Lakesedge was a magnificent read!!!!! It is Lydall Clipstone's debut book and I'm so impressed with this writers storytelling! And the cover was so hauntingly beautiful with its gothic scene with the beautiful woman at the bottom of the stairs looking up at the mysterious man hidden in the shadows at the top of the staircase.
It caught my attention right away and reminded me of the gothic romances I read as a young girl. Lakesedge is a hauntingly beautiful read full of magic and mystery with a monster who is said to have killed his whole family so that he might be brought back from the dead by the lord under. Rowan is the monster of Lakesedge and the corruption is getting worst and soon it will take over his body and soul completely unless he can find someone with great magic to push it back. When he goes to the village of greymere to except their tithe he see's Arien in Vair woods with the shadows and blackmails him and his sister Leta in to coming with him to Lakesedge. With no where to go Leta and Arien have no choice, its either go with the monster or stay and be outted by him. From the beginning Leta and Rowan are at each others throats and Leta fears that he will harm her brother. But when she see's what Rowan has had to endure to keep everyone safe and the true story behind the whispered lies she starts to have feelings for him and promises to let her brother help with his magic. But it turns out that Arien isn't the only one who has a gift but so does Leta in fact she's very powerful! She is linked to the lord under and if she wants to save everyone she will have to pay the ultimate price and when dealing with the lord under you'd better pick your words very carefully! Long ago she asked for his help to save her brother and it cost her her magic. Since then he has had a sick fascination with her and has been buying his time til she calls on his help once again. So when he makes another bargain with her what will it cost her! The lord under is tricky and this time he wants nothing more then to have Leta's very soul !!!! I can't wait for book 2 Forestfall to see if Leta and Rowan can finally beat the lord under at his own game! True love always finds a way!! I could go on and on about this book!! I loved it so much!! Until next time Luv's💕💋
