This story is very short, but is well written and worth the time investment.  Following the Queen of the Green Lands abduction, she is found by the Horse Master of her majesty' s stable and returned to her father. Five years later the Horse Master is asked to help her recover from the darkness that still haunts her and binds her magic.  He hesitates until he is told that because of the abuse her captor imposed, she craves pain, and others have already tried to help her and failed.  She is ready to abdicate the throne and he is their last hope.I really enjoyed this story. My only complaint was the abrupt ending. I am not familiar with the series, but had no problem following the storyline.  I would recommend and reread it.  I wasn't enticed enough by the descriptions of the full length books in the series to go further, however.
