Synopsis
LEGENDS…
They called her lady of Frost, a fabled beauty whose allure no man could resist; yet neither could any breach her icy reserve.
She called him Lord of Nothing, a knight with no land, no family, only a name made great by song and story; a name as a lover unrivaled who could win any maiden, yet never lose his own heart.
OF THE FALL
To each, romance was a game, a contest of wit and will, a match to be wagered upon and won at any cost. But in those dark days of shifting loyalties and twisted secrets, seduction was far more than courtly ritual. It was an all-or-nothing play for power in which one misstep could bring a fall. And falling in love was the most dangerous thing a woman could do.

If I could give this book zero stars, I would have.by Anonymous

December 16, 2008: I've read one other book by Claudia Dain and was hoping that this one would be as good. It was not. The interactions between the characters are absurd and so much of the plot consists of irrelevant descriptions of mundane tasks. The dialogue is written in a poor attempt at period-authentic speech, which makes it difficult to keep up with the plot, such as it is. The characters are not likable or relatable. There is no tension or passion between any of them. There is no romance in this romance novel. The heroine chooses to have sex with the hero just hours after her brutal rape and while I know that one must suspend one's disbelief when reading fiction, that is just a bit too far-fetched. I really hate it when I waste my time and money on things like this.

July 18, 2008: Approximately eleven of the twenty-four chapters were filled with nonsensical conversations between all the characters. The characters never truly developed any consistent qualities. Just when I thought the story was beginning to develop the heroine was brutally raped on her wedding day by the villain. This was an unexpected and not very creative twist in the story.
