Publisher Description
“Vaughan’s brawny barbarian romance recreates the delicious feeling of adventure and the thrill of exploring mysterious cultures created by Robert E. Howard in his Conan books and makes for a satisfying escapist read with its enjoyable romance between a plucky, near-naked heroine and a truly heroic hero.”—Booklist
The daughter of a Warrior King, Lara was trained as a healer. With her father dead and her incompetent half-brother on the throne, the kingdom is in danger of falling to warring Firelanders. Unable to depose her sibling or negotiate peace, Lara serves her people by healing the warriors—on both sides of the conflict—who are injured in battle.
Lara finds herself educated in her enemy’s language and customs in return for her attention and compassion. She never expects that her deeds, done in good faith, would lead to the handsome and mysterious Firelander Warlord demanding her in exchange for a cease-fire. To save her land and her people, Lara trades her freedom to become the Warprize.
Customer Reviews
Better than I expected
This was refreshingly better than I expected it to be. Granted there was some modern language in it but overall it was a good story with a very good editor! I am pleasantly surprised and will seek out other books by this author.
They are truly a “prize” to each other!
I really enjoyed getting to know the different characters in this book, and hope to finish the rest of this series! Keri, the Cat, is such an interesting contrast to Lara. A merging of their different cultures has been interesting to read.
Enjoyable read
Plot was simple; nice characters and ending.
