Book Review By Brandy Todd
The Maiden by Jude Deveraux

Jura, the beautiful warrior woman, is chosen to marry the new King of Lanconia, her Lanconia, the Lanconia her brother was meant to rule. All her life she has been fighting battles and the new English king comes along and tells everyone they have to talk things out and find peaceful arrangements in order to unite their clans. Jura's brother doesn't agree with this, and Jura is torn between her husband, whom she is starting to understand and respect more and more each day, or her brother who is starting to think her a traitor.
