A song of ash and moonlight / by Legrand, Claire,1986-author.;
"The Ashbournes' war with the Bask family is over. Kilraith's curse has been broken. But Lord Gideon Ashbourne doesn't want peace; he wants revenge. And the only thing standing in his way is his eldest daughter: the unflappable, tireless Farrin. But Farrin's composure masks a seething sorrow. Since her mother abandoned the family, Farrin's been their rock-managing her father's temper, running the estate, looking after her sisters. She isolates herself from anything that could distract or hurt her: pleasure, her own musical power, and, most of all, love. Enter Ryder Bask. In Ryder, an enemy turned reluctant ally, Farrin's stubborn strength has met its match. The man infuriates her. He's coarse, arrogant, stupidly handsome. He oozes sex, while Farrin can't bear the sight of her own naked body, and he brims with some secret anger that mirrors Farrin's own frustrated rage. Unfortunately, Farrin must work with every ally she can. The Middlemist is weakening, allowing passage between Edyn and the Old Country that throws both realms into chaos. Anointed magicians are disappearing in strings of violent abductions. A fiery Olden creature is stalking Farrin. Meanwhile, debilitating visions plague the High Queen Yvaine, and horrifying rumors tear across the world: the gods are not dead. They're waking up. And someone is hunting them. As Farrin and Ryder race to find stolen loved ones and stop Kilraith's demented machinations, an earth-shattering passion erupts between them, breaking down Farrin's protective barriers at last and allowing her to be wholly, unabashedly, herself"--
