WARPRIZE by ELIZABETH VAUGHAN
|
Summary**2005 PEARL NOMINEE - BEST OVERALL PARANORMAL**
**2005 PEARL NOMINEE - BEST FUTURISTIC ROMANCE** SHE MUST CHOOSE BETWEEN HER PEOPLE AND HER FREEDOM... 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 usurp 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 she must trade
the life she has always known for the well-being of her
people, and so she becomes... The Warprize
