| Aric is a faithful servant to the king, for he is the King's Master
of Arms. Aric feels that he owes the king everything for he was
found as baby and nobody knows his caste. For Aric to advance all
the way to Master of Arms at such a young age and without being a member of the
high caste is a very great honor. What Aric doesn't realize is that
his king doesn't have as much honor as he does himself. When the king
betrays Aric and leaves him for dead, Aric stumbles on a witch. The
witch keeps him prisoner until he is healed, then orders him to
fetch a blue light from the bottom of her well. Aric realizes that
the witch is evil so allows himself to fall back into the well;
there he opens the blue light and out pops Blue. Blue is a demi-fey
and is part of Aric. Blue helps Aric to escape.
Aric has always been in love with the Princess Amery and decides to use her to take revenge on the king, but when Blue brings her to him he can't take her in anger. Amery has always been attracted to Aric and now that the king has ordered her to marry, she decides to give herself to Aric so that her first time is with someone she loves. Things really get interesting when Aric and Blue share the princess; since they are part of each other the princess is attracted to both. The three of them enjoy being lovers, especially Aric and Amery for they think this is all they will have, but Blue has some secrets and some very shocking plans. This is a very erotic and stimulating adult fairy tale, based on the children's story the blue light. I found this story steamy, hot and very exciting. This might be a novella but it doesn't leave anything out. You have all the suspense and eroticism that you could want, and the heat between Aric, Amery and Blue is intense and very special. I highly recommend this book especially if you want a fast story with lots of heat.
