This is a story about blood.
And love.
And the many things that lie between.
By her father’s wish, Lady Daylily is betrothed to the Prince of Southlands. Not the prince she loves, handsome and dispossessed Lionheart, but his cousin, the awkward and foolish Prince Foxbrush. As her wedding day dawns, Daylily flees into the dangerous Wilderlands, her only desire to vanish from living memory.
But Foxbrush, determined to rescue his betrothed, pursues Daylily into a new world of magic and peril, a world where vicious Faerie beasts hold sway, a world invaded by a lethal parasite.
A world that is hauntingly familiar.

The Most Complex Tale of Goldstone Wood Yet!!!!
By The Script Spinner
Goldstone Wood is not for the ignorant nor the faint of heart.If this is your first time entering Goldstone Wood…go and read the first five books of the series first! They will help prepare your mind for the most complex Tale of Goldstone Wood yet by far.Anne Elisabeth Stengl again weaves a compelling tale of love, sacrifice, courage, despair, darkness, hope, and triumph. Readers will be boggled by the vast and bizarre array of the denizens of the Wood, but even more so, by the way Time is handled. Once again, the author astonishes…first by taking the cold, often cruel, Daylily and the unremarkable Foxbrush as her main characters. But they are not the only characters, oh no. This story might hold the largest cast yet, drawing in beloved figures from all the books and setting them to their own important role.Mysteries left hanging will be answered. What happened to Lionheart after Moonblood? What is the Cren Cru, really? What happened to Sun Eagle after he vanished into the wood? Did Alistair ever find Mouse? Did the sylph ever get to grant Lionheart a wish? Why do Eanrin and Imraldera seem more distant 1500 years after Starflower than closer?Oh yes, it gets exciting.We have no lack of heroes or villains. The Cren Cru is a truly disturbing force. But the complications of each character and the depth they have is incredibly compelling.It is a dark tale, possibly the darkest in the series yet. There were times when “one didn’t want to know the end, because how could the end be happy?” (-Samwise Gamgee) But do not fear, gentle reader! For a new dawn will come, and the sun will shine the brighter!This is a story of revealment. Showing that even the most simple of people are much more complex than we could think. That who we see a person as is not necessarily who they are. That our true selves are most free in service To The One Who Names Us. That even the part of us we most fear can be transformed by our Prince into something beautiful.For all fans of Goldstone Wood, here is a tale from Here and There that you cannot miss!!!

Best Goldstone Wood Tale yet!
By Jenelle Schmidt: KING’S WARRIOR
I believe that laughter and tears are among the top compliments that can be paid to any story-teller.Shadow Hand brought me to both. I’m pretty sure I sobbed through the last…erm… five chapters. LOL But there were also many moments of lighthearted humor that made me chuckle.This seventh installment in Anne Elisabeth’s Tales of Goldstone Wood has soared into the “favorite” category in my heart. Moreso than any other of her books, all of which I have loved and enjoyed, this story held me spellbound. It wasn’t about characters I had expected. Daylily and Foxbrush had been so expertly woven into their roles as “secondary” and even “unimportant” in previous books, that I perceived them exactly as that. I looked upon Foxbrush with not a little disdain, and Daylily just seemed like a grasping, obnoxious, gold-digger. I didn’t really LIKE either of them.So it is with some surprise that I must admit that this book is, so far, my favorite in the series.Of course, that could be because I’m just a sucker for a really well-told redemption story.But I don’t want to give too much away.Suffice to say, that the book opens upon the morning of Foxbrush and Daylily’s wedding. But instead of getting married, Daylily flees the premises and plunges into the Wilderlands that she helped condemn Rose Red into just a few books ago.Lionheart shows up with a message for Foxbrush, who is really not having a very good day. Not only has his bride fled from him, but he is facing the prospect of becoming the ruler of a kingdom in dire peril of perishing. The Dragon’s Poison lingers, and trade has suffered, and the people are pretty much all-around depressed. But when Lionheart shows up and claims that he will find Lady Daylily and return her to Foxbrush, something snaps. Foxbrush decides that he will rescue Daylily himself, if only to have the privilege of telling her that he will, under no circumstances, ever marry her. (You can’t fire me, I quit!)And events unfold rather alarmingly from there. The Wood Between plays tricks as the space-time continuum gets twisted out of proportion and our heroes are separated not only by distance, but years. Foxbrush and Daylily are sent back into the murky past, while Lionheart finds himself in the not-so-distant future, where he must foil a plot to usurp Foxbrush’s throne and hold the line until Foxbrush returns… if he will ever return.And of course, we catch glimpses of Eanrin and Imraldera. Yay! Who pretty much ripped my heart out. But I’m not going to say why.Goldstone Imps. This book is a must read. And if you’re not a Goldstone Imp… this book is the reason you should definitely become one. These stories just keep getting better. Others have mentioned that this story is the darkest Anne Elisabeth has penned, and while I can see where they are coming from, I sort of disagree. It isn’t so much that it is incredibly dark, as it is just so much deeper than previous stories. (Not to, in any way, say that her previous stories are shallow!) It’s just that the depth and complexity of this plot and the depth and complexity of the characters will draw you in, dear Reader, and hold you fast until the final page.Definitely 5 Dragon Eggs for this one.***I should also include, as per FTC guidelines, that I received this book from the publishing company for a review. They did not ask for a positive review, merely an honest one. And though I love free books, my good opinion cannot be so lightly bought. :)***

Another wonderful book by Anne Elisabeth Stengl
By Amazon Customer
In Shadow hand, Anne Elisabeth transports you back to the Goldstone Wood for another adventure into the twists and turns of time, with fairies, kings and knights. Shadow hand is the story of Prince Foxbrush and Lady Daylily. Lady Daylily is not thrilled with the betrothal to Prince Foxbrush, when it’s his cousin Prince Lionheart that her heart belongs to. So, in that she flees on her wedding day to the dangerous Wildlands. The unlikely hero Prince Foxbrush pursues her in an effort to save the one he loves and his fate takes over leading him to his fate.As the sixth book in the series, you would think that as a reader coming into the series late you wouldn’t be able to follow along, however like the stories before all of the Tales of Goldstone Wood Shadow hand is written where it stands alone as a story. I think I will go back and read the other stories however, because there are references that I didn’t quite understand, but for for the story of Foxbrush and Daylily it was plenty of backstory within the story. I have only read the predecessor Dragonwitch thus far and I was able to enjoy this story without tapping into that knowledge. For those of you whom have never read the work of Anne Elisabeth Stengl, she writes with an almost song like verse that is a joy to read. The storylines intertwine and by the end of the story everything concludes, but you are definitely left wanting more. I definitely enjoyed the story and hope to read more from the Tales of the Goldstone Wood very shortly.
