      Synopsis

      SHE MUST CHOOSE BETWEEN HER PEOPLE AND HER FREEDOM...

      Xylara is the Daughter of the Warrior King, Xyron. With her father dead and her incompetent half-brother on the throne, the kingdom is in danger of falling to the warring Firelanders.

      Before she was old enough for a marriage-of-alliance, Xylara was trained as a healer. She can't usurp her brother or negotiate a peace--but she can heal the brave ones injured in battle.

      But not only her countrymen are wounded, and Xylara's conscience won't let Firelander warriors die when she can do something to save them. She learns their language and their customs and tries to make them as comfortable as possible, despite their prisoner-of-war status.

      She never expects that these deeds, done in good faith, would lead to the handsome and mysterious Firelander Warlord demanding her in exchange for a cease-fire. Xylara knows must trade the life she has always known for the well-being of her people, and so she becomes...

      May 10, 2009: I found this book refreshing and enjoyable. The main characters are Keir the Warlord who is powerful, honorable, intelligent and stubborn and Lara the Warprize who is gentle, caring, just as intellegent and just as stubborn. What makes their story so enticing is that Keir is tough and rough when he needs to be but so gentle and tender with Lara.

      The secondary characters are just as great and enjoyable. They help enhance the plot and make the main characters more interesting. I loved them all. My favorites being Gils, Atira and Simus.

      The author has a gift with words and she draws you into the two diifrerent cultures she has created (Xyians and Firelanders). I enjoyed this book very much and highly recommend it.

      I Also Recommend: Warsworn, Warlord.

      March 30, 2009: I actually fell in love with this book after reading it for the reason I became captivated with Lara and her high spirited ways and attitude. The book creates a world in which you enter during a time of war and peace settlements. The king, who is in many ways tyrannic, gives up his sister to keep his throne. XyLara only agrees to become the warprize to help her people and to do her duty, in the process of being a master healer. I definately rate this book a 5 for it's ability to captivate the reader so deeply, that the book becomes addicting and hard to put down.
