Deverry Cycle

Book Flap DescriptionIn a world outside reality, a young girl's spirit hovers between incarnations, knowing neither her past nor her future. In the temporal world lives Nevyn, who long ago vanquished the maiden's hand in marriage and forged a terrible bond between three souls. Now he must atone the wrong of his youth.The entire premise of the series is also pretty interesting: a man and woman are constantly reborn and in each life somehow cross paths and fall in love over and over.  And who doesn't love a magical story about two lovers trapped in a cycle of rebirth - always destined to meet one another with each passing cycle? It’s a unique concept and the author plays with a lot of different themes such as rebirth, destiny, unfinished business, and soulmates. Romance and love is definitely a huge part of the whole series (and in fact, the whole premise of the series is hinged on it), but it’s not beat-you-over-the-head romance and it’s more of a romance of the soul - destiny if you will - than all-out raw physical passion, as many pulp fantasy novels love to depict.Lots of romance, betrayal, redemption in this one. Great for those who like romance fantasy or even something a little different.
