Two hundred years before the events of "The Stone Prince", Branion is besieged by a civil war, and only Simon, Court Painter and closest friend of the kingdom's ruler, can find the courage to rescue a young child--the heir to the Flame--from becoming a victim in the family power struggle.

This is a wonderfully written book that has beautifully portrayed characters. Its presentation of homosexual love is sensitive and not mocking (people in this universe do not care about sexual orientation - the people are bisexual). It has a fine mix of humor with seriousness. This book can be read alone from the other books in the series (the books are standalones within the same universe), and is probably the best in the series (although The Stone Prince completes for this honor).

Wow. I must say, it's been a long time since I've read a book that I've had to pry from my hands so I'll STOP reading it! The characters are so engaging it makes even a conservative like me overlook their strange roles in the society she's created. A must read!

This book suprised me by how good it was. The author does an extremely good job with character development. I read it from cover to cover almost in one sitting.

The Queer Painter
A very good story plot ruined by the all-too-constant attempt to persuade the reader into sharing the author's view that homosexuality is normal.
