Elven soldier Willow serves the human Kingdom of Bryanae in a bid to overcome her traumatic past. Emotionally crippled and driven by her personal demons, she has buried that past so deeply that she has forgotten it altogether ... but it hasn't forgotten her. Paralyzed by an inexplicable terror, she watches helplessly as old enemies kidnap the Prince.Considered by most of Bryanae to be a coward and a traitor, Willow decides she must confront her past and plunge into the heart of the enemy empire to rescue the Prince.Aside from the steel blade she wields with lethal expertise, Willow has only dubious allies upon whom to rely-a headstrong private who's in love with her, an inscrutable winged mage with a hidden agenda, and a dashing but opportunistic captain whom she desires against her better judgment.An army of fanatical warriors stands in her way. Leading them is the mad and seemingly immortal Warlord who has a personal grudge to settle with Willow: one that spans centuries.Willow has devoted her life to discipline and now she must bring that discipline to bear. Pain will not stop her. Fear will not stop her. She will rescue the Prince or die trying. Willow has been honing her combat and weaponry skills for a very long time. It's time to put those skills to good use.PRINCE OF BRYANAE is an epic fantasy novel filled with intense battles, romance, betrayal, and redemption."Fresh and strong and full of energy!" - New York Times Bestselling Author R.

First let me say sorry that it's taken me so long however, My reading of the book was impeded upon by my husband finding a liking for this book and stealing it every chance he got to read it even while I was trying to read it. He has a bit of a habit of being impatient when he likes something needless to say I found myself reading the same chapter several times in the hopes of finding my lost place. This did not however make me regret reading the book at all actually it allowed me a greater gift to make sure that I had fully read the book to it's greatest extent and insured that I was not missing out on anything. So without further digression let me proceed with this review.
The Prince of Bryanae was actually a very well thought planned and written book with enough back story and enough depth to each of the characters to actually leave the ending and a lot of what happens in the book a surprise but still giving you that feeling that what you think and what you know are two different things. There are places where you have been given the answer to the coming events and even though it has been staring you in the face the whole time it's a pleasant surprise to see that you have completely been misdirected to the point you never saw it coming. There wasn't a feeling of been there done that with this book as it's hard to find fantasy novels that don't have a little bit of something else. At the same time it's a great joy to find another writer that makes me think of R.A Salvatore and for those that love those Dungeon and Dragon novels I suggest you pick up this book you will not be disappointed I know I was not. I Look forward to further seeing what this author has to offer in future books. ( )

Discipline. It was the most important word in Willow’s vocabulary, the pivot upon which her world spun. It dominated her every waking thought. It permeated her soul.
