Donata has been living with her own issues. Her lovers Peter and Magnus disappeared from her life abruptly. Then she is being courted by a mysterious business man. The business man is not what he appears to be and is trying coerce Donata into providing something she doesn't want to give. Reluctant as she is to upend her life further, she doesn't feel that she can turn Magnus down.

Magnus takes her to his hometown in Maine where his clan lives. Many of the people in the Ulf training are seeing ghosts, which is causing injuries. He also hopes she can convince Odin to return to his people. Donata's unique abilities to speak with ghosts and her ability to speak with gods will both be needed.

My first introduction to Deborah Blake was one of her Baba Yaga books. She is a master storyteller who is able to combine fantasy seamlessly with reality. Her books have the ability to transport the reader to a world populated with gods, goddesses, and all manner of unique races. I love Ms. Blake's stories. The books are intense, but manage to maintain a level of levity which enhances the experience. The characters are well-rounded and interesting. The magical elements are blended in with such deftness that the world is a pleasure to visit. VEILED ENCHANTMENTS was so fascinating that I went back and read the first two in the Veiled Magic series.
