Elara is a serf who doesn't fit into her Village.  When forced to accompany a noble woman to her Uncle's home, the party is attacked by the Corscan soldiers. The Corscans do not let any enemy live during an attack and the only way to avoid death for a female is to be chosen as a prisoner bride by one of the soldiers.  When Elara is chosen by a Corscan soldier the story really begins.  I really, really liked the book up until Elara becomes separated in the Capital City of Corscan and my complaint after that point is the story seemed to be compressed and hurried.  While the rest of the story contained good character development and interactions, the very last rushed through a long time period and rushed through the climatic encounter between the two characters (I also was not convinced Elara would run away since she had been so stubborn and brave throughout the rest of the book, but it is a minor point).  I have not read anything like this story.  I enjoyed it and recommend it.
