A Sorceress of His Own

Gifted Ones, Book 1

By: Dianne Duvall

Narrated by: Kirsten Potter

Since the day Lord Dillon earned his spurs, rumors of his savagery on the battlefield have preceded him into every room, stilling tongues and sparking fear. Weary of battle, he wishes only to find a woman he can wed who will approach him not with fear but with the tenderness that has been absent from his life for so long. Yet only the wisewoman seems invariably at ease in his presence.

For seven years Alyssa has been by Lord Dillon's side - counseling him from the shadows, healing him, and staving off the worst of his loneliness. Blessed - or cursed - with gifts that label her a sorceress, she is forced to conceal her youth and the love she harbors for him, leading Dillon and his people to believe she is the same wisewoman who served his father.

All is revealed, however, and passions flare when an enemy threatens Dillon's life and Alyssa sacrifices everything to save him. When Dillon discovers that the wisewoman is far from elderly, he is instantly entranced. And, as he and Alyssa work together to defeat an enemy bent on destroying them both, Dillon will risk anything - even the wrath of his king - to be with her.

"As in the best audiobooks, it's the joining of Duvall's carefully constructed romance and Potter's consummate voices that yields this excellent production." ( AudioFile Magazine)

Great book!!

Love Dianne's books! Truly looking forward to the next one!! Dianne manages to make me laugh and cry. Her characters are so diverse and Kirsten Potter is wonderful!!!

Excellent introduction to the immortal guardian series

I love this book. I wish it had been published as the first book in the immortal guardian series. However, because I had already listen to the immortal guardians series I was so excited waiting for the emergence of Seth in this book and was pleasantly surprised that Roland was included as a character.

I love how the characters are described and given life in the writing. Now I'm hoping that there's a next book that expands on the timeframe between this book and the immortal guardian series.

I love the narrator in the series. She does a really great job giving accents to the characters. She is really good at switching between narration description and the characters speaking.

Listening to these books always makes me wish that they would make it into a movie!!!!

Great read

I enjoyed this story so much that I hope there will be additional books to follow about the gifted ones.

Good and not what I was expecting!

The story was great and the characters were great. I was trying to figure out who they were in the present world of Immortal Guardians but that part of the story never came to be. Not disappointed though.
I can't wait to get started on book 2.
Kirsten Porter was awesome as always. completely appropriate and portrayed each characters flawlessly.

Best Medieval Paranormal Romance Novel Ever

I love Dianne Duvall's Immortal Guardian series, and Kjirsten Potter does a fabulous job as narrator, but this novel even exceeds them. I love this story! It is so well written and so well narrated. Lots of action, lots of romance, and lots of paranormal activity. Well done!
