I found this novel to be slightly different than some of Kathryn's other stories that I have read.  Don't get me wrong I loved the the other stories as well, but this one was a nice change.  It's not as battle heavy, and doesn't have the same court intrigue.  I find court intrigue sometimes wearying.The hero Tevin is for lack of a better word dreamy. He is a gentle giant; fierce in battle but tender in life.  He has a disabled daughter he adores.  And a sister that drives him mad but whom he loves deeply.  The Heroine Catina's story starts out very sad and tragic.  She is a character you come to admire for her strength, compassion, and how great a mother she is to her young son Hunt. This is a very character rich story as are most of Kathryn's books.  The minor characters are as delightful as the main are.  I love how this author makes her characters emotionally open. They love openly and grieve openly.  It helps me to connect with them.If you want a moving read, that keeps you throughly entertained READ THIS STORY.  If you are looking for a light humorous medieval story...this isn't it.  But who cares, don't pass this great story up! lol ;)I did notice some grammar and editing problems, but not enough to bother my reading.  I would reread this story again mistakes and all.BONUS: At the end of this book the author mentions that alot of her other books stem from this novel.  I loved knowing how they were connected,  and if you are lover of this authors books I'm sure you will too!!
