    <![CDATA[Trained as a mercenary soldier, Darius Laris was a man of decisive action. He was also a man of compassion. Seeing a young slave woman about to become the spoils of war, he claimed her for his own. Marrying her before God and king, he made her a free and respectable soldier's wife. Brice Ashlyn was born a slave. Abused and beaten, she learned quickly to avoid being noticed and to stay away from men. When her master's walls fell to enemy forces, she ran, but not fast enough. In Darius' offer she found deliverance, but experience had taught her to fear power such as his. Could she trust in his protection, or had she traded one form of slavery for another?]]>

    <body><![CDATA[Once again, Rossano succeeds in pulling me into the world of her characters: this time, a mercenary named Darius and a slave girl named Brice. As in The Crown of Anavrea, the story begins with danger and intrigue, but unlike the former, this novella carries it through to the end.<br/><br/>The king...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/70244531">more...</a>]]></body>
