Book Description

November 28, 2000
The enchanting blend of passion and sorcery that has won Glenna McReynolds such high accolades weaves its unique spell once more in this new novel. Here is a one-of-a-kind reading experience, bringing together a thief and a princess on an
unforgettable journey toward danger and desire....

Prince Of Time

He's the last thing she expected--and she has waited for him all her life! Ten thousand years ago it was written that her barbarian prince would have the powers of a mage, the heart of a warrior, and the courage of a saint. Instead she gets a mercenary thief with a fondness for off-world wine and the vice-filled dens of the Old Dominion! How can the sacred prophecy be wrong--or is there more to this man than meets the eye?  

Lady Avallyn, Princess of the White Palace, has little choice--and no time--to ponder the possibilities of a mistake. She's the one woman with the knowledge to save a twelfth-century mage whose demise turned the earth into a barren desert. And there's only one man who can take her back into the past: the charismatic thief who may or may not be the fated Prince of Time.  

Morgan ab Kynan knows nothing of the ancient prophecy, only that he was wrenched from his own world and thrust into a future where he has a price on his head. Set upon by a pack of bounty hunters, the timerider finds himself saved by the most extraordinary woman, a golden-haired beauty in tattered black robes. Now they're bound together--literally--by the tracking bracelet she slapped around his wrist.

He is hers--for the moment--but who is really the captive and who the captor? For even without the bracelet, their fates and emotions are bound together by something greater.

The reluctant thief and the resolute princess now must travel back in time, followed by a ruthless villain who wants them both dead. Morgan and Avallyn will need more than skill, courage, and magic to survive in the ancient past, where the greatest enemy of all awaits them at journey's end--Dharkkum, the devouring darkness of a lost age. They will need faith in each other...and a trust born of a passion willing to sacrifice
everything--even life itself--for love.

Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

An energetically paced and entertaining hybrid of SF, fantasy and romance in the tradition of Anne McCaffrey, McReynolds's tale of a medieval Welshman stranded far in the future who must help a desert princess-priestess return to his time to banish a black hole wields dramatic power. Morgan, an accidental time-rider who learned to survive in the tech-heavy future as a quick-witted thief, brings himself to the attention of the wrong people when he steals a golden dragon statue. On his trail are both the fearsome Warmonger and the White Ladies of Death, the latter because Morgan is their Prince of Time, a prophesied warrior for whom they've waited 10,000 years. Luckily, White Lady Avallyn finds him first, but the explosion of attraction between Morgan and Avallyn catches both off balance. Their soul-deep connection becomes the only thing they can count on as the Warmonger chases them across the desert and into the worm hole that takes them to long-ago Wales and the seemingly unwinnable fight against the black hole. As she spins her rich story, McReynolds finely transforms Morgan from a Han Solo sketch to a man who's never fully recovered from being torn from his home, adding generous dollops of wry humor and sizzling action to keep the entertainment level high. The return to Wales two-thirds of the way through the action tosses in a dozen new characters that followers of her previous books (Dream Stone; The Chalice and the Blade) will be happy to see but newcomers will find bewildering, and Avallyn is gradually left with not a lot to do. Still, this is a vivid and enjoyable tale for readers who seek the magic of fantasy, the tech edge of sci-fi and the thrilling jolt of true love. (Dec. 5)

5.0 out of 5 stars Magicical, romantic, fantastic book!, December 4, 2000
By 
Patricia Feller (Dover, Ohio United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Prince of Time (Hardcover)
I was entranced by THE CHALICE AND THE BLADE, the first book in Glenna McReynold's extraordinary trilogy. Imagine my shock when one of my favorite characters, the dashing and engaging Welsh Prince, Morgan ab Kynan, was killed off in a particularily horrific manner! Or was he?

So often, when a writer does a trilogy, at least one book falls short. I am happy to say that Glenna McReynolds started out beautifully, and only surpasses herself with each book in this oh so carefully thought out and beautifully written trio.You can enjoy each story on it's own, but do yourself a favor and get the whole trilogy. For those of us who have been with these characters from the beginning, PRINCE OF TIME is a truly rich and rewarding finale!

Glenna McReynolds is an extremely gifted author. She takes us from the green mists of Medieval Wales to a world of the future where few have ever seen a living tree. It takes real talent to time travel convincingly.You can feel the heat of the desert, and smell the fresh wind of Wales here.

Morgan ab Kynan, a displaced warrior prince, makes his way by thievery and deception. Tortured by dreams of a past he cannot reach, he drowns his pain with wine. At his side is Aja, a boy whose life he saved, whose loyalty is unshakable.

Into their troubled lives comes Princess Avallyn, who has her own agenda.Though reluctant, Morgan and Avallyn must depend on each other.In the course of their adventures, they find the love both had thought impossible.Their destiny is to save the world, but will their love be enough to save each other?

This is as an exciting, fast paced, action packed book as you are likely to find. Lushly romantic, with the lyrical prose that McReynolds does so well, it is truly outstanding!

All the characters in this book are exceptional. Wizards, warriors, thieves, or princesses, each is memorable. "Dharkkum" is one of the creepiest, most malovolent, most imaginative, "bad guys" I've ever read. Hands and feet will definitely stay under the covers!

This is just a gorgeous book! It made me smile and shed a few tears. Also made my heart beat faster. What more can we expect?

Congratulations, and a great big thank you to Glenna McReynolds for this creative, fantastic book!

PRINCE OF TIME has a colorful dreamily romantic cover. Happily, the models for this lovely cover look just the way the characters are described. A big plus for this reader.

Give yourself an early Christmas present and take the PRINCE OF TIME home for the Holidays. It is not to be missed!

5.0 out of 5 stars GREAT! SENSUAL - Very Romantic with a good story!, February 27, 2003
By A Customer
I can't believe previous reviewers said this was not romantic or great. I was spell-bound throughout the whole book. This is an intelligent author that writes fascinating detail and storylines -- and it was a true romance. I have read hundreds of romance books and this is one of those very rare treasures that I am keeping. The 3rd in a series, I liked it best of all three.

5.0 out of 5 stars Supeb romantic fantasy, November 29, 2000
This review is from: Prince of Time (Hardcover)
To survive in this world that is almost a thousand years ahead of his birth year, accidental time traveler Morgan ab Kynan turns to thievery. In this highly advanced Technological environment, Morgan is quite good at his chosen occupation, which allows him to more than survive. He leads a small gang of felons.

However, his latest booty, a statue of a golden dragon brings Morgan to the attention of the wrong type of people for a thief in the night. Covus Gei, the deadly warmonger wants to kill Morgan because he believes the criminal is his enemy, the PRINCE OF TIME. The White Ladies of Death give chase too because they feel Morgan is their prophecy fulfilled after a ten-millennium wait. One of the White Ladies, a Priestess of the Bones, Avallon Le Severn, finds Morgan first. It shocks them both to find they are instantly attracted to one another. They must flee from the Warmonger who chases them into a wormhole back to his former time in Wales to hopefully fulfill his destiny.

PRINCE OF TIME is an exciting, non-stop blending of elements of romance and fantasy into a powerful tale that is more than the sum of its' parts. The story line in the future is cleverly designed to make Morgan a rogue struggling with his displacement. The return to the past is filled with action although Avallon, a powerful player in the future, all but vanishes from the screen. Still, Glenna McReynolds provides a wild ride that will please fans of all genres as she triumphantly completes her Celtic trilogy (see THE CHALICE AND THE BLADE and DREAM STONE).
