the story is painfully & unnecessarily long. when the story dragged on, not moving forward, i started to evelyn wood through the book, eventually throwing in the towel, not caring how things played out. ugh!

Maids with Blades, is a captivating collection of tales of the three sister warrior maids of Rivenlock. Three adventurous stories tell the tales of three sisters on the borders of Scotland in 1136. Deirdre, Helena and Miriel find with their paramours, that love conquers all, blades are stronger when they're together, and fire and smoke/strength and cunning, are the totems of their lives. Wonderful adventures and journeys. Not to be missed
