Ms LaRoche has written a good story.  She can write action, and dialog equally well.  Her characterizations are spot-on.  Lenora is an admirable heroine, fighting for her life amidst the horrors of war and evil.  Wolfram is a slightly misguided hero, making some poor choices in the name of chivalry and love. The Prince is the personification of sadistic Evil.Although I have misgivings, I can recommend this book, but only to those who have no problem with a plot that is filled with graphic violence, sexual assault and marital rape.  This is not one of the throw-back novels to the 80’s where these themes were prevalent and routine, this is a new novel debuting in 2014.  Do I have a prejudice against this type of novel? Yes, I make no apologies, this is how I roll.  I sincerely hope that this is not indicative of the direction that Historical Romance is heading.
