The Finest Line 1 – The Sighting

Tirsah lives peaceably with her clan on the island with her uncle serving as chieftain of their people. That is, until Benec returns. He’s been gone ten years now, but the ache of his leaving still burns in her heart. The scorching passion they once shared has turned to ashes, dry as dust and bitter as vinegar. Tirsah knows that Benec and his companion, the Prince Paedro, are up to something; she’s just got to figure out what it is.

They are welcomed to Kirree-on-Sea with open arms - well, everyone except Benec. Tirsah is decidedly unhappy to see him after their less-than-friendly parting. He’s journeyed back to the island out of service to Paedro. When Paedro makes a bet with Kirree’s chieftain that he can get Benec and Tirsah back together, what will the outcome be?

The Finest Line 1 – The Sighting is a tale of an amazing array of characters, among them a host of magicians, a wily and odd cat-woman, and a bored and wicked noblewoman intent on mischief. Willa Okati is one of my favorite authors, and this is a departure of sorts for her in the genre department. Steamy and soul-stirring, The Sighting chronicles the ebb and flow of the relationships of at least two couples and takes readers along on their struggles. Betrayal and malice also make an appearance, making The Sighting a suspenseful read. Other books are soon to follow in this new series by Willa Okati.
