Publisher's Summary

Immortality isn’t always a blessing...sometimes, it’s a curse! 

An old sorcerer is how everyone knows him, but Orrick Pendragon has only chosen to shape-shift into the image an old man because of his painful past. When he stole the Eternal Flame more than 100 years ago, he had no idea of the consequences of his action. Being immortal and also married, he had to watch as his loving wife grew old and died while he stayed young and continued to live forever. Heartbroken, he swore he would never fall in love again. But when Lady Hope appears at his tower door seeking his assistance to find the Eternal Flame, he's intrigued and strangely attracted to her. Against his better judgment, he finds himself shape-shifting back into his young and handsome form of Sir Rick. 

Lady Hope Threston arrives at Blake Castle as Lord Corbett's ward. However, it is only a ploy on her part to get what she wants. She's been betrothed to Lord Irwin, a blackhearted, greedy man. In order to convince him to break the betrothal, she agrees to help him find the Eternal Flame. However, she needs the assistance of the old sorcerer to do it. Lord Irwin wants to be powerful, invincible, and immortal, but all she wants is to be free. Then she meets the handsome Sir Rick, and magically, everything changes. 

Can an immortal man who is destined to live forever find love again with a mortal woman who is bound to die?

Immortality, blessing or curse

Orrick has been the Keeper of the Flame for so long that he now wishes for death. Of course, a beautiful woman can change all that but not without mischief, mayhem and a little magic. It wouldn’t be right if we didn’t come across a few familiar characters which is why I enjoy these books so much.

Loved it

Loved every second of it. I just couldn't put it down. This is the story about old Auric the sorcerer, but he shifts to his young self. It was nice having Corbett and Devon Blake back in the story. Their story was the first book in the first series Legend of the Blade. Ther narrator was brilliant. I love Kevin Green's voice. He has a different voice for every character. Now on to the next book of Second in Command. Alexander's story.

Orrick Keeper of the flame

Well, we had some mountain magic in this book. I am so glad that the brothers and sisters and their extended families follow from book to book. It is like having your family and friends with you. You know who they are and expect a way of life from them, and a caring as if you belong to them. Orrick has been in few books that Miss Rose has written and he is the teller of future events which are about to happen. In this book Orrick has a love interest, and wants to pass the eternal flame onto another person. Little Noah at six years of age was too young. So they needed Some one to stand in for four years. They chose a mad man. The narration was excellent and the story was perfect. Thank You Miss Rose for this wonderful book.
