"The long awaited sequel to GUARDIAN OF HONOR!"

The Sorcerers have decided that it's time their own Exotique was summoned. The darkness is just getting worse and they need someone to help them battle it. The Sorcerers get together a payment to the Marshalls so they can summon the Exotique.

Meanwhile Marian Harasta keeps having very strange dreams that she simply can't understand. She knows she is very much tied to Mother Earth and constantly seeks knowledge and a way to help her brother Andrew with his MS.

Marian's Mentor Golden Raven mysteriously appears at Marian's house and tells her that she must do a ritual that very night. Marian had planned to anyway but this situation is just too strange. Then Marian's mother Candace calls and tells her if she wants the rest of her graduate school money she must show up at a fundraiser that Candace is heading up. Marian hates being blackmailed but knows she will keep trying to make her mother happy even though she knows she'll never succeed.

Then Marian realizes that the ritual is more important. She sets everything important to her in the middle of the pentagram and most especially her hamster Tuck before she starts the ritual. As she starts the ritual, she feels as if she is being pulled down a long corridor and something evil is after her. Then she loses Tuck in the corridor. Suddenly she is in a strange and different place with people all around her. Then the most dangerous handsome man appears in the circle with her as do others. What does this mean? What will Marian do when she finds out she may be Llandrana's only hope for battling the darkness once and for all.

As with GUARDIAN OF HONOR, SORCERESS OF FAITH had me totally engrossed. I just cannot get enough of Robin D. Owens' books. I find myself reading them much too fast but then when I get to the end, I am sad that I'm finished. Ms. Owens books hold a prominent place on my keeper shelf! As always, I eagerly await her next book!

Still, the Darkness will not be ignored, and a desperate Marian must offer the Sorcerers aid in order to keep alive the chance to return home. Because divided all will surely fall....
