His name used to be Sebastian, when he had a happy home and family. Now, this genetically-modified warrior with an unbelievable flashpoint finds a sort of contentment on an ice world garbage dump. But when the princess who deserves only his vengeance shows up in the same place, his heart won't let him ignore her need for his service. Destiny is more than a vague concept as these two people are thrown together and pulled apart over and over. There is providence behind the pain. It's a fantasy with a soul, and God is in the thoughts of these people. The language is a little more modern and ordinary than I could wish for fantasy, but it's a great story.

Since I can't give a 4.75 here, I chose 5. The only reason I would have gone for the 4.75 is one tiny little question that I didn't get answered to my satisfaction. But this is a great story, with an excellent premise and well executed. This is a great book and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The characters were well done and as in life, often ambiguous. The ending was totally satisfying. Good job.
