Class/Genre: Fantasy Romantic Suspense Magic
ImaJinn, Oct 1999, $8.50, 264 pp.
As the First Daughter, Nerienne is a powerful individual. However, even she cannot defy the dictate that the Tiria of Gayome has declared that she marries the ruler of Teles. On the journey, Elasians attack Nerienne’s caravan. Though she uses her powers, it takes the assistance of an escaped prisoner, dreamsinger Durgan Ketassian to save her life.
Durgan loathes the dictatorial rule of the Tiria, who has condemned him and his peers to death for their dreamsinging talent. He knows that Nerienne is his natural enemy as the daughter of his foe. However, he cannot stop his attraction to her. Nerienne wonders who he truly is as she finds herself in love for the first time. Together, they can save a world and find internal peace and happiness. Separately, they will find a quick death at the end of the short and lonely trail.
DREAMSINGER is an entertaining fantasy romance that will provide much pleasure to sub-genre fans. The story line is typical for the genre but raised above the clutter by the numerous intriguing characters that seem genuine in spite of many of them containing magical powers or being an author-created species such as Nerienne’s companion, Bidge. J.A. Ferguson shows she is a talent that will be welcomed by fantasy and romance readers for her enthralling other world journey.
