First off I want to say that I love this author and adore most of her stories especially the Medievals. But there was just something about this one...that just didn't feel right.Lets start with the good...it has a great plot, amazing hero, and very interesting secondary characters. The hero Fox is a giant of a man that is extremely intelligent, PATIENT, and thoughtful. KLV's stories are very character driven...even the minor characters are well developed. This story is no different. And I really thought the ending was beautiful.Now, the not so good...The heroine Morgan got on my nerves a lot, she was fairly high maintenance and acted like a child at times. She wasn't ALL bad she had some good traits...her fierceness and bravery were defiantly things I admired.  I thought the great grandmother (Fanny) was extremely selfish. I'm not going to say why because I don't want to spoil it for anyone that does read the story. I will just say I REALLY did not agree with one of her decisions.  Which brings me back to Morgan I don't see how she could admire Fanny so much.  Sure Fanny DID seem like an extraordinary lady, but she made some very questionable decisions that directly impacted Morgan's family. Everyone makes mistakes and I get that but I don't know...I don't think I could ever give up what Fanny did and I certainly don't respect or admire her for it.  Okay, maybe I am getting TOO deep here! ; )  Im actually a little surprised I didn't love this story more...I hope anyone that reads this review doesn't dismiss this author because she writes some REALLY BEAUTIFUL stories.  I recommend 'The Gorgan' or 'Archangel' as a great books to start with; then move on to her epics 'The Dark Knight' & 'The Wolfe'ENJOY!!
