Fire Queen — Kathleen Morgan

HER MAGIC TURNED THE TIDE OF BATTLE, BUT ONLY THE POWER OF LOVE COULD SWAY HIS WARRIOR HEART...

In a land ravaged by drought and famine, by the clash of nobles and their peasant armies, the Lord of Rothgarn's only child, Deidra, flees from the gilded confines of her father's castle and the threat of a forced marriage. Freedom and adventure are hers as she rides in the powerful Hawkwind's dreaded mercenary band. And between the flame-haired beauty and her rugged leader flares a passion that awakens her ancient powers--faerie fire and healing arts that will shield him in battle.

But a desperate peril threatens to keep them apart--an old, forgotten oath that binds Hawkswind to march against Rothgarn Castle. Can Deidra let her desire for Hawkwind endanger her father's life? Can victory rob Hawkwind of the haunting, sensual Deidra and destroy the magnificent destiny that beckons to them?
