Blurb
Wielding a trio of enchanted Elven weapons to battle a dark wizard and a legion of diabolical dwarves, Tristan is faced with the impossible choice between saving the woman he loves or defending his endangered kingdom. Inexplicably compelled to remain in the sacred forest where he hears the voice of her heart, the heir to the throne of Cornwall incurs the wrath and scorn of his army when he decides to hunt for his captive mate.
Her verdant magic greatly enhanced by the mystical Morgane la Fée, Issylte must summon a coalition of Naiad nymphs and celestial fairies to destroy a nascent evil as she fights to reclaim her rightful crown.
When the Black Widow Queen unites with a malignant menace and a ghost from Tristan’s haunted past, the Emerald Fairy and the Dragon Knight must ally with a triad of shapeshifting warrior tribes to defeat a Viking Trident and defend their trinity of Celtic kingdoms.
Interwoven fates. Otherworldly mates. Destiny awaits.
My Review
In the last book in the The Wild Rose and the Sea Raven trilogy, the Irish princess Issylte continues her journey in trying to defeat her evil stepmother, Queen Morag, and free the citizens of Ireland and Cornwall from Morag’s tyranny. Along the way, she encounters battle and bloodshed, kidnapping, magic, the loss of dear friends, and a long-awaited, nail-biting confrontation with the woman who has destroyed everything and everyone she’s ever loved. With Tristan, Issylte’s beloved husband, and their loyal friend, Lancelot, at her side, it’s not the question of if she succeeds, but at what cost.
Whew! Issylte and Tristan’s adventure finally comes to a triumphant end. As always, their chemistry and obvious love and devotion for each other and their friends were up front and center in this historical/fantasy romance. The book is pretty long, about 5700% on my Kindle, but I read it in one setting since I couldn’t put it down. Ms. Walker wrote fascinating, fully developed characters whose flaws, hopes, and dreams further the plot, and she set it in a detailed environment that made it easy for me to visualize the scenes.
The Emerald Fairy and the Dragon Knight is a wonderful conclusion to a trilogy that captures the imagination.

Author Bio
Enthralled with legends of medieval knights and ladies, dark fairy tales and fantasies about Druids, wizards and magic, Jennifer Ivy Walker always dreamed of becoming a writer. She fell in love with French in junior high school, continuing her study of the language throughout college, eventually becoming a high school teacher and college professor of French.
As a high school teacher, she took her students every year to the annual French competition, where they performed a play she had written, “Yseult la Belle et Tristan la Bête”–an imaginative blend of the medieval French legend of “Tristan et Yseult” and the fairy tale “Beauty and the Beast”, enhanced with fantasy elements of a Celtic fairy and a wicked witch.
“The Emerald Fairy and the Dragon Knight”—book 3 and the conclusion of “The Wild Rose and the Sea Raven” trilogy–is a blend of her love for Celtic legends, the romantic French language, and epic fantasy. It is a paranormal fated mates adaptation of the medieval legend of “Tristan et Yseult” (Tristan and Isolde), interwoven with Arthurian myth, dark fairy tales from the enchanted Forest of Brocéliande, and otherworldly elements such as Avalonian Elves, Druids, forest fairies, and magic.
Explore her realm of Medieval French Fantasy. She hopes her novels will enchant you.
