DESCRIPTION: In the year recorded in the Saxon chronicles as 449 AD, sixteen-year-old Prince Tryffin leads a band of warriors home after their first battle with the Saxons. They are filled with blood lust when Saxons (ten-year-old Aelfrida, her mother, and father) cross their path. The band slays her parents and she takes to the woods. When they meet again, seven years later, Tryffin's guilt turns to love for the silvery-haired beauty. Then Aelfrida's foster father attacks the prince. Tryffin spares the man's life for Aelfrida's hand in marriage. When she marries Tryffin to save her foster father's life, her plans to avenge her mother and father must be delayed. As her trust for Tryffin builds, Aelfrida must choose again and again between vengeance or love. |

REVIEWS: "THE FOX PRINCE is one of the best novels I have read in a long time. It is written with such excitement and reality, it is hard not to feel you belong with the characters. The descriptive writing makes the novel come alive. I am especially impressed with the strong characters of this novel, both male and female...Cornelia Amiri has captured the passionate love between two people many may not think would or should come together. Her marvelous writing makes you feel the passion and almost taste the kiss of this warrior prince." Reviewed by Dale Van Tassel for The Word on Romance "In
order to save her foster father, Aelfrida must give up her blood
oath, but she doesn't intend to give up her heart. While Aelfrida's
heart is conflicted, her body is not, responding with passion
to Tryffin's ministrations. For Tryffin, although he has Aelfrida's
passion, he continues to feel guilt over his coercion of her into
marriage. He offers to release her, but Aelfrida declines, knowing
from her conversations with Lamm that the Fox Prince is her destiny.
Ms. Amiri has written a charming tale, with equal doses of intrigue
and romance. The wisdom of the Druids and the forest, as well
as the love of her Celtic Prince, all join forces to convince
Aelfrida that her heart, as well as her destiny, lie with the
Fox Prince."

Excerpt: She turned toward the bed and gasped in awe for it was strewn with roses. "Nesta picked them for us," he said hoarsely. She strode to the large chest and picked up a silver bowl. She sat down on the bed and grabbed a long stem rose. Her slender fingers delicately peeled off a single petal. She let go. The red petal fluttered into the silver bowl. She cocked her head, her long shimmering hair rippled down her soft white arm. Gently, she plucked another red petal; it floated into the delicate bowl. Intimately touching only one petal at a time Aelfrida plucked every rose. After filling the bowl with a bounty of lush petals, she leaned down and deeply breathed in the arousing fragrance. Lightly Tryffin fingered the loose stems, lifted them off the bed, and tossed them out the small, high window. He turned toward Aelfrida. She stood before a large tub filled with clear water. Clutching the bowl she turned it over. Petals fluttered through the air and floated onto the rippling water. She gazed down at red petals drifting together. Breathlessly, she rose to her feet. She peeled off her blue shift with a lazy, seductiveness. |
