After being sold into slavery by her father and accused of a murder she didn’t commit, Tiadaria finds herself facing the executioner's axe. The only thing standing in the way is the village Constable.

After thirty years of loyal service to the Imperium, Royce retired to King’s Reach as the village’s Constable. He thought it would be the perfect place to rest, relax, and die in peace. He was wrong. In an unexpected complication, the slave with her neck on the block seems to possess the same magic Royce has hidden all his life.

Paying off Tiadaria’s bond, Royce takes possession of the slave. Now he must teach her to trust him, teach her to fight, and teach her about her unique abilities before they both run out of time. An ancient menace, the Xarundi, have returned. They are the most dangerous enemy humanity has ever faced, and they have a thousand years of bloodthirsty vengeance to exact.

5,0 su 5 stelle Lovely read!

A very good story indeed.
After reading through the whole book you come to terms that it is a sort of "high fantasy" book. Though it starts out as something else. Reading about Tiadara's slavery made this book very dark and cruel. If you have read any of Karin Slaugthers books you'l feel at home. Personally all i wanted to do was punch a wall (i did punch several walls actually..).

Still the first 9 (out of 16) chapters was original to me, and i've read quite alot of fantasy books. You can kind of compare it to "The legend of the seeker", but to note there is no romance in THIS book (haven't read the next book yet ).
The language isn't very.. fansy. It's alot more focused on conversations and an intense plot rather than beatiful sentences.

Something that did disturb me in this book is the fact that after the slavery and all the torment she's experienced she's still so very emotional. This seems to be the case in a lot of books with theese kind of scenarios, and to me it would make more sense if the person would become cold and unfeeling. Not sensitive. I understand that it's something that thrills the audience, seeing the caged bird fly. But honestly are there any books out there that portrays a different image? If so PLEASE recommend it to me!

First review i've done. Don't think i revealed any part of the plot that wasn't already in the plot summary. I'm amazed you've actually read this far!

I literally said out loud at one point "that's just stupid". The writing style is highly unpolished but the story managed to hold me until nearly the end.

I'm not typically a fantasy reader but I really enjoyed this book.

It was a nice change of pace form my usual reading. I didn't stop reading until I finished and immediately went to order the next two books (which I also loved).
My favorite part of the book was the way magic was presented, as it was something I had not seen before.

Tiadaria wächst im Niemandsland der Frozen Frontiers in einem kleinen Dorf auf, wo Frauen nur zum Kinderkriegen und Kochen wie Besitztümer behandelt werden. Als wäre dies nicht schlimm genug, verkauft ihr Vater sie in die Sklaverei. Eingepfercht mit ein paar anderen Sklavenmädchen, wird Tiadaria Opfer von Gewalt und Mißhandlung und findet sich unschuldig des Todes angeklagt auf dem Richtblock wieder, den Henker vor sich. Ihr Schicksal nimmt eine glückliche Wendung, als der Constable des Dorfes einschreitet, zunächst nur, um eine Ungerechtigkeit zu verhindern. Tiadaria wird jedoch mehr als nur eine Sklavin, die das Haus hütet...

Anfangs fällt es schwer, in die Handlung hineinzukommen; zwar steigt man gleich mitten in die Geschehnisse ein ohne langen Vorspann über die Welt und ihre Gesetzmäßigkeiten, dafür kommt die Geschichte umso brutaler daher. Eine Story mit einem Schwerpunkt auf Brutalität als vorrangiges Handlungselement ist nicht unbedingt attraktiv, wenn man auf der Suche nach guter Fantasy ist. Zunächst bleibt außerdem offen, ob die Gewalt von einer schnellen - und eher unpassenden - Romanze zwischen der trotz aller Ereignisse unschuldigen Tia und ihrem deutlich älteren und desillusionierten Retter abgelöst wird.

Diese Befürchtungen zerstreuen sich im Lauf der Story jedoch schnell, auch wenn einem einige andere gängige Elemente sehr bekannt vorkommen. Wie in vielen anderen Fantasy-eBooks, die sich derzeit auf dem Markt befinden, geht es um die Reifungsgeschichte einer jungen Hauptfigur; immerhin geht es im Gegensatz zu den anderen Geschichten um eine junge Frau und nicht wie meist sonst um einen jungen Mann, der seine magischen Talente und seine Kampfeskünste unter der Obhut eines älteren, strengen Mentors entdeckt.

Das Verhältnis zwischen Tia und Royce, dem von Narben gezeichneten Kriegsveteranen, gehört zu den Glanzstücken der Geschichte. Tia ist nach allem, was sie erlebt hat, sehr mißtrauisch und in sich gekehrt, und der eher schroffe und unwirsche ehemalige Kapitän der imperialen Garde tut sich sehr schwer, sie aus der Reserve zu locken. Dass er über besondere Fähigkeiten verfügt und er auch einige Kostbarkeiten in seiner geheimen Waffenkammer versteckt hat, ist keine wirklich große Überraschung, liest sich aber sehr flüssig und unterhaltsam.

Als ein besiegt geglaubter Feind das Imperium bedroht und Royce zur Rückkehr an den Königshof zwingt, schlägt Tias große Stunde. Leider begeht sie einige dumme Fehler, die schon sehr einfältig wirken; auch ihre zur Schau gestellten Kampfeskünste wirken etwas gestellt. Wie der Kampf ausgeht, kann man unschwer erraten, trotz einiger trauriger Momente, die sich früh im Verlauf der Handlung abgezeichnet haben.
Was mich neben der Vorhersehbarkeit der Handlung gestört hat, ist eine weitere taktisch unkluge Entscheidung Tias, die sie aus Stolz heraus fällt und die sie vermutlich im Verlauf der Fortsetzung teuer zu stehen kommen wird. Außerdem wären trotz des Verzichts auf eine überlange Einführung einige Hintergrundinformationen zum Weltaufbau und Magiesystem willkommen gewesen und hätten sicher zur Lebendigkeit und Farbigkeit der Geschichte beigetragen und diese so aufgewertet.

Insgesamt kein schlechter Start für einen Serienauftakt, auch wenn einige Elemente Fantasy-Fans deutlich an andere Serien wie z.B. den Codex Alera erinnern dürften. Dies wird durch die flüssige, kompakte Handlung und den hohen Spannungsbogen zu einem großen Teil aufgewogen. Die Fortsetzung, THE DARKEST HOUR, ist bereits veröffentlicht.

4,0 su 5 stelle Really enjoyable and worth a read

I really enjoyed this book. It has a few shortcomings, but overall it was an engaging and enjoyable read. From some of the more critical reviews there are a few valid points. The story does seem a bit underdeveloped, which should actually be encouraging to the author, as we the readers are saying we like this story, we just want a little more! A few reviewers complain about the lack of description, but I didn't mind. I much prefer a story of action than long descriptive paragraphs about architecture or décor etc. etc. I thought it was descriptive enough. A few reviewers felt the battle scenes and the lead up to the battle were a little thin, and in this I would agree. A writer has a fine line to tread here. You want the lead up to be gripping enough to provide the tension a story needs, but sometimes authors go overboard and maybe it is because I'm a girl, but my eyes can glaze over when battle sequences get too detailed. It did seem a little quick for Tia to go from trainee to full on battle-bad ass. A mistake or two, a stumble or lesson learned might have made the transition more believable. Another complaint, the lack of female characters, is valid. However, this is clearly a 'man's world' or seems so at this point. Women seem fairly subordinate in this world and Tia stands out for that reason. The focus of the story is Tia and her relationship with The Captain and some authors get bogged down in too many other characters and sub plots. I'm fine with the story being centered on Tia and Sir. The story leaves me with questions though. If the King is so old, are there children? heirs to his throne? Is there a Queen? I would enjoy learning more about the Kingdom and their enemies. More about the magic and Tia's capabilities. Which is why I'll be reading the next 2 books :) As a footnote, the only thing that really bothered me, was why Tia didn't suggest freeing the innkeeper's dtr. The girl was incredibly kind to Tia and it would have been a great way to repay the favor. What Tia turned down, I'm sure the innkeeper's dtr. would have given anything to have.
