I don't want to give the end away, but the part when they release them I found was very confusing. One thing that really bothered me is that it was very difficult for me to invision the dragons. The adjectives used for their description were too vague.The romance part was great though.

Rating: ![4 stars](http://www.reviewfocus.com/images/stars-4-0.gif) Summary: Enchanting Review: A wonderfully told story of romance, magic, and adventure. As an avid reader of Dungeons & Dragons books and historical romance this book fulfilled both "cravings".

Rating: ![1 stars](http://www.reviewfocus.com/images/stars-1-0.gif) Summary: Yuck! A big disappointment! Review: Even one star is too much!!! I'm usually a sucker for any magic and sci-fi stories in romance, but this one was hardly magical! There was absolutely NO MAGICAL POWER of any kind in the story! Ho-hum. Booorrrriiing!

The marauding Normans wanted the keep for themselves. The only residents to escape on that fatal night were the children of Merioneth. One of the survivors, Ceridwen, finds her life totally intertwined with her former home. The present Lord of Merioneth (renamed Balor) insists on taking the beautiful Ceridwen for his bride in order to harness the magic that she, unknown to herself, possesses.
Ceridwen's savior comes in the form of a disillusioned warrior who lost his faith when he became a slave in a Moslem household during the Crusades. Dain's only goal until he lost his heart to Ceridwen is to uncover the secrets of alchemy so that he can be rich. He is unaware of the powers residing just below the earth's surface until he falls prey to the same destiny that is Ceridwen's curse and hopefully her eventual blessing. Believing in someone again, Dain prepares to fight friend and foe to keep the Welsh maiden safe at his side.
Glenna McReynolds, known for her whimsical category romances, produces a stunning single title release that unleashes talents that have been hidden in the shorter formats of her previous novels. THE CHALICE AND THE BLADE is a bold epic romantic fantasy that incorporates real historical events and people into a legendary tale reminiscent of Shannara and Mithgard. This novel should not be missed by fans of Medieval romance or anyone who desires a well written lyrical work of art.

Rating: ![5 stars](http://www.reviewfocus.com/images/stars-5-0.gif) Summary: History Comes Alive Review: Glenna McReynolds makes history come alive in this great book of passion and magic. Set in 12th century Wales, the characters come alive, and you'll remember them for years to come. This was a book that was hard to put down, but like in any good story, there has to be an end. Too bad because as you read it, you wish that it didn't come to an end. Praise for Glenn McReynolds!
