"I gave up a world for you."
He glared at me, not giving me anything.
I kept right on going. "I thought, perhaps, when I learned I had powers, I might be able to use them to go home," his eyes flashed but that was all I got so I kept on going, "but not for good. My father isn't dead." Another flash. "He's alive and at home and living maybe with a fake Circe. He'll know the difference, though, I KNOW it. He's out of his mind with worry, I know that too. He's wondering where I am and if I'm okay and how to get me back. I also know that. I know that and I know that my life was good. I loved my life. I loved my home. I loved my job. I had a lot of people who loved me that loved me back." I sucked in a breath and then whispered, "But as much as your world scared me, as much as our practices repulsed me, I still chose you."
His torso jerked, it was almost imperceptible, but I caught it.
I kept at him. "I gave up my world for you, Lahn. I sat at your side through things people in my world would find loathsome and I did it with my head held high. I even felt 'pride' that I could endure, that I could be a good queen to you.......Everything I did in this fucking place, even before I fell in love with you, was for...fucking...YOU."

Il existe un monde parallèle où chaque personne a un alter ego. Ce monde n'a pas connu nos avancées technologiques et médicales et certaines contrées sont restées primitives. C'est dans l'une de ces contrées arides que se réveille Circé, au milieu d'autres jeunes femmes habillées de tenues singulières. Circe va vite comprendre qu'il ne s'agit pas d'un rêve et qu'elle est sur le point d'être chassée par une horde de guerriers redoutables. Les Korvhak ont en effet une coutume barbare qui consiste à lâcher les jeunes filles à marier dans la forêt et les chasser pour en faire leurs femmes. Malheureusement pour Circé, ces cheveux blonds font d'elle une créature irrésistible et plusieurs guerriers vont s'affronter brutalement pour la conquérir. Mais aucun guerrier n'est plus puissant que le roi lui même, Dax Lahn, et c'est en tant que reine des Korvahk qu'elle ressortira de cette épreuve. Nous suivront Circé dans ce nouveau rôle qu'elle apprendra à tenir malgré la différence de culture et de langage auxquels elle sera confrontée. La relation entre Circé et Lahn va se développer peu à peu sous le coup de situations cocasses jusqu'à ce que de profonds sentiments les lient.
C'est mon tome préféré de la série Fantasyland. De l'humour, de l'amour, de la passion, de l'action, le tout avec un soupçon de magie. Dommage qu'il ne soit pas traduit en français.

Résumé
Circe Quinn goes to sleep at home and wakes up in a corral filled with women wearing sacrificial virgin attire - and she is one of them. She soon finds out that she’s not having a wild dream, she’s living a frightening nightmare where she’s been transported to a barren land populated by a primitive people and in short order, she’s installed very unwillingly on her white throne of horns as their Queen.
Dax Lahn is the king of Suh Tunak, The Horde of the nation of Korwahk and with one look at Circe, he knows she will be his bride and together they will start The Golden Dynasty of legend.
Circe and Lahn are separated by language, culture and the small fact she’s from a parallel universe and has no idea how she got there or how to get home. But facing challenge after challenge, Circe finds her footing as Queen of the brutal Korwahk Horde and wife to its King, then she makes friends then she finds herself falling in love with this primitive land, its people and especially their savage leader.
