Book Description

In a land filled with turmoil, an exile and an orphan become caught in a prophecy older than time itself. Robert Douglas, Earl of Dunlorn, returns to Lusara after three years only to find his country caught in the tyranny of the Guilde. And, even as the vanquished people cry out for a savior, other cataclysmic events unfold--events that will determine the fate not only of Lusara, but of the whole world. Robert, who possesses magical power greater than any before him, must now make a choice: to remain true to his vow never to oppose the usurper king or break his promise, assume responsibility, and save his beloved homeland. Then he and his brother rescue the orphan Jenn and discover in her a new kind of sorcerer--one whose talents may be as great as Robert's.And, with Jenn come new possibilities.

5-0 out of 5 stars Astounding, wonderful, incredible read
This is truly the BEST book(and series)ever written. Kate Jacoby is extraordinarily talented, managing to turn the written word into an art form. She somehow combines just the right mix of description, imagery, dialogue, plot and action to create a clear and interesting world. She manages to convey the setting and surroundings clearly without resorting to massive information 'dumps' common with other writers I have read.
But aside from her writing talent, the story itself is wonderful. Set in another land in medievil times, there are sorcerors, kings, swords and oaths, all woven together in a complex and intriguing tale, that has many layers but is easy to follow. Jacoby has created a whole host of characters, and although it can be hard to remember who is who at first, they are all extremely well developed and created.
The main character, Robert of Dunlorn, is one of those strong, intense, 'I-know-something-you-don't-know' types, and is ofcourse tall, dark and handsome. You just can't help but like him.
This book is, for lack of a better word, perfect. It has everything you could ask for: great dialogue, characters, interseting plot with depth and even some love interest thrown in. Every true fantasy book fan should read it. I am only sad that Kate Jacoby is not more well-known.

5-0 out of 5 stars An exciting story
A bit complicated but very intriguing storyline.
As always, the novel have no "real" conclusion - with meaning keep reading sequel, then 3rd book, etc. But almost everyone does the same lately...
Anyway, I still like it a lot.

4-0 out of 5 stars Spellbinding
Although slow to get started this book soon drew me into its characters' lives and webs of intrigue. The characters develop marvelously throughout and when I reached the end of the book, I immediately had to get the next installment of Elita just to sate my curiosity. Of course, Jacoby has done a wonderful job to make sure that your curiosity won't be sated in the least until, I'm sure, the last installment in this wonderful series. For a debut novel Exile's Return isn't bad at all. ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars amazing
this book is great, and they just came out with a new cookbook called horizons: new vegan cuisine. hopefully they start selling it on amazon so not only the privleged that live near the restaurant can get it!!

5-0 out of 5 stars Wonderful!!
So creative and inspiring, yet fairly easy to execute.The tofu "salmon" is a must!

5-0 out of 5 stars Best vegan cook book ever!
I bought this cook book after my first visit to Horizon's cafe when it was in Willow Grove, PA. The food was so good, I knew I had to have the recipes. I have made several items from it now, and I have yet to be disappointed. Many of the recipes include seitan, so if you aren't a seitan lover, many of the entrees won't be appealing. I've had meat eaters prefer my vegan jerk chicken wings to the real thing!

5-0 out of 5 stars great
Thia cookbook is easy to follow even for the newer vegan/vegetarian.The results are great! ... Read more
