Book 2 of The World of Hetar From the author's website:
http://www.bertricesmall.com/hetar.shtml

Five years have now passed since the Winter War between the Outlands and Hetar. But Gaius Prospero has not given up his scheme to become emperor, and unexpected tragedy causes Lara to once again heed the pull of her destiny. Finding herself across the sea in a secret new world known as Terah, she discovers that her magical abilities grow greater with each passing day.

Using her newfound powers, Lara lifts an ancient curse from the men of Terah, earning its ruler's gratitude -- and his deep and passionate love. Magnus Hauk has never known a woman like Lara, and his fascination leads him to venture back across the sea with her to prevent another war. There, however, the ruler of Terah learns that betrayal is an everyday commodity; nothing is exactly what is seems in beautiful, sinister Hetar. And the lovers attract the animosity of Prospero, a dangerous enemy to have. For power, dear reader, does corrupt absolutely.

Sending to Aramena. Enjoy!

Arrived today, thanks so much! And thanks for the beautiful bookmark!

I liked this one a bit more than the first book in the series, but I still didn't love it. I'm not of a mind to seek out the rest of the series, but if I stumble across the next book I will probably read it. I do find the world building fascinating, even if the characters and plot are not.

I was the last participant in Waternixie's Potluck Book Box Ray, and I'm now collecting names in the ring and ray forum to send the box out on another round of travel, and I'm adding this book to the box.
