Forgotten Sea

April 11, 2011
The fifth installment in Kantra's rich and sensual Children of the Sea series (after Immortal Sea) features selkie Iestyn, aka Justin Miller, living as a sailor and only slowly becoming aware of his heritage after a shipwreck that stole his memory, and fallen angel Lara Rho, who feels Justin's powerful energy and wrongly identifies him as another angel needing protection. After Lara's colleagues imprison Justin as a threat, she escapes with him to find his true home while they evade both her hidebound mentors and the demonic Children of Fire, who are drawn by the powerful erotic energies released in Lara and Justin's powerful lovemaking. Series fans will be intrigued by new details of the high-intensity, soap opera world. First-time readers will be able to dive in and enjoy the heart-pounding pace and the growth of the reckless but emotionally engaging characters.

On a mission to find other nephilim (lost children of air) before they become victims of the demonic children of fire, fallen angel and fledgling Seeker Lara Rho is drawn to itinerant seaman Justin Miller only to find he's not one of her kind after all--but he's not entirely human, either. Torn between loyalty and obedience to her group's controlling leader and the bone-deep knowledge that Justin desperately needs her help, Lara defies the Headmaster and flees with Justin on a treacherous journey to Maine--and the sea--in search of his people and his newly remembered selkie heritage. VERDICT Strong, appealing protagonists realize their linked powers as they fight for their lives and their futures against a cadre of vengeful, relentless villains, demonic and otherwise, in this beautifully written, exquisitely sensual, and action-packed story that delivers a tender, rewarding romance and beautifully meshes with the series. Kantra (Immortal Sea) lives in North Carolina.
