Now that the usurper has been deposed, Ares is not only commander of the army but co-regent of the kingdom. He is determined to keep his vows of loyalty until the young Chatain is old enough to rule, but then he finds out something about his own past that changes everything and which could cost not only his own life but that of his beloved young wife, Nicole.
Book Two of the Latter Annals of Lystra continues the excitement where Nicole of Prie Mer left off. I found the end particularly touching and can't wait to read the next book in the series, Prisoners of Hope.

It's not much of a hardship, other than on my poor working student wallet, because these are books I would like to own forever.
