Storm
In Medieval Europe, the name of the game is survival - the stakes are raised when the Black Plague hits in 1349. The worlds of two women collide one fateful day. Merryn, a thieving street rat, and Cara, a simple village girl granted divine power to heal, join forces to increase their chance of survival. Unknown to either was how fate would play out - with love and with loss. Merryn's heart breaks as Cara slips away from her. As time passes, Merryn learns to live without Cara in her life and ends up ruling the greatest empire since the time of the Romans. But who can heal the shattered heart of a ruler?

At one point, and you'll know where if you read this, I got pretty darned upset. My friend urged me to continue as she knows I have a propensity to DNF something after I throw a temper tantrum. I'm glad I heeded her advice. This turned out to be quite the experience. It's obviously uber x/g, I mean it *is* Kim Pritekel so... yea... Turns out I kinda loved it. Heh.

Nice story, historian in me yelled bullshit a couple of times (Edward III would have been a much better king to have rebelled against than his father), however an ultimately enjoyable historic romance.
Not my favourite by this author, but well worth a read.

Lovely book. I had a great time imagining the times and the circumstances of those times. The descriptions fed my imaginations well. I however find it difficult believing chicken pox could have led to assumptions that one is dead...didn't she check the pulse or something?
But asides that the romance was endearing especially the innocence of it and their discovery with one another of how to express intimately.
Enjoyable read!

I enjoyed this book very much. It was well written and the characters were interesting. Set in mid-evil times it appeared that the author did her research well.
