Wow - what a book! I am totally enthusiastic!

On this day it looks like all goes wrong for Deana Jones. First, she was fired from her job then she sat in something wet and smelling, her car was parked by two other cars so she couldn't leave the parking lot and only God knows why she bought this strange necklace in this much more stranger shop.

Finally, at home, after that terrible day she wants to relax with a cup of coffee but what is this man doing on her couch? Long golden hair, a cape with a lot of strange symbols on it and with lavender eyes. He doesn't look like a burglar. Then Deana knows: a friend has played a joke on her because on the next day she wants to visit a science fiction convention. But why must this unknown man claim to be an alien with the name Lorgin ta'al Krue from planet Aviara, star system Tau Hydra, knight of the Charl?

Lorgin is traveling through time and space on a very special mission. He doesn't know why he stopped here by this woman -- on planet Disney World. This is what Deana told him because she couldn't believe he is an alien. But Lorgin can prove his statements. He claims to be her protector. What should Deana do with this man? The trip to the convention has been booked for months so she has to take him with her.

Of course, there happens a lot of embarrassing situations when Lorgin uses the restrooms at the airport or then he causes turbulences between the flight because he has the Power of the Four. That means powers over earth, wind, water, and fire.  And later also at the convention -- in the evening when Deana wears her new necklace he celebrates a strange ceremony in his alien clothes and then he travels with Deana into another universe.

Here on Ryka twelve Lorgin wants to continue his search for the differences in time and space. And another shock waits for Adeeann (this is the name Lorgin gave her) then she finds out that she is married with Lorgin now because in this strange ceremony she took his blade and gave it back to him. And she had worn the Shimalee (the necklace) which has magical power and it helped Lorgin to return to his world. Here on Ryka twelve they also meet Yaniff, Lorgins mentor and teacher and Rejar, his brother who is a shape-changer who can transform his human body into a cat.

Like Lorgan had to learn a lot of new things on earth Deana must find her way in her new life. She finds out that people travel from one planet to another through time/space tunnels. Together all four continue the search.

Because Lorgin is a very good looking and sexy alien, soon Deana becomes his real wife. But there is one thing that she can't believe, that she should be the right woman who has magical powers over the Shimalee.

All four have to overcome a lot of hair-raising adventures till they find the bad guy.

An absolutely fantastic book! I can't wait to read Rejar the story about Lorgins brother. Dara Joy wrote a wonderful story.   It has been long ago since I laughed out loud or that I have sighed and wished the story would never end while reading.
