Trapped in a necromancer’s tower on the longest night of the year.

Merek is a pillar of his country community and a confirmed bachelor. He had his chance at love, and he let it slip away. But he’s got friends, a faithful dog, and a snug home. Holidays can be difficult, but Merek knows how to handle loneliness.

When he volunteers to house-sit for a necromancer on the day before Solstice, Merek expects to be doing the job with no companion apart from his dog. He’s displeased to be trapped in the tower overnight by a sudden snow storm. However, everything changes when his old lover shows up on the doorstep.

Ian is cold and clearly afraid of something. Merek lets him in. That was his first mistake.

The kiss was his second.

📖 Story comment: Good pace, likeable characters, interesting plot
Merek (Sairis's friend) is "house sitting" Sairis's tower on Yule's Eve, while Sairis is with Roland in the Capital, when on the cold, snowy night Ian knocks on the tower door....

I liked the way Sairis's tower is warded and didn't let Ian in immediately and Pumpernickel's (Marek's dog) defences were up. I enjoyed this story - it felt longer than 3 hours and there was a lot packed into the last third of the book to make it feel like a full length book - well done!

🎧 Narrator comment: I enjoyed Kirt Graves's performance. He suits the characters giving them each their own voice and personality, has good timing, inflections and intonations and brings the book to life. His narration did not make me want to venture into the Haunted Forrest at night! (lol!)
