Magic coursing through his blood, Dillon, son of Lara, Domina of Hetar, follows his mystical path to Hetar's brightest star. Belmair is a forgotten world. And, it turns out, his people's lost heritage. Summoned to marry the king's daughter and inherit the throne, Dillon discovers Belmair is beautiful, enigmatic and seductive?as is his strong-willed new queen, and the mystery lying at Belmair's heart.

A Love Unimagined

Cinnia, sorceress of Belmair, expected to claim her rightful place as ruler, not as the wife of a stranger chosen by Belmair's magical guardian. But the enchantment that seals a marriage of power and greatness soothes her wounded pride, allowing her to use her magical gift to uncover the darkest secret of a bright planet whose young women are inexplicably disappearing?.

She does it again!!!!

I've been a big fan of Bertrice Small since her first book and continue to be amazed at her wonderful stories! This one follows the Hetar series and I just loved it. Read it in a day because the story was compelling. She definitely is the best historical/fantasy/romance writer of our generation!
BRAVA!!!

fantastic romantic fantasy mystery

Being the offspring of two extremely powerful parents especially his mother Lara, the Domina of Hetar, Dillon is not surprisingly a very potent magic practitioner. He also understands his duty when the dragon of Belmair directs him to marry headstrong but beautiful mage Princess Cinnia; after that he is to rule Belmair.

Dillon and Cinnia prove much attuned to one another especially in the bedroom and even when they work royal dealings. Dillon uncovers a strange but powerful connection between Belmair and Hetar that concerns him, but not as much as the sudden serial disappearance of young women. The newlyweds diligently investigate in order to prevent any more vanishings, hopefully rescue the ladies, and stop the unknown culprit before further harm comes to the kingdom.

The latest World of Hetar tale (see THE DISTANT LORD, A DISTANT TOMORROW and LARA) is a fantastic romantic fantasy mystery as Bertrice Small shows her skills by effortlessly combining the genres. The amateur sleuth investigation into a world filled with magic strengthens the already robust passionate ties between the lead couple. Fans of the series will especially appreciate this excellent entry as murder, love, and magic mix perfectly together by master sorceress Ms. Small. Harriet Klausner

The Best Hetar Book to date...

The Sorceress of Belmair is the best book in the series for me. I enjoyed getting to know Lara, but this story touched a place in me the others did not. The relationship between Dillon and Cinnia really worked for me. They gradually got to know each other after being forced together, and came to love and respect each other. I loved the other characters popping in and out. In the guise of Fantasy, the plot was believeable and plausable. Nidhug and Cirillo's intertwined story was an added bonus.
I am not so much into the "sex" anymore as I am into the storyline and this book delivered (and for those into the sex...it's there too).
I give this book 5 stars and Bertrice Small **Kudos** for a phenomenal book!

A little disappointed. . .

Even though I enjoyed this book, I didn't think it was as good as the other books in this series. I think it's because I found Cinnia and Dillon to be very boring characters. Lara and the other characters (Jonah and his wife) were a lot more interesting. I'm looking forward to the next book. I think the books in the Hetar series are some of Ms. Small's best books.

I hope there is a good reason for the introduction of a new world...

I am a huge fan of Bertrice Small and the World of Hetar. The first 3 books of the series are well-written, and you don't want to put the book down until you finish the whole thing! However, I am really disappointed with the newest addition to the Hetar series. It's definitely not the best out of the 4.

Dillon and Cinnia's "love" was undeveloped and seemed unbelievable. An entire world was introduced without having much development. I couldn't have cared less about any of the characters or why the women were disappearing. The 2 things I found fascinating were the Yafir and the relationship between Nidhug and Cirillo.

I'm sure this book will be relevant to the next addition, but it didn't seem like much progressed. We find out a surprising bit of news that doesn't really faze the characters other than Lara. Things that would have made for great reading are swept neatly under the rug. And the ending just dropped off. I actually reread the last chapter twice just to make sure it was in fact the ending.
