The Blue Flame
Daradawn Series, No. 1

by Barbara M. Hodges



      For seven years, Kelsey Cafferty has lived in the world of Daradawn, helping protect the people, along with the Queen of Daradawn from the sinister Dirkk and his army of Ru-taha and Black Vipers. Now the rift that opened seven years before will be opening again, but instead of going home to her own world, Kelsey is sending the mage Peter to find and return with her sister Regan. As the Queen's Commander, Kelsey knows she will need all the power she can summon to fight the evil Dirkk and with Regan's magic, she believes they will have a good chance to defeat their enemy.

Regan has believed her sister to be dead for seven years until Peter comes to her with an amazing story of Kelsey being in another world, one straight out of childhood dreams and storybooks, and at first she does not believe him. That is, until she feels the unexplained need to follow him. Regan soon begins to learn that she has magic. With Peter's help, Regan will have to learn to properly use her magic to save her sister and the people of Daradawn.

This reviewer was completely captivated by this amazing tale of romantic fantasy. A rich tapestry, woven with smart detail, amazing characters and an equally amazing plot, The Blue Flame kept me completely enthralled. This is Ms. Hodges' first book in the Daradawn Series and I for one can hardly wait to begin reading her second book in this series, The Emerald Dagger.
