Eternal Love by Maggie Shayne

Two of Shayne's classic novels in one volume...

Eternity

But Raven could not save him from dying even as he saved her. Now, after years of loneliness, Raven has found Duncan—in the body of a man who has no memory of the past they share. As Duncan slowly reawakens to the power of Raven's love, they are once more endangered by the evil that tore them apart. Now, Raven and Duncan must prove their love—for all eternity...

Infinity

The only thing he remembers is Arianna, the golden-haired lass who touched his soul—and her treachery, which cost him his life. Yet Arianna has also suffered. Now she has finally found a way to bring back her love. But the dark power that reunites the two threatens all they hold dear, and Nicodimus and Arianna will have to confront their tortured past if they are to renew their passion for infinity...

RRAH's THOUGHTS AND PONDERINGS: Top Pick

Surely a reissue of two such passionate, groundbreaking and spellbinding novels, Eternity and Inifinity, put together in ETERNAL LOVE can be considered a treasure. I consider them such, and cannot believe this is my first time reading either of them since they were originally released in 1998 and 1999, respectively. And while the two stories are most certainly entwined, they are both superb on their own with extraordinary teachings of love, truth, and forgivness.

The dedication in the front ETERNAL LOVE serves as a reminder of just how much bigotry and hatred have shaped the world. It also serves as a reminder that those who have fought for a different world, one where kindness and love truly can make a difference, will not be forgotten. After that touching dedication, Eternity and Infinity contain such symbolism, messages of hope and eternal love that it makes this book one that will always have a place on my keeper shelf.
