It's a doorstopper. I just got home from her book signing, she is great with answering questions and telling stories.

Into battle we ride with Gods by our side
We are strong and not afraid to die
We have an urge to kill and our lust for blood has to be fulfilled
WE´LL FIGHT TILL THE END! And send our enemies straight to Hell!

Actually, I might end up getting the hardcover edition for Winter Solstice. It goes better with my copy of Lionheart.
