So you have Dragoon Captain Jon Wester a.k.a. "The Stallion" exiled along with his Queen and people under the King usurpers rule.Jon draws comfort from his arrangement with Derrick Rees who works as a clerk for the local Stephanite bureaucracy. He feels more than friendship and attraction for "The Swordsman".Jon is described as a strong and sensitive soul with aching wounds. He is the epitome of masculinity: buff and hairy. He is dark haired amd blue eyed.Derrick is described as polite with a quiet exterior who has a passionate and proud heart. A mix of strength and softness. He is a red head with green eyes.Derrick dreams of another dark haired man with gold eyes and an olive complexion. He has told Jon of his dreams and need to find and help this man. Jon fears for his sanity.One day a storm sets events in motion that propel them into a new world, where a battle has engaged and they're caught right in the middle with a enemy from their homeland by the name Aubren.Derrick's focus however is only on finding and saving his unknown mate from danger. Derrick shows a fierce, strong and sure nature when he has the "fire" in him.Teri is the prince his people search for and current prisoner of Kar-Set, formal general to the Kingdom of Damerya. Teri held no interest to me even though he is vital to the story and how it develops. He almost appeared to be an afterthought or third wheel which Jon is painted to be more like but is not. Jon stands out the most to me, in addition, to Kar-Set.Kar-Set and his interactions with Aubren fascinated me, although, I'm still unclear about his betrayal and  end goal.I really enjoyed this story and look forward to see how the plot progresses and the character relationships do as well. My rating was actually a 3.5. but I rounded up.
