Granddaughter of the sorceress Kethry, daughter of a noble house, Kerowyn had been forced to run the family keep since her mother's untimely death. Yet now at last her brother was preparing to wed, and when his bride became the lady of the keep, Kerowyn could return to her true enjoyments - training horses and hunting.  

But all Kerowyn's hopes and plans were shattered when her anscestral home was attacked, her father slain, her brother wounded, and his fiancee kidnapped.

A wonderful tale of Valdemar. It doesn’t disappoint. Great narration. A few caveats: the D word appears the number of times. The underlying attitude is of promiscuity. People move in and out of sexual relationships. And also an acceptance of lesbian relationships.

Family and friendship amidst hardship.

I was delighted when Audible announced they were working on a recording of this book; it's my favourite one in the Valdemar universe. I listened to it as soon as it was released and enjoyed it very much - and will undoubtedly listen to it again. But I'm baffled by the decisions on accents.

Since British accents & dialects were used, why not have someone to whom they're native read the book? The reader is pretty good, but the net effect of her near-misses on the various accents/dialects, and occasional American pronunciations of words that are said differently in the UK was like listening to a favourite piece of music played ever-so-slightly off key.

Classic Mercedes Lackey - but those accents...

Why does Kero have an English accent? This isn't set in England! Wish I could get my credit back
