Product Description
Product Description
Scarlet of Lysia is an honest peddler, a young merchant traveling the wild, undefended roads to support his aging parents. Liall, called the Wolf of Omara, is the handsome, world-weary chieftain of a tribe of bandits blocking a mountain road that Scarlet needs to cross. When Liall jokingly demands a carnal toll for the privilege, Scarlet refuses and an inventive battle of wills ensues, with disastrous results. Scarlet is convinced that Liall is a worthless, immoral rogue, but when the hostile countryside explodes into violence and Liall unexpectedly fights to save the lives of Scarlet's family, Scarlet is forced to admit that the Wolf is not the worst ally he could have, but what price will proud Scarlet ultimately have to pay for Liall's friendship?

Format:Paperback
I was very addicted to reading this novel - not in the pursuit of 'rudeness' as with some titles from Torquere Press but due to the skill and imagination of the story, characters and the theme.
A whole world has been intricately invented that completely manages to avoid cliche and cringe whilst still being fantastical and exciting.
The story follows a lad of around 20 called Scarlet, his race of people are under threat and he struggles to discover his natural feelings and place in the world. There are enemies of his race and general baddies about, including a big, bandit type from the North who quite fancies him, there are no, I repeat no big love scenes but the tension and inner thoughts of the two men are very tense.
The nod towards the tale of Red Riding Hood and the Wolf is a subtle one, including a dressing up as Grandma scene, apples and so on - as a fan of fairytales, I really enjoyed these bits.
The front cover is a bit 'Mills & Boon' with some poor quality printing on the back, this is a shame as it unnecessarily cheapens the book and makes it a bit corny looking. If they had done something more reminiscent of the victorian fairytale books, embossed cloth effect but with a modern twist it would have been perfect.
I would recommend reading it, I am just about to buy book 2 and nothing but the end of the internet will stop me...

This world is nice alternative to those who are bit tired of often trampled path of all-too-predictable wizards and heroes (like me). But also keep in mind that this book contains some unconventional romantic themes (nothing too detailed though), that might be disturbing for some more conservative readers. I am not saying this is something negative, i am sure that many readers value such unconventional nuances. So depending on the readers views on matter - take it as warning or hint of value.
