Wyldelock Talan De Croft was a powerful sorcerer by his own hand. After leaving behind a friend and a lover, De Croft journeyed into the Underworld where he sold his love for immortality. Upon his return, De Croft was sentenced to imprisonment in the bowels of his own castle by his best friend and battle brother, Dietrick Von Der Weilde, for impregnating his sister Sophia and leaving her in shame. Centuries pass as De Croft lies in wait for one perfect soul to be born, one who can break his sleeping bonds and return love to his heart.

Olivia Morgan’s life was filled with heartache and grief. Her father died of cancer and the town’s people ridiculed the Morgan woman as witches. In all respects they were just that, but Olivia was much more. Born with the mark of the sorcerer, Olivia’s future was predestined. Her virtue belonged to one man and man alone, William Talbot. But Mr. Talbot is more than meets the eye. Within the folds of his soul lies a sorcerer that fights to regain his humanity, but is hunted by one who wishes to destroy him and all who dare to love him.

Literary genius Ellen Ashe forms the age old legend of jilted lover, powerful magic, and immortality in the pages of The Sorcerer’s Mark. Wyldelock Talan De Croft is a formidable character whose flaws and indiscretions make him real and tangible. The guilt of his jilted lovers fills his every sense as he awakens from a long imprisoned sleep to seek out the one who will restore balance to his heart. Each and every page demands attention and if neglected the storyline temporarily falls out of sight. The passion between the hero and heroine is incomparable. The dialogue is written with such Shakespearean poetry. The Sorcerer’s Mark is how true erotic romance was meant to be written. I highly recommend Ellen Ashe’s The Sorcerer’s Mark for the grandest of romance collections.
