I have a hard time swallowing the premise that someone not ever witnessing a war or siege would fall for a warrior as brutal as this one. Can't understand how Kelli could ever be the least attracted to man who orders the death of all children in each castle he takes over. The knights from the fallen lands skewered and displayed in the courtyards as birds peck away their flesh as they decay.  Then there's the matter of her best friend who's husband is on a pole in the courtyard, and who's newborn was killed by orders of the  dark knight. The book turned out to be interesting but too brutal for me.
