Gordath Wood by Patrice Sarath

The Blurb On The Back:

Into the woods.


Lynn Romano is a tough woman with a big job. As stable manager for Hunter's Chase, north of New York City, she manages horses that weigh more than a ton, have unpredictable tempers, and are worth more than most people make in a year. Emergencies are what she's paid for. When an earthquake tremor - almost unheard of in this part of the world - spooks the stable's most valuable stallion, Lynn decides to ride him home through Gordath Wood rather than try to load him into a van. They never get there.

Something has happened in Gordath Wood. The police think they have a murderer on their hands, but the truth is stranger than that. Lynn has stumbled into a hole between worlds and now finds herself in a world at war - a medieval society that doesn't have much use for women. Somehow she needs to keep herself alive long enough to figure out who the good guys are - and to find a way home.


The Review (Cut For Spoilers): )

The Verdict:

Although the romance elements failed to convince me, this is an entertaining novel, fast-paced and convincing in its depiction of war.
