I was particularly pleased when one character, whom I'd thought to be a bit one-dimensional and cliched, turned out to be nothing of the sort. I'd been viewing him through the eyes of a character who had her own prejudices. (With many writers, the protagonist would automatically be correct in their assessment, so again, I regarded this as good writing. This book is also unusual in that there are several gay/lesbian couples and their relationship is simply part of who they are. It isn't essential to the plot. There isn't a romance (love, yes, romance no). Simply people with different sexual identities living normal lives in a culture that has no issues on this subject. I got the first book in the series free. I'm now off to buy the second book and look forward to buying more by this author. ( ) JudithProctor | Aug 25, 2017 | sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

HTML:The Bards of Shkoder hold the country together. They, and the elemental spirits they Sing – earth, air, fire, and water - bring the news of the sea to the mountains, news of the mountains to the plains. They give their people, from peasant to king, a song in common. Annice is a rare talent, able to Sing all four quarters, but her brother, the newly enthroned King Theron, sees her request to study at the Bardic Hall as a betrayal. To his surprise, Annice accepts his conditions, renouncing her royal blood and swearing to remain childless so as not to jeopardize the line of succession. She walks away from political responsibilities, royal privilege and her family. Ten years later, Annice has become the Princess Bard and her real life is about to become the exact opposite of the overwrought ballad her fellow students at the Bardic Hall wrote about her. Now, she's on the run from the Royal Guards with the Duc of Ohrid, the father of her unborn child, both of them guilty of treason – one of them unjustly accused. To save the Duc's life, they'll have to cross the country, manage to keep from strangling each other, and defeat an enemy too damaged for even a Bard's song to reach.
