(Mass Market Paperback)
Lara is the Warprize
A powerful healer, she has sworn an oath of loyalty to Keir the Warlord, and his people. Now the Warlord and his chosen mate face enemies within the tribe and danger lurks on every hand as they journey toward Keir's homeland.
When they reach a village marked with the warnings of the plague, Keir forbids Lara to heal the sick, commanding that she not risk her own life. But both Lara and Kier are strong of will and neither will bend easily, even for love; and when Lara disobeys, she pays the price: both she and Kier are plague-struck... and so is their entire encampment.
In the midst of the dying, Iften, a rival warrior, gathers his followers and challenges Keir for the right to rule their tribe. If Keir, weakened by the sickness, loses -- he dies.
And so does Lara.
To save her love, her life, and her adopted people, Lara must find a cure for the plague -- and fully embrace her sworn role as Warprize to her Warlord.

I thought the first book was good. Well, this book was even better. I loved every bit of it. The ups and downs. It's a tear jerker. I sobbed like a baby at least twice.
Vaughan has created a wonderful fantasy romance novel/series. Her creativity of the two very diverse cultures (Xyians and Firelanders) are done excellently. She takes the reader on a journey that is intense, dramatic and very emotional. The main characters and secondary characters are all enjoyable. They all have different personalities that all kind of fit in place and enhance each other as well as the plot.
Great job Ms. Vaughan. I am so loving these books.
I Also Recommend: Warlord.

March 16, 2007: I don't give out 5 stars easily! This is book #2 in triology. So well written. What a love story. Couldn't put it down. Love how the author didn't focus on 'the romance.' Many other characters involved and they in no way detract, but contribute.
