Horde king catches Nelle hunting in the forest and will be
punished for this offense. While she's
given an option of giving up the other hunters to get a lighter sentence she
refuses and is to be lashed S times. When
they got to 3 he couldn't stand anymore and calls for a halt to the punishment.
He decides to take her home with him. She doesn't know why but is determined to
be productive. She makes friends and learns new skills all while trying to
figure out what the Horde king wants with her.
Where the first book was missing some world building this
book was not. This book included details I wanted in the last book. That
automatically made this one a better book. I also liked Serrin and Nelle
better. She is taken and he loves her but let's her go several times. She gets
fed up and goes back to her village and when he finally comes around is mad,
she's not there. He then has to woo her back and she doesn’t make it easy on
him. Nelle also made friends who adored her and were mad that their Horde King chased
her off. Overall, it was a well-rounded book that gave some good background on
the world and the federation. I will be checking out the next one.
