Blurb:

Award-winning  fantasy authors Shannah Biondine and Sheri L.
McGathy team up again,  delivering twice the mystical adventure
in this enthralling duet, Twice  Upon an Eventide. Here are
faraway worlds of danger and intrigue, where  dark mirrors hold
strange and dark secrets.

A Varlet's  Bond

Captain Praxis, wyvern rider, former slave turned royal reeve  and
bounty hunter, has never forgotten her brief partnership with
Prince  Zavend of Glacia. Years have passed and now find Praxis
a wealthy woman and  sometime comrade of Zavend's
disreputable brother, Vitus. A twist of fate  draws all three back to
the heart of Glacia, where an evil is spreading  across the land.

Can anyone or any sworn oath be trusted? Will Praxis  find her
heart soaring higher than a wyvern or crushed once and for  all?

Summersong

Summersong, a magical border Keep created to  maintain the
fragile peace between Man and Faery, has lost its glory,  its
grandeur, and its loyal guardians. The land is dark, filled  with
turmoil. Yet, one bright glimmer of hope still exists. Long  ago,
Myree, daughter of a proud nobleman, made a childish vow of
undying  love in a secluded garden to an equally as young
Connair. Now grown, both  have not forgotten their pledges.

When Myree is abducted into a realm  of shadows, Connair risks
everything in his quest to save her and recover  the heart of
Summersong.

Twice Upon an Eventide contains two  superbly woven fantasy
tales of magic, intrigue, and suspense. If you  haven't read
Biondine and McGathy before, this book is an excellent place  to
start! Very enjoyable and highly recommended! ~ Jeanne Allen,
author  of Orphilion Dreams
