FIRST SENTENCE: William de Bohun stood hidden in the shadows of the castle's stone walls and looked at his nephew, who sat in the window enclosure, Rowan's golden hair bathed in sunlight, his handsome face frowning in concentration as he studied the manuscript before him.

SUMMARY: [From barnesandnoble.com] He was wise, strong, and brave. His destiny was to be king. She was young, beautiful, a warrior princess. Her destiny was to love him. But when first they met, it was not as princess and king - it was as man and woman only, consumed by a passion so sudden, so deep that the very world exploded with one kiss. Only later, with his touch still burning on her lips, did Jura discover that the knight of her secret tryst had been none other than the hated Prince Rowan! Rowan, who had returned from far-away England to usurp her brother's throne... Rowan, who vowed to unite the wild clans under his rule.

REASON FOR READING: It was there.

THOUGHTS: This book was just plain stupid. That's right, I said it, stupid.

MISCELLANEOUS: Thank goodness I didn't pay for it.

RATING: 1/10 [Don't waste your time]
