Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Young Countess Meliara swears to her dying father that she and her brother will defend their people from the growing greed of the king. That promise leads them into a war for which they are ill-prepared, which threatens the very people they are trying to protect. But war is simple compared to what follows, in peacetime. Meliara is summoned to live at the royal palace, where friends and enemies look alike, and intrigue fills the dance halls and the drawing rooms. If she is to survive, Meliara must learn a whole new way of fighting-with wits and words and secret alliances.

In war, at least, she knew in whom she could trust. Now she can trust no one.

The Firebird edition of Crown Duel combines the hardcover editions of Crown Duel and Court Duel-and features a never-before-published story by Sherwood Smith!

Wendy S., May 18, 2008 (view all comments by Wendy S.)
I love, love, love this book. I'm so happy that I bought it so that I can read and re-read it. Go with Mel through the hard days of war, of poverty, of ignorance, and then with her into the whirlwind of political intrigue and elegant flirtation. She is a wonderful role-model for young women: strong, brave, willing to learn, a true friend and sister. Also enjoy the added short story at the end of this edition, so that you can see just how she spends her "happily ever after." You can't help but fall in love with this novel!

Emily Lehman, December 4, 2007 (view all comments by Emily Lehman)
This book is allot of fun, and would make a great present for any teenage girl. It has a little bit of everything, political intrigue, great party dresses, hostages, escapes, near death experiences, romance and the list goes on and on. Mel, the main character, is realistic and likable and the main man is adorably mysterious. Trust me and just pick it up.
