Though she's the daughter of the House of Xy and half-sister to the (incompetent and paranoid) king Xymund, Xylara has chosen to be a healer and, so far, she's been allowed to get on with it. She knows there's always the possibility of being dragged off into a royal marriage, however she never expected to be traded into slavery in order to protect the kingdom from the marauding Firelanders. She becomes the Warprize of Warlord Keir, stepping into a culture she knows nothing about. This is a romance as well as a fantasy and much of the uncertainly in Lara and Keir's relationship arises from a basic misunderstanding which is eventually resolved, but not before duty drags Lara in a different direction. I enjoyed this, but realising how many books there are in the series (six at present) I'm not going to get drawn into reading them all back to back.
