Review: Finally a historical worthy of Gabaldon fans.
Rating: 5 out of 5

I didn't want it to end.  This tale is like a beautifully woven tapestry of history, political intrigue, and romance.  Both writing and editing is top-notch and the story really grabs your attention and holds it through the entire book.  No sagging middle here, there's no time and so much going on.  Heroine Peridot is a refreshing mix of innocence, curiosity, and bravado and Hero Gallien is an understandably cynical, jaded, warrior.  I loved the subtle details and nuances that made the historical aspect believable while still highlighting the romance as the focus of the book.  This book is probably the best 99 cents I ever spent and I'm going to go back and download the rest of the series.
