This is different from any romance book that I have I ever read. It is sexy and very original. Some might compare it to Game of Thrones; although the themes are different, they are similar in the gritty, realistic approach to character depictions and actions.It makes for a fun, fast paced read, with the protagonist, Melisse, developing from a lowly servant to a person of real power (she is given magic that is meant to destroy her after a sexual encounter with a demon-like man; she survives and masters the fire that burns within her while she is forced to flee her past life) .Speaking of demons, there are a couple monsters in this book unlike anything I have ever read before; their subplot and conflict implies interesting things to follow in future books . Overall, a great first impression of this author; it is highly recommend to fantasy lovers who appreciate sensuality combined with a real and powerful sword and sorcery story (nevermind that the Marechal is one sexy swordsman!)
