Far from Home 1: The Warlord's Chosen

Author: herellwrites

Rating: 10/10

Comments: One of my favorites on Wattpad. Amer plays the hand he is dealt with compassion, wit, and intelligence. He literally gives himself up to save his people. Geir is loving, protective, and a great leader. They just don't understand each other at all. An excellent story, well worth the read.

Sequel: Follows Far from Home: Jacob & Srin'yete's Story

Summary:

"Some men are born warriors. Some are born with other destinies," I whispered in answer, trying to keep my voice placating. I had already shown enough defiance to rile my people. I needed to calm myself, and try to make the Warlord see reason. "Like to warm the warriors' beds?"When the translator repeated the words the Warlord leered down at me, I couldn't help the blush I knew rose to my cheeks."If all you know is sex and battle, what a poor life you have lived," I hissed. I immediately cursed my fool tongue, knowing I had just done the opposite of what I had intended, but I couldn't hold back the words. Not for this monster who had desecrated my home and now sought to mock and humiliate me. I could tell the translator didn't want to repeat my rebellious words, but with a flick of the Warlord's fingers to urge him on, he had no choice. The Warlord's bellowing laugh and taunting reply echoed around the throne room, although the translator couldn't even repeat them before the Warlord began again, this time in broken El'kahrian- my own language. "I choose Amer Groban, son of Jon Groban the third, as my Warprize," the Warlord growled out loud enough for the entire courtyard to hear. He met my eyes, his own shining with laughter. His whispered words, meant only for me, were translated by a near-silent, confused translator. "You are no coward, little mate. Your fire is as deep as your heart. I will enjoy making that fire mine."
