Tredan's Bane by Lita Burke is a fantasy story filled with suspense, intrigue, and magic. The constant attacks from the Church force the Enchanters to escape. Tredan, Lanith's husband, has also vanished. Both her shop and home have been burnt. She seeks the Enchanter Nyle's help to search for Tredan. They find Tredan's journal where he has written down spells that will ruin the Enchanter's magic. At the same time, an Enforcer comes in time to take Tredan's journal. Lanith should keep the journal away from the Church magician so that the Enchanters are not destroyed. Lanith is also overpowered by Nyle's charm and she has to resist him.
The story is very intriguing and, at the same time, exciting. The scenes are evocative and sensual. The Church is the dominating factor in this tale which has many ingredients. The author has woven a story of adventure, magic, romance, passion, intrigue, suspense, murder, and religion with expertise. The book is well written and it is action packed and fast paced. The author has done well in defining each character. The Enchanter Nyle's character is 'enchanting' and mysterious. Another exciting part of the story is provided by Lanith's pet dragonette who is also part of the main plot.
The tension between the Church and the Enchanters is palpable throughout the book. That gives tension and a unique angle to the story line.
