Xylara is the Daughter of the Warrior King, Xyron. With her father dead and her incompetent half-brother on the throne, the kingdom is in danger of falling to the warring Firelanders.

Before she was old enough for a marriage-of-alliance, Xylara was trained as a healer. She can't dethrone her brother or negotiate a peace--but she can heal the brave ones injured in battle.

But not only her countrymen are wounded, and Xylara's conscience won't let Firelander warriors die when she can do something to save them. She learns their language and their customs and tries to make them as comfortable as possible, despite their prisoner-of-war status.

She never expects that these deeds, done in good faith, would lead to the handsome and mysterious Firelander Warlord demanding HER in exchange for a cease-fire. Xylara knows must trade the life she has always known for the well-being of her people, and so she becomes the... WARPRIZE.

Muito bom!

Sou uma fã de livros de fantasia, com heroínas corajosas, guerreiro apaixonados e mundos diferentes. Peguei para ler por conta da capa que achei linda e me dei muito bem.
Gostei do enredo, da construção dos personagens principais, secundários e do mundo de Keir e Lara, amei a Lara, forte, mas nada parecida com as guerreiras do povo das Planícies. E o Keir (suspiros!!!) perfeito. Eu realmente não me importaria de ser seu prêmio de guerra (risos!) Vale a pena ler com certeza. O problema é que infelizmente até onde eu sei não foi lançado no Brasil. Eu já comecei a ler imediatamente o próximo e estou gostando muito, depois eu conto o que achei.
