A most creative and interesting read. The author held this story next to her heart for years as she wrote, rewrote and finally finished the tale to the delight of her readers. To add realism to her tale, she examined works by historians, sociologists, journalists and anthropologists. Firethorn is the heroine, a young mudwoman who is claimed by one of the Blood as his sheath to accompany him when he goes to war. She is strong-willed, loving and dedicated to Sire Galan who grows to love this young woman with the fiery hair. They endure societal ridicule, injury, and almost lose all as the book progresses. Enjoyed this write so much that I decided I should read the second in the series. Hope that Wildfire is as just as good!
