I am already a fan of Sara King fromAlaskan Fire (Guardians of the First Realm)andAlaskan Fury (Guardians of the First Realm).  A quality of her writing that I admire is her ability to bring the book into ever deeper layers, like a Russian doll.  Each time the book approaches a satisfying conclusion, I find my self stepping into a deeper story.  King resolves the princess' issues after being kidnapped and abused only to reveal the slave's personal issues with rape.  The princess' relationship with the slave approaches resolution only to open new understanding of her relationship with her father.  The result is a satisfying novel of length and complexity.
