Summary: Enchantress on the Mountain
Comment: For many years there has been a wizard in residence atop Eld Mountain, living in peaceful contemplation with a group of magical heraldic animals. The last one called a reluctant princess to him with a spell, just as he called the animals, and before she died of loneliness and sorrow she bore a daughter. This daughter, named Sybel, becomes the wizard-in-residence, spending her long days conversing with the wise Beasts and never missing the company of humans. One day a handsome prince brings her a child; her nephew, in danger from political maneuvering. Sybel comes to love little Tam, but as he grows he draws her into the world that she has always ignored. There is danger there; Sybel is lovely and powerful and men covet both attributes. She loves Tam enough to release him to his destiny as Prince Tamlorn; in Coren she finds not only love but acceptance into a family. But across her new life falls the shadow of hate and revenge. Sybel finds no amount of power can spare you from your own humanity. As you might suspect, many readers have treasured copies of this book for years, and I suspect Stephen R. Donaldson of being one of them. Could WHITE GOLD WIELDER or DAUGHTER OF REGALS have existed without this book? It's a seminal work, a book of wonder that has inspired and taught all its readers. On one level, a fairy tale; beneath the surface, a story of choices and ethics. If you turned your eye inward, would you like what you saw inside your mind? Even atop the loneliest mountain in the farthest land, your own humanity will seek you out one day and demand an accounting.

Summary: A delicious story of magic, romance, and mythology.
Comment: Sybel, a young wizardess, lives on Eld mountain, with precious as well as dangerous mythological creatures she has "called", ignorant to the real world below her. Then, when she is brought an young boy by a handsome young man, she has no clue as to what to do. Soon she dicovers, deep inside, her mothering knowledge.
When Sybel dicovers the real father of the boy she decides she must give the boy back.
Sybel grows to love the the deliverer of the boy (Coren) as he comes back and pays visits to her. Then Sybel herself is called by a powerful magician working for the king and he almost seizes her mind.
Sybel then seeks revenge, and going behind Coren's back, plans a war against the king.
Truly a great book.

Summary: Not too shabby
Comment: I really enjoyed this book. The story had a little bit of everything... romance, fighting, fantasy, love, hatred, pride. In comparison with other fantasy novels I read, it is not the best or even on my top ten. Even though I enjoyed it, I doubt I'll ever have the want to read it again. I would recommend this book to anyone that loves fantasy with a touch of romance.
