Publisher Description
All is not well in Xy. There is a faction of nobles who are plotting against the Queen and her barbarian warlord, heath. As cultures clash and tempers flare, Heath and the fierce Plains warrior woman Atira of the Bear must come together to fight the conspiracy... and to search their hearts for something deeper than raw passion.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
A barbarian woman and a castle guard find love amid political intrigue in this pleasant blend of romance and classic fantasy, the fourth installment of Vaughan's Chronicles of the Warlands (after Warlord). The queen of Xy is now the beloved bride of a barbarian warlord. In their retinue, Heath of Xy, son of the royal seneschal, woos the lusty warrior woman Atira of the Bear, whose dislike for city life and settling down amusingly recall male barbarian romance hero stereotypes. As Queen Lara attempts to regain control of the fractious nobility, Heath and Atira team up to fight conspirators and thwart assassination attempts while helping to lower the cultural barriers between the subjects of Xy and the warriors of the plains. Hints of the interesting plains culture will engage fantasy fans, and the protagonists' convincing chemistry will please romance readers.
Customer Reviews
Nicely done.
A good fantasy, a treatment of how bonds are interdependent and not just passion or dependency.
War Prize
This is very entertaining book. The small details fill in and keep you hocked as to what each person is really like.

I have read (and reread) this book, savoring the world and storyline that Elizabeth Vaughan has created here. I am eagerly awaiting the continuing saga of the people of Xy and the Plains. I recommend this to anyone who enjoys fantasy, romance, action and adventure.
