Review
This book is a nice change from the ever popular supernatural/problem solving books currently making the rounds. It is a fantasy, mixed with historic fiction and a bit of romance (no sex). Seventeen year old Kestral has two choices, join the army or get married. Neither appeal to her. One day her path crosses with slave Arin, and you can guess where it goes from there. But, there is a twist and everything is at stake-will you keep your head or your heart?
Overall Book Score: excellent
