But when her father's keep is invaded and her brother's affianced wife stolen, she knows she is the only one who *can* rescue her future sister-in-law and if noone rescues the girl, her father will be held responsible--and it will ruin him. So she rescues the girl only to be shunned and sent away by her father. Trained by her grandmother and the mysterious Shin'a'in named Kethry, Kero becomes a successful mercenary. Her planned life get knocked awry when separated from her company in enemy territory. There, hiding from the "bandits" she encounters an unexpected ally--a Herald of Valdemar. After much tension and danger she and Eldan escape their own ways--and her life gets back on track. Years later, a captain of her own mercenary company, Kerowyn again encounters a Herald of Valdemar and her fate is changed--for there is a war brewing in Valdemar and Kero may be their best hope. 29234 5 2 1991 By the Sword (Kerowyn's Tale) (Heralds of Valdemar, #4) total:1978|5:36|4:38|3:33|2:1|1:0| 1978 8016 2355 40 28735 0886774632 9780886774639 1969 40 4.05 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1167955511m/28735.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/28735.By_the_Sword 5 1 false Thu Jan 22 22:00:14 -0800 2009 Sat Mar 14 22:50:07 -0700 2009 more...]]> 28735 0886774632 9780886774639 1969 40 4.05 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1167955511m/28735.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/28735.By_the_Sword 5 0 false Sun May 10 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Wed May 20 20:06:28 -0700 2009 Wed May 20 20:08:54 -0700 2009 28735 0886774632 9780886774639 1969 40 4.05 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1167955511m/28735.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/28735.By_the_Sword 5 0 false Wed Jul 01 16:32:46 -0700 2009 Wed Jul 01 16:35:50 -0700 2009 28735 0886774632 9780886774639 1969 40 4.05 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1167955511m/28735.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/28735.By_the_Sword 5 1 false Mon May 01 00:00:00 -0700 2006 Tue Dec 02 17:07:14 -0800 2008 Tue Dec 02 17:07:14 -0800 2008
