surrounded by several. What woman wouldn't want to be rescued by Daamen men, these men are seriously hot and are loveable characters-- if a little overprotective. Woven throughout SOUL OF THE FORGOTTEN is an intriguing mystery, and I hated for it to end. I'll be waiting impatiently for Ms. Verdenius' next book.
