I love the scene in the first Tirien book where Elyseta and Rain meet.

I loved the ending for the Winter King, it just tied up everything nicely together- new start with the family and twin boys no less! And Khamsin gets to see her sisters and gets her summer garden recreated at WinterCraig. Can’t wait for to hear the story of her sisters continued!

There are so many great scenes, but one that always sticks out in my mind is when Ellie accidentally puts everyone at dinner under a lust/fertility spell. Including the King and Queen. And all the women become pregnant.

Ohhhhh im so glad this is the question my favorite visual from your writing is the story of the glass lake made my the tarien soul when he scortched the world. I tell it to my son as a bedtime story. Mini version. You got love and devistation and a visual of the glass lake. Ahhh. Best visual. EVERRRR! I even used it in my dungeon and dragons game. ( i know, im a nerd)

I’ve been meaning to take part in the countdown, and, of course, the first question I have to answer as an obscenely diffult.

How delightfully evil of Wilson-sensei. (I approve.)

It’s so very difficult to choose a particular scene. I’m not sure if I want to choose from the Tairen Soul series or the Weathermages…I’ll probably go with The Winter King. Storm is my favorite heroine to date.

Out of all of the scenes I would have to say I would choose the moment when, after Wyn confronts Storm in the Atrium, she confesses why she kept going back even though she knew it was forbidden.

Any scene between Wynter and Kham are my favorites.

There are so many, but that stands out for me is when Wynter takes Kham ice skating. That’s when I think he really starts to

When Ellie’s (coffie) is turned into elderberry tea. I was taking a drink of coffee and almost choked on it as I was laughing so hard.

Sorry for the accidental double post. I thought it had timed out when it went back to the same page instead on confirming the post.

I love the scene when Ellie saves Galen by the fountain. So exciting and I just adore Galen

Just discovered your books; am about 30% into The Winter King. Favorite scene so far is the scene where she is delirious with fever but causing intense thunderstorms. Vivid writing.

One of my favorite scenes from CL Wilson’s Lord of the Fading Lands series is when Ely heals Gaelen vel Serranos. I loved how she wanted to heal him and the vast power she showed in that scene.

Lord Death telling Ellie’s quintet that if they survived they owed him a year’s time on the training field and that they come prepared for pain

Nine days! So soon. My favorite scene from The Winter King is the probably the one when Khamsin is having a stormy day, and she hadn’t been present at dinner. Wynter goes up to her room and finds her outside in the rain. THAT scene is my favorite (or one of many). It’s so heartbreaking and so perfectly written. I felt her pain – and his – so acutely. There are many other scenes I loved (from other books too) but that one really stuck with me, more than others.

Thank you! Have a wonderful week. =)

oh wow so many to choose from. In LOTFL when Ellysetta says to Bel she will pray he be granted peace and happiness then touches him and heals his soul.
That moment shows us so much about Ellysetta. Her kindness, her strength and just a inkling if how powerful she is.
