Torrin Kerridon is a man who will fight against his baser needs to fulfill a wish he had made. And stubbornness, his one weakness, could cause man's downfall. Torrin's decision not to become sexually involved with Kala was quite funny but also made you want to slap some sense into him. Torrin was handsome as a god and a true warrior. But his stance in treating Kala as hands off for him was getting on her last nerve. And taking matters into her own hands, Kala showed true spirit in the way she handled her lust and true feelings for Torrin. And you have to cheer for Kala not only for what her life experiences have brought her, but how her strength and integrity are shown in this remarkable story. The enemy in this story is very evil and one who will meet a fate that I believe was very deserving. Ms. Couper has given us a very exciting and enticing story with many twist and turns that make this book a great read. - Margo Arthur
