Fantasy fiction fans whom also love a steamy romance will flock to The Strangeling, an erotically charged story about a beautiful woman with the power to defeat the armies of the underworld.

Maerose is a lovely maiden who alone holds within her the power to overcome a terrible curse that will raise an army of the dead and endanger the mystical forest she and her fellow villagers call home. The curse revolves around a strange place called The Strangeling, where Maerose is called to engage in a ritual to unleash her power by mating with a man of faith, a man known as Bron.

But of course, dark and evil forces plot to stop Maerose and Bron in this titillating and highly descriptive fantasy story that offers up truly erotic sex scenes blended with nature magic and ancient wisdom. Author Saskia Walker succeeds at weaving powerful imagery with delicious romance. Fans of The Strangeling can also look forward to her next novel, due in late 2007, with the promise of more erotically charged fantasy that goes beyond the norm of romantic fiction.
