CCCC
Entertaining political story of war and intrigue.
Reve is taken forfeit when his father's kingdom falls. Given to the victorious commander, Mathias he meets more than fair treatment. This is more a pseudo-historical story with romantic elements than a romance. The machinations of various elements swirling and intersecting was fun. The love between Reve and Mathias was understated and more poignant for it.
Overall, very enjoyable.
Favorite passage:
"I tried to tell him you would betray him. He would hear none of it. I'll enjoy bringing him your head."
