Ilustration To Books The Silver Rose (The Dark Queen Saga #3)
From Brittany's fog-shrouded forests to the elegant dark heart of Paris's royal court, one woman must challenge a country's destiny-and her own dangerous fate.France, 1585. She is the youngest and most powerful of the "Sisters of Faire Isle," women known far and wide for their extraordinary mystical abilities. Skilled in healing and able to forecast the future of those around her, Miri Cheney has returned to her ancestral home to take refuge from a land devastated by civil war-and to grieve for her family, driven to exile. But she cannot hide from the formidable new power threatening to seize control of France from the dread "Dark Queen," Catherine de Medici-a diabolical woman known only as the Silver Rose. Miri has no choice but to turn to the one man she distrusts as much as she desires: Simon Aristide, the charismatic witch-finder who is now himself the hunted, and who has reluctantly made an unholy pact with Catherine. Miri must defy throne and family to save all that she loves most-and command a future greater than she could ever imagine.
Vibrant with stunning historical detail, alive with characters as richly passionate as they are compelling, The Silver Rose is a sweeping, exquisitely wrought tale from a mesmerizing storyteller.

I saw that many reviewers said this was their favorite in the series, but I didn't agree. Maybe it was because I didn't like Miri as much as the other sisters, or because I read them all in such quick succession that Carroll's writing started to grate on me.The book seemed a bit repetitive. I got tired of the internal monologues or Miri and Simon where they went on for paragraphs at a time about how they knew they couldn't have one another, and how could they ever move past what had happenedFrom Brittanys fog-shrouded forests to the elegant dark heart of Pariss royal court, one woman must challenge a countrys destinyand her own dangerous fate.France, 1585.

I found this book (the 3rd in the series) to be very slow paced. The Cheney sisters are wise women. In this one Miri, the youngest of the sisters comes into her own. Simon, the evil witch hunter aka her forbidden love since book 1, comes back to Fair Isle in need of her help. In the prior 2 books, Catherine de Medici was the sister's worst enemy between good and bad witchery, but in this book we are introduced to The Silver Rose. I won't go into much detail for spoiler alerts, but for fans of
Loving this series about the Cheney sisters. This one focused on Miri, the youngest sister, and her love/hate relationship with a witch hunter.
I don't know what to say, other than Susan Carroll has bewitched me. Kidding, but still. I had the first book sitting on my shelf for a LONG time, and after I finished I ordered the second off of amazon. By the time I was almost done with the second, I just bought the rest of the series. This book focuses on the youngest of the Cheney sisters, Miribelle and her attachment to the witch-hunter that has plagued both herself and her family. I enjoyed this book. I really did. The first is still my
The Silver Rose is romantic in a wonderfully old-fashioned way. This is a book to sigh over gustily.Witch hunter Simon Aristrid is weary from a life time of trying to fight evil. As the story opens, he is beginning to admit how harmful some of his own actions may have been. Lady of the Woods, Miri Cheney, is the youngest of three wise women sisters. She is unforgettably beautiful, good and innocent, and is living in a little cottage in the woods where she can speak to and heal animals.It is like
I'll give it a 4 1/2. I was hoping they would do a few pages on Henry of Navarre just to transition more between books but that kind of got jumped quickly (and since the book was already over 500 pages, I figured what's a few more). The book did have some good twists- normally I am the kind of person who can see things coming but I hit almost page 300 before I figured out who the Silver Rose was! Duh! Since I read parts 2 and 3 of the trilogy in like 5 days, you think I would have been able to
