Warprize
The Warprize is a fantastic story, written, by Elizabeth Vaughan, in a series about Xylara (who likes to be called Lara).
"Xylara is a Daughter of Xy, brought up to do her duty to her country, her king and her people. Lara's father, the Warrior King Xyron, is dead and her incompetent half-brother Xymund is on the throne; she has chosen to serve her people as a healer, until she is needed to make a marriage of alliance. But the once-great kingdom of Xy is failing to the Warlord and his barbarian Firelanders, and Lara's brother Xymund is forced to surrender. The terms are fair: the kingdom will remain under Xymund's control, and the taxes and tithes are reasonable. All prisoners and wounded are to be exchanged unharmed. There is just one thing to ensure a true peace - no pillaging, no looting, no rapine - the Warlord has claimed tribute. He claims Xylara, Daughter of Xy, to be his Warprize...."
It is a fantasy romance book, full of little twists and a fantastic story that will keep the reader glued like it did to me.
I read this trilogy last
I read this trilogy last year and loved each book. I was sorry to see the series end. I can only hope that she writes more books for the series.
What an excellent author and she is an auto-buy for me!
