I received this ebook free from Net Galley and publisher Bloomsbury. I recommend this story and I am looking forward to the second book in the series. I admire how the writer Ruth Lauren illustrates the dangers in the story by examples of extreme heat and cold, from scalding hot water in a kitchen to becoming perilously cold in a cell of ice. This book is really good in its treatment of friendship, trust and loyalty and how these elements drive Valor to persevere and not give up.
