Well, here I thought I wrote a review for this book ages ago but it isn't here. Though I swear I wrote a novel for the review. So I guess I'll have to write it all over again.  Overall, I really enjoyed this book.  It acutally took me more than one day to read it. Even though it was long, it didn't seem like it.  The beginning of the story was giving a background to both of our main charaters, Kei and Arman.  This story was very well detailed.  I feel that Kei and Arman were meant to be together and I am happy they found each other. It wasn't a fast romance either, like most books I read.  I enjoyed that aspect. It took a while for them to warm up to each other and then for their relationship to grow.  It seemed more realistic.  They both made each other stronger.Kei, is a healer in his country.  He lives in a village with his sister. He was born gifted, with his special ability it makes him a great healer. Some people in his country are born with different gifts, very rarely is someone born with more than one.  Unbeounced to many others, he has another gift.  When word comes that the country from the south plan on invading and taking hostages, he volunteers to be one, leaving his lover behind. What he didn't expect was that becoming a hostage would forever change his life in more ways than one. He never expected to fall in love.Arman is a son of a high ranking politican in his country.  He was forced into a loveless marriage with a ungrateful woman.  I honestly didn't like her at all.  Not one thing about her didn't make me want to slap her across the face and throw her out the window myself.  I really felt bad for poor Arman.  He was truly a kindhearted man.  He had a male servant, whom he was very close with.  There were rumors about him and his servant.  Arman is sent to invade the country north of them and take hostages.  While he was invading a village before he gets to Kei's a tradegy strikes him, causing his very soul to break.  He is angry and spiteful and just simply loaths and blames Kei's country.Things happen and Kei ends up living with Arman.  Kei is very badly abused and goes through his own tradegies.  It was sad that they both had to have bad experiences to help bring them together.  But once they finally get together, they still have a long way to go to be able to stay together.This was a very good book.  It had me on edge the whole time.  I am very happy that I decided to read this book. I'd recommend to anyone.
