Another ARC I received from Edelweiss+. Xena, the Warrior Princess, has left her life of war and violence behind. She has dismissed her army, and seeks forgiveness for the destruction and death she caused in the path. She comes across a villager in need, Gabrielle, being attacked by a former member of her own army. The ex-warrior, Jax, makes it clear that he has not forgiven Xena for dropping the army. Gabrielle joins Xena on her journey, determined to 'help'. However, she turns out to be far more trouble than she's worth, especially when someone wants to show Xena how it feels to lose someone. Yet again, this novel is led by some fanatastically strong women. Their relationship with one another is comical yet sweet, and I could see Xena beginning to care for Gabrielle throughout the stories. The writing was great, and the art was classic and clear. I am intrigued about Xena's past, and would definitely be interested in more of this series. 4 stars.
