DESCRIPTION:
When he discovers Cat is the Kingmaker, he abducts her. Although up for the fight, Griffin would prefer for Cat to help his people willingly, and he's ready to do whatever it takes to coax her - even if that means falling in love with her.. But when an ambitious warlord captures her, she may not have a choice. This smart-mouthed soothsayer has no interest in her powers and would much rather fly under the radar, far from the clutches of her homicidal mother. The perfect pause-resisting romance debut for fans of Game of Thrones. But Cat will do everything in her power to avoid her dangerous destiny, and she battles her captor at every turn. Catalia "Cat" Fisa is a powerful clairvoyant known as the Kingmaker. Griffin is intent on bringing peace to his newly conquered realm in the magic-deprived south

I'm happy to say A Promise of Fire meets all expectations, and then some.Eight years ago Cat ran away from home and ended up joining the circus as a soothsayer. Of course this is all a front to keep people from finding out who she really is: The Kingmaker. Everything changes when she runs into Griffin, warlord for the Sintan royals. He knows her for what she is, and knowing his kingdom needs her power, he kidnaps her.I wasn't . "A Really Great Story Ruined by Inconsistent Characters and Weak Writing" according to Douglas C. Meeks.
