  “Cabal is a tortured hero, and if you like those, you’ll love him - he is a good man who thinks he has lost what makes him a human being. As for Emmalyn, she's spunky without being annoying, strong and independent. It was a joy to watch these two fall in love. If you are looking for a great medieval, look no further than Lady of Valor” -All About Romance (Grade A / Desert Isle Keeper)
