![]() ![]() I loved reading about Mel’s struggles to avoid capture at the hands of Shevraeth and the king’s other men. I don’t even care that this type of female protagonist is a fantasy trope, because I just love ‘em. Mel is my favorite kind of fantasy heroine: tough, resourceful, opinionated, and scared of being seen as vulnerable despite her deeply warm heart. Oh how I adore feisty heroines embroiled in duplicitous, action-packed fantasy political intrigues and romance! I wish I had known about this book earlier, for I have a feeling it will be one that I return to again and again for that magical dose of adventure, feminism, and romance. When, however, the dust of war has settled, Mel discovers that she just might prefer running and hiding across the countryside to save her life better than putting on the façade of gracious noblewoman in the new king-to-be’s court. ![]() Show More the Marquis of Shevraeth, a stoic man hiding quite a few number of his secrets. ![]()
