"What a great sequel!"

Seanen has been serving Lady Lochinvar since he was a child and she caught him thieving, now he is part of her Honor Guard. He has no way of knowing he is about to be picked for the hardest, most important mission he's ever had.

Yarwyn has been chosen to make sure the Orcs do not attack innocent people on the tundra any more. She needs one man to help her in this mission so she goes to his guild and calls in a few markers. She's not prepared for the man she secretly observes at Casandara and Makakao's wedding. Will she and Seanen be able to perform the mission for which they were chosen?

Yarwyn and Seanen aren't prepared for the spontaneous attraction they have for each other. Can they work around this in order to perform their mission? What will they do about this attraction when the mission is over?

This sequel to A SLAVE'S PRICE is a completely stand alone book but it is ever so much better after having read the first book. I get more and more intrigued with this world that Shelby Morgen has created with each book that I read. I'm hoping she will have many more sequels to this most amazing world.
