Can a petal blunt a scimitar? A lover's triangle pushes two princes into a battle that is bound to bring a bloody war. Shehera despises her former betrothed. But the rabid warrior will stop at nothing to recapture his prize from her beloved. "She could stop a man with her glance, if only she would." Just when readers think the story is over, they are surprised by a second, equally powerful and elegant climax in the final paragraph and sentence.
