Will Thurst is the young Commander of an army, when Myrren, a young woman accused of witchcraft, gives him a gift as she lies dying. You don't find out what this gift is until halfway through the novel - suffice to say, it changes Will's life.
It all sounds rather intriguing, doesn't it? Unfortunately, it's ruined by really, really bad writing. Like, "'Have you ravished Lady Thingy yet?', the Prince asked with a cruel sneer." Honestly, who uses the word ravished? Cardboard characters with cardboard reactions, clumsy language use, and people ravishing each other completely ruined this rather interesting idea. It took me forever to read this, because I kept putting it down in favour of other books. Not recommended.
