A lot of action, not a slow paced read at all.  Absolutely loved the heroine.I was confused on who the hero was supposed to be.There's Crispin...the villain is his "master". Crispin kills a Lord, then is given the lords home and land by his master. Master seems to alternate between sexual advances, hitting, even cutting Crispin while Crispin does nothing at all to fight back. Crispin is in love with heroine, but does nothing to try to win her.  Crispin stands behind the Prince, who he knows has hired an assassin to kill his brother, the King. There's just too much wrong here for me to like this "hero" in any way.Then there's Ethan. He starts out good. Angry at Crispin for killing his father (can't blame him), comes back from war to find Crispin now holds his home and land. He stands behind the actual King, and calls the others traitors.  He becomes hunted by the master, and raises a band of misfits to try to get his land back. He ends up being a guy who lets his pride and anger get in the way of what's right. Huh???Will I read this one again?  NO
