Jennifer Ivy Walker creates a magical fantasy story in The Wild Rose and the Sea Raven. This beautiful fantasy novel captured my full attention from start to finish. Jennifer Ivy Walker infuses espionage, betrayal, love, magic, and danger throughout the story. The transitions were flawless. The end of the story left me yearning to read the sequel. I recommend The Wild Rose and the Sea Raven to readers who enjoy fantasy romances full of magic and strengthened by well-developed characters.

The Wild Rose and the Sea Raven is a captivating paranormal romance tale. The reader will absolutely become enthralled by this fascinating, exciting, and action-packed story. Walker created three plots that merged together easily. Each plot was intertwined with the others so intricately and seamlessly that the reader will be caught up completely within the pages. As each character is introduced, the author gives a solid enough portrayal to be able to visualize the character as they come to life on the pages of this book. The reader will fall in love with Issylte as she navigates her fate, beginning from her homeland of Ireland to England and then on the island of Avalon.

Exclusive Excerpt
Her
pulse quickened as Voldurk’s lips caressed her shoulder, nuzzling the crook of
her neck where his finger had sizzled her skin.
He
circled in front of her and retrieved a small flask from his pocket. She
searched his gleaming, golden eyes. The eyes of a dragon that smoldered with
passion. Liquid fire flowed through her loins.
He
handed her the small, black, stoppered vial. It pulsed with power in her hand.
“What
is this?” she gasped with a quick intake of breath. Her heart quivered
in her breast.
“Your
future, my Black Widow Queen.” He leaned forward to take the vial,
placing it on the table at her side. “The key to the throne of Cornwall.”
Morag
locked eyes with her golden dragon. Her mouth went dry.
Voldurk
raised her to a stand, a sly grin spreading across his darkly handsome face.
His seductive voice slithered into the shell of her ear.
“Wolfsbane.”
Her
heart fluttered wildly as he planted a lush kiss upon her eager lips. Morag
melted into his arms as her legs gave out. Power was a potent aphrodisiac.
He
carried her across the room. Stripped off her black garments of mourning. His
wicked lips scorching her icy bare skin, the golden dragon laid his queen’s
nude, quivering body upon the lavender scented bed. And engulfed her lovely,
lonely loins in the blazing flames of dragonfire.
Enthralled with legends of medieval knights and ladies, dark fairy tales and fantasies about Druids, wizards and magic, Jennifer Ivy Walker always dreamed of becoming a writer. She fell in love with French in junior high school, continuing her study of the language throughout college, eventually becoming a high school teacher and college professor of French.
As a high school teacher, she took her students every year to the annual French competition, where they performed a play she had written, "Yseult la Belle et Tristan la Bête"--an imaginative blend of the medieval French legend of "Tristan et Yseult" and the fairy tale "Beauty and the Beast", enhanced with fantasy elements of a Celtic fairy and a wicked witch.
Her debut novel, "The Wild Rose and the Sea Raven"--the first of a trilogy-- is a blend of her love for medieval legends, the romantic French language, and paranormal fantasy. It is a retelling of the medieval French romance of "Tristan et Yseult", interwoven with Arthurian myth, dark fairy tales from the enchanted Forest of Brocéliande, and otherworldly elements such as Avalonian Elves, Druids, forest fairies and magic.
Explore her realm of Medieval French Fantasy. She hopes her novels will enchant you.
