I really liked this magical elven story about Loren, an amnesiac elf bard and consort, and his singing that was a lifeline to his lover, Alastair the King of the Elves.

The author did a good job of conveying Loren's melancholy and longing for things that he couldn't really remember, and his longing for the mysterious man in his dreams. ( )

This short story has the feel of a dream...dark and lonely...elusive, with information coming in snippets, only as required. Although it is perfect as is, my greedy soul wants more! ( )

This short story almost reads like poetry. Slowly developing, with a deep sense of mystery, it's about a young man who cannot remember where he comes from, or even his name. His nightly dreams of a lover haunt him, and while he slowly remembers more each morning, he also gets weaker every day. The focus of the story is on him figuring out a way to help himself, since none of those around him are ready to do so.

Living without an identity is hard. Eden has shown us a little bit of what it may be like to suspect parts of your past, but never quite being able to get there. If you enjoy stories with a mystery to be solved, if you believe love is able to overcome anything, and if you enjoy a slowly flowing story with a focus on the characters trying to understand himself and his past, then you will probably like this one as much as I did.
