Teryn has already lost one apprentice, and he�s been reluctant to get another one, even though he knows he must. When he senses a large amount of untrained power being used, he travels to the site and finds Jendaya fighting for her life. One look at her and he knows he�s found his apprentice.

First thing I have to say is that Teryn�s training methods initially didn�t make sense to me. Quite frankly it seems a bit staged that he had to immediately �control� his new apprentice with sex and that it was all part of training. The magic didn�t seem to be sex based so that kind of training method didn�t make a lot of sense. The passion between the two was somewhat forced at first, but as the book moves along I thought the relationship got a little better, but not like the overwhelming feelings I�m used to seeing in a romance, it felt like it was just convenient for them. Teryn was a bit one dimensional to me; I couldn�t get into his character at all. Jendaya was a strong woman who initially had to learn how to work her magic and survive her own, but by the end of the book seems very dependent on Teryn. All that being said, I liked the premise, I just didn�t feel the passion between the two like I thought I should.
