Summary: If I could give this book 20 stars, I would!!!
Review: Shannon Drake does it again with this extraordinary book! I absolutely loved this book. I felt so heartsick for Igrainia ans Eric, both at opposite ends of a terrible war and such heartache to overcome! I almost came close to tears when Igrainia was in the crypts, trying to explain her feelings to Afton. What a heartbreaking chapter! It was almost like I was there, that is how very well the book is portrayed. This is a keeper, and I will probably read it a thousand times! Now.......on to Jamie's story, The Lion in Glory!!

Summary: Great Book
Review: This was an excellent book however kind of hard to read at the beginning if you read the novel before this one which introduced Eric and Margot. In the prior novel, these two finally get marrried after being together for years. You get to see how Margot loved him unconditionally. In this book, Margot dies in the the beginning and he has to marry someone else for Scotland. I would not have liked this novel if Eric would have been lusting after the heroine from the beginning totally showing no respect to Margot's memory. This did not happen. He mourned Margot deeply but learned to go on and accept his new wife. This was so realistic and made this an excellent novel.
