Due to his visions the Gods assign Sky Rider Ian Olympus to travel to the outer realm in order to find and return home with the sacred chalice of Aelynn. He also knows that French revolutionary musician Chantal Orateur Deveau, who possesses the chalice is his soulmate; having seen her in a vision and kept that lovely sight in his dreams.

Ian arrives in dangerous Paris where the Revolution has taken hold. He finds his woman who quickly reciprocates his attraction. However, before he can return home with the chalice and his soulmate, someone steals the cup as the streets turn deadly and bloody. Afraid for Chantal's safety Ian must choose between the quest and the woman he plans to marry although he fears his people will reject her as his "amacara"

The second Mystic Isles tales (see MYSTIC GUARDIAN) is an engaging romantic fantasy in which French Revolution plays a powerful perilous backdrop to the encounter between the lead couple. The story line is fast-paced from the moment Ian knows who Chantal is, but though she reciprocates struggles to persuade her they belong together. Readers will appreciate this entertaining quirky tale of love amidst the quest for the chalice while revolutionaries are shouting off with their heads.

I love P. Rice and I am trying to read these in order. This one is a little drawn out and long. I hope the third one is a little more conclusive.

Ian Olympus had visions of his soul mate long before he met her. On a mission to find the missing chalice that is important to the survival of his home, Ian was unprepared to finally come face to face with the woman who was made for him.

Chantal Deveau is in possession of the cup Ian seeks and she is not about to give it away freely. Needing the cup to save her family, Chantal finds her life is very involved with this stranger who appeared on her doorstep. Both Chantal and Ian find their missions to save their families and homes in danger when the cup is stolen from them.

Mystic Rider is an interesting story. Ian and Chantal have many obstacles and hurdles to fight and over come. Their families and homeland is in danger and Ian is afraid that he may lose his soul mate not only to the dangers of the streets but also to his homeland rejecting her as an outsider. This is definitely a fascinating story, there's a very eclectic plot to Mystic Ryder that held my interest from start to finish. Followers of the Mystic Isle series will enjoy Mystic Rider.
