  <default_description>According to legend, the last king of the Harshini sired a half-human child, known as the Demon Child, born to destroy a god . . . The Sisterhood of the Blade rules Medalon with an iron fist--an iron fist within the steel gauntlet of the Defenders, elite warriors sworn to uphold the sisters and keep Medalon free of heathen influence.R'shiel, daughter of the First Sister of the Blade, has pulled against the short leash of her mother ever since she was a child. Her half-brother, Tarja, is the dutiful son who serves as a Captain in the Defenders. But when they run afoul of their mother's machinations, they must flee for their lives. They soon find themselves caught up in the rebellion against the Sisterhood, though they revile their fellow conspirators heathen belief in the Harshini--a fabled race of magical beings thought long extinct. But then Tarja amp; R'shiel encounter Brak, an Harshini outcast, who forces them to face the most shocking fact of all: the Demon Child, thought to be nothing more than legend, may have been loosed in Medalon.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[This book was enticing and hard to put down once I read through the first few chapters. It's set in a fictional world that is warring between Atheists, Religious, and Pagans(Heathens). I felt deeply saddened at the fact that I had to read the last words, but I vowed to own the next book of the serie...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/21039226">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Fairly good start to a fantasy series.  It would have been better if recurring capture and escape of one of the protagonists had happened less often.  Hard to remember all the countries and their characteristics.  But definitely worth the read.  Looking forward to the second book in the series.  ]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Got to one part and I just couldn't read it anymore so I stopped reading it.  I was really bummed.  It had a good story and it was getting very interesting, but then the writer had to go and throw in a scene that I did NOT like.  I give it three stars because up until that scene, it was good.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I read that this was her first book, if so...bravo.  What a phenomenal book this was!  I really fell in love with the two main characters, R'Shiel and Tarja.  There are a lot of underlying themes in the book, and I am excited to read The Treason Keep, book 2!]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Interesting. I like sci-fi, but I felt no rush to have to read it to the end. I like children's lit. better. I liked the characters and I thought it was an interesting twist in using gods (think finicky like greek gods) and demons (non-evil). ]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I really enjoyed this book and thought it was a good start to a fantasy series. <br/><br/>I liked the different types of Gods and demons and the way they were used in the story. I will definitely be reading the rest of the series.<br/><br/>]]></body>
