As High King of Ireland, he rides with the legendary Fianna, his elite band of warriors. But a threat to the throne looms from a mysterious enemy who has vanquished several of Conn's bravest warriors.

The writing was good. Really brought the character to life. The plot was ok. I found it to be very predictable but it did hold my attention for the most part. The romance of the book however I found to be aweful. Even doing my best to keep in mind the time in history this book was written for it was till a badly told romance. He literally rapes her twice in this book and she just forgives him beacause feels bad? Maybe it was just me but the romance was aweful in this story. ( )

I kept reading this book over and over. It was my first and favorite of Teresa Medeiros. This story just pulls you in, you feel for the characters' sufferings. I recommend it.!! ( )
