Xylara is a Daughter of Xy, brought up to do her duty to her country, her king and her people. Her father, the Warrior King Xyron, is dead and her incompetent half-brother Xymund is on the throne; she has chosen to serve her people as a healer, until she is needed to make a marriage of alliance.
But the once-great kingdom of Xy is threatened by the Warlord and his barbarian Firelanders, and her brother Xymund is forced to surrender. The terms are fair: the kingdom will remain under Xymund's control, and the taxes and tithes are reasonable. All prisoners and wounded are to be exchanged unharmed.
There is just one thing more: to ensure a true peace - no pillaging, no looting, no rapine - the Warlord has claimed tribute.
He claims Xylara, Daughter of Xy, to be his Warprize . . .

Great Fantasy Read

Reviewed in Australia on 1 January 2019

Verified Purchase

I'm usually hesitant to spend $11.99 on an ebook for a "new to me" author, but after this was recommended to me I couldn't resist one-clicking. It is a real slow burner relationship wise between Xylara, otherwise known as Lara and also the Warprize, and Keir the Warlord. Great storyline and secondary characters, I'll definitely be reading the rest of the series.

Interesting story but a few grammatical errors

Reviewed in Australia on 11 January 2017

Verified Purchase

I had wanted to read this book for quite some time, after seeing so many positive reviews on goodreads. When it came out in a kindle version, I was hesitant to buy it since it was $11.99 and I usually only spend up to $5. But I eventually gave in. I understand why it had so many good reviews. The storyline is interesting and different. The characters were well developed. My only real issue was some very obvious grammatical errors. For $12 I would expect the author (or editor) to know the difference between then and than!

Excellent Fantasy Romance

Reviewed in Canada on 19 July 2023

Verified Purchase

I feel like the ending wrapped up a little faster than I might have liked, but I thought it was excellent overall. Full points on the world building and slow burn romance.

Elizabeth Vaughan really made this book come alive with with depth and intrigue. There were definitely elements of sex and war, but neither was graphic or overdone. As such, I think it could be appropriate for both adult and young adult readers. I’m curious to read more books by this author.

A healthy fantasy romance to make you feel warm and fuzzy inside

Reviewed in Japan on 20 January 2019

Verified Purchase

A easy 'comfort book' through and through, with a handsome and overprotective warlord, likable side characters (also very protective), a 'stubborn healer archetype' heroine, a healthy relationship (admittedly, an 'insta' one, though), and grand gestures. Nothing else to say really. A good romantic read to put some balm on your soul and get away, without having to read about much angst and intrigues.

sehr interessant und unterhaltsam

Reviewed in Germany on 20 January 2015

Verified Purchase

Ich fand dieses Buch sehr gut zu lesen. Die Handlung ist fesselnd und entwickelt sich in unvorhergesehenen Weise. Mir hat auch die Beschreibung der verschiedenen Kulturen und die dadurch entstehenden Spannungen gut gefallen. Die Hauptfiguren sind gut beschrieben und man kann sich gut in sie hineinversetzen.
In meiner Buecherei habe ich dieses Buch in Science Fiction gefunden. Ich wuerde es aber doch eher als Fantasy einstufen.

A delightful, feel good adventure story with drool worthy romance? Yes please!

Reviewed in the United States on 20 October 2011

Verified Purchase

There are some books we read because they make us think, others we read for their nail biting action, and then there are books we read simply because they entertain us. They are warm, and light, and delicious like a hot cup of coco on a cold night. Warprize is one of those books. It's not profound, or deep, but it is a delightful, action filled romp of an adventure story, with a fantastic, drool worthy romance thrown in to make us melt. It's the kind of book I see myself reading over and over again just because it makes me feel great.

~ Premise ~

Lara is a princess of the land of Xy, but she's not your normal royal. Early in life she took up studies as became a healer, much to the chagrin of her family. Instead of attending royal functions, she spends her time in sick tents in stained frocks, with blood up to her elbows, assisting the any who need her arts. And there are many in need, for Xy is at war. A warlord from the Firelands has been campaigning across Xy, intent on conquering it.

When the armies of the Warlord arrive at her city, Lara defies the wishes of her brother the king, and provides healing for capture enemy prisoners, even making friends amongst them. It is this friendship that drives her to help hide the identity of a prisoner of high station, it also drives her to help the prisoners escape before her brother, the king, can slaughter them, and it's what ultimately causes the Warlord himself to lay claim to her as a Warprize - the price paid to broker peace arrangements between Xy and the Fireleands, which sets the stage for a glorious adventure that where princess becomes a slave, and a slave becomes a hero worthy of songs.

~ My thoughts ~

Here's what I think makes Warprize really shine - characters, romance, and adventure.

The characters are just fantastic. Lara is strong but also vulnerable. She speaks her mind, but is wise enough to know when to listen. She's not a bad ass and doesn't need to pick up a sword once in the story, but this makes her no less of a hero. Her strength and heroism lies in her honor, the sacrifices she makes for her people, and her healing arts.

Our Warlord, Kier, is just delicious. He's 100% man, an alpha male with actual character and depth. Don't you just hate those alpha males in romances that are all bluster and hotness, with no real personality or motivations for their actions? Kier is a refreshing change from those one dimensional archetypes - he has a past that's not made 100% clear to us in book 1 that strongly motivates his actions. We're tantalized with hints of what makes Kier tick, left wanting to know more. He's a character you understand, care about, and feel connected to.

The romance delicious in Warprize builds slowly. Character's don't fall in love at first sight or jump into the sack at the first opportunity. Instead we are enticed by smoldering attraction, and growing romantic tension. We see things only through Lara's eyes and we're left wondering at Kier's feeling, pondering his motivations, yearning for the moment they finally connect. It's just plain delicious.

Despite the epic and completely swoon worthy romance, Warprize isn't just a romance book. The adventure in the story starts from page 1 and doesn't let up. There are daring escapes, betrayals, mysteries, night attacks, and a host of other events that guarantee you'll keep turning the pages on this story long into the night.

Warprize is the perfect book for a rainy day, or when you are feeling a bit blue. It's such a fun, light hearted, feel-good read. It is guaranteed to put a smile on your face. It will definitely be a book I read again.
