Warrior's Song (aka Chandra)

A New York Times Bestseller “Her plots are like rich desserts — sinfully delicious and hard to pass up.” — Atlanta Constitution Chandra de Avenell might look like a golden princess, but she fights like a warrior, dreams a warrior’s dreams, and wears a warrior’s pride like a suit of armor. She wants no man to rule her. She wants to remain strong, independent, and free. Enter the man her father has selected for her. Jerval de Vernon is the handsome young knight who wants her and only her for his wife. He believed he could call forth the softness of the woman behind the warrior — even if it meant forcing her into a marriage she did not want. But how does a man convince a woman he coerces into marriage to become a wife? Dear Reader: Chandra first appeared in 1984. I've rewritten it extensively and changed the title to Warrior's Song, as this book rightfully belongs in the Song series. Chandra de Avenell might look like a golden princess, but she fights like a warrior, dreams a warrior's dreams, and wears a warrior's pride like a suit of armor. She wants to be strong, independent, and free. She has no use at all for a husband. Enter the man her father has selected for her. Jerval de Vernon takes one look at Chandra, and he wants her. After he saves her from a very bad situation, he sets himself to wooing her - not an easy task. How does a man convince a woman he coerces into marriage to become a wife? To give him her loyalty and her trust? Love is something he would like her to consider as well. But what if the wife has no intention of cooperating? Does he break her or finally give up on her? Warrior's Song introduces Graelam de Moreton, a real bad boy, who has his mate thrust upon him in the second book of this series, Fire Song. The Song Series - 1 Originally published under the title Chandra, this is the stunning novel that first introduced Graelam de Moreton of Catherine Coulter's magnificent series: Fire Song, Earth Song, and Secret Song. Completely revised, rewritten and repackaged, Warrior's Song takes its rightful place as a prequel to the bestselling Song trilogy.
