Description
What if looking at the face of the man you loved meant death? Years ago, warrior Durren Drakkonwehr was cursed by a mage. Now feared and reviled as the Shadow Man, he keeps to himself, only going to town to trade rare bloodstones--petrified dragon's blood--for supplies. Though he hides his face, he can't hide his heart from the woman who haunts his dreams... Needing bloodstones for a jewelry commission, Mirianna and her father journey across the dreaded Wehrland where the beast-men roam. When their party is attacked, only the Shadow Man can save them. Strangely drawn to him, Mirianna offers herself in return for her father's rescue. Living in the ruined fortress with the Shadow Man, Mirianna slowly realizes that a flesh-and-blood man--not a fiend--hides there in hoods and darkness. But are love and courage enough to lift the curse and restore the man?

“Please help us…I’ll do anything.”
“Anything?”
“Yes…anything…”
The Shadow Man was once a fierce warrior, but after losing a battle, a powerful mage’s spell has forced him into a life of solitude. Forever living in darkness and hiding away…for to look upon the face of the Shadow Man is certain death. But in dreams, a beacon of light in the form of a beautiful woman offers solace…she can gaze into his eyes and love the man behind the horror.
Mirianna travels with her father to seek out the Bloodstone, a rare gem made from petrified dragon’s blood. During their quest, Mirianna finds herself dreaming of a mysterious lover…a lover that leaves her desperate to see what is hidden behind the mask of darkness.
The Wehrland is a haunting mountainous region full of deadly beast-men known as the Krad, and home to the Shadow Man. Mirianna and her father find themselves at the mercy of the horrors of the Wehrland, and Mirianna bargains with the Shadow Man to spare her father’s life and take her instead. The Shadow Man whisks Mirianna off to his ruinous castle, and that is where true love proves to conquer all.
Bloodstone by Helen C. Johannes is an enriching fantasy adventure with the romantic theme of Beauty and the Beast. Would recommend to lovers of the fantasy genre.
