The barefoot, and barely literate, Countess Meliara is an endearingly impulsive heroine in a very untenable situation, which her brother Branaric ruefully sums up as ' A countess wearing a horse blanket and a count who hates fighting, leading a war against a wicked king who has the largest army the kingdom has ever known.' They must take on this tyrant since they have proof that ' greedy Galdran' intends to break the Covenant, made long since between the people of Remelna and the magical, tall, graceful and still Hill Folk. The stories read like a combination of the fast-paced action of The Prisoner of Zenda and one of Georgette Heyer's charming historical romances. ![]() This current reprint combines two previously published books, Crown Duel and Court Duel, for double the reading thrills. ![]()
