Summary: a classic that stood the test of time
Review: During the reign of Ivan the Terrible as Czar of Russia, Mongol Banyan Amur rapes Cossack Katerina "Kat" Vaschenko. She hides the incident from her family; however, she is caught in a naked embrace with a Russian emissary trying to obtain horses from the Cossacks. Her father believes that Kat has sold the horse breeding secrets in exchange for a little flesh. Kat becomes isolated from her clan which turns out to save her life when a dastardly raid by the Tereks kill her entire family and steal the prize horses. ...... Kat vows revenge and journeys across the Ural Mountains to ask her uncle, Khan Afstar for his help. Once she arrives at his camp, she meets Banyen, who fails to recognize her, though she knows who he is. Afstar gives Kat some prisoners, and assigns Banyen's men to be trained as Cossacks so that they can help regain the lost horses. Though the return trip is treacherous and the training potentially dangerous, Banyen and Kat fall in love with each other. However, this is not the land of TV's Luke and Laura. Instead, a rape, an insane Czar, and a herd of horses stand in the way of a lasting relationship. ..... This is a reprint of a 1978 classic, written under a different name by the renowned Fern Michaels. Two decades later and this classy historical romance passes the test of time with high marks because the reader can still taste the various ethnic cultures that made up Eastern Europe. .......Harriet Klausner

Summary: Cry, but don't be ashamed
Review: This book makes every pore in my body want to cry. It's a battle of wits and pride between the heroine (kat) and the hero. It is by far the best book written by Fern Michaels. It takes place in an interesting time nad makes you wish you a bystander to watch all this happen. Read it!
