All her life she’s trusted her instincts—but now she must follow her heart.
Mira belongs to The Swallow Guard—an elite all-female bodyguard who protect the royal family. She resents her role, and has been planning her escape for years. But when her city comes under attack she finds herself on the run, and the unlikely protector of a spoiled and wilful princess. Despite her desire to look after … wilful princess. Despite her desire to look after herself, she finds she can’t abandon the girl.
Meanwhile, far to the north, an enchanter receives a chilling mission.
Asher belongs to the Order of Light and Darkness and spends his days healing the sick and injured. Yet when the head of his order commands him to track down the last survivor of a slaughtered royal family—and kill the girl and the woman protecting her—he finds himself in the role of assassin.
In an epic journey through the heart of occupied territory, Mira struggles between her instinct to flee, her urge to protect the gifted young woman who has come to depend on her—and her attraction to an enigmatic stranger who says he’s been sent to help them. Asher must also make a choice. Does he trust his instincts, follow his heart, and bring wrath down upon him … or does he follow orders and risk losing his soul.
If you like the fantasy romance of Radiance, the thrills of the Throne of Glass series, the epic adventure of Game of Thrones, and a fierce heroine, you’ll love Book #2 of the Light and Darkness series.

The Lost Swallow by Jayne Castel is a wonderful story to read. This is book number two in this wonderful series that I have fallen in love with from the very begining and I can not wait to read the next book in this series. I highly recommend this story to everyone who loves reading about fantasy and parnaormal romance as much as I do.

I didn’t realize when I picked this up that it was the second in a series. However, that did not hinder my enjoyment of The Lost Swallow. The references to the prior story were subtle and not a road block to the story line. I liked that we get Mira’s back story before she becomes a Swallow, how she ends up with her charge, and on the run. I expected little out of her charges character, but was delightfully surprised. Great character building and world building. A quite enjoyable good vs evil escape.

This was an awesome book that kept me interested from beginning to the end. The characters are very well developed and engaging. The storyline had an easy flow.
This is the second book in this series and is Mira and Ashers story. I really liked these two so much and thought they were great. She finds herself the protector and hes bent sent to kill them but when he finds them hes conflicted. Just really enjoyed the journey they went on and the choices they have to make.
After I finished reading the first book in this series, I voraciously read this one and omigosh, it just keeps getting better and better. This book is Asher and Mira’s story and from the time they meet, there isn’t a dull moment!
All Mira wants is to finally be free and to do what she wants and go where she wants. Against her wishes, she is forced to be a guardian to the Princess Ninia who ends up being more than what she seems! She needs to escort the princess to safety after their keep is attacked. Along the way they meet Asher who is an Enchanter of Light and although he was sent to kill the Princess, he just can’t do it!! Passion runs hot between him and Mira but neither thinks there is a future for them.
This series involves light and darkness, goodness and evil, creatures of the dark, twists and turns, etc. I do recommend this book!

The Lost Swallow by Jayne Castel is book 2 of the Light and Darkness Series.
This book was just what I needed to shake things up in my reading. I loved it! Jayne is a talented writer who puts just the right amount of description and flair into her creative storylines to put you on the front line to watch as the story unfolds. This is a fast pace action-packed mystical adventure with a wide range of well defined mystical and dark characters that will keep you rooted. Great read.
Happy Reading
