Kazi often returns to memories of her childhood, when her mother was taken away and she was forced to survive on the streets. Men who are probably in their early 20s drink to excess after the death of the patriarch. Sometimes the language gets a little salty, but doesn't go beyond 'bitch,' 'ass,' and 'bastard.' And characters, including Kazi, drink. Sometimes it gets a little gory: ears severed, a finger cut off, a knife through the neck, and soldiers covered in others' blood. Besides the kidnaping, there are raids and brief battles with causalities and injuries. Another couple has a brief tryst against a tree with only moaning mentioned. There's plenty of kissing and groping, with talk of wanting to do more but not having protection. Kazi, a 17-year-old soldier, gets kidnaped with Jase, the leader of a city in the Remnant kingdoms, and sparks fly. Like the other trilogy, this is a fantasy adventure heavy on the romance.
