Princess Meorie is kidnapped from the Norinian capitol, finding herself aboard a warship of Tendaria, a victim of treachery and dishonor. She discovers her captor is Dareena, daughter of the Tendarian queen, who intends to return Meorie to Tendaria to stand trial for war crimes of four years ago.
Dareena promises justice, but Meorie knows she will only receive vengeance. She is offered the choice of spending the voyage trussed like a turkey with an equally undignified delivery to the Tendarian palace, or she can accept a magical slave collar of obedience, to be removed upon delivery. She accepts the collar, binding her to obedience to Dareena.
As the voyage progresses, Meorie attempts to defeat the collar while learning how deep the treachery towards her has extended. She also finds herself falling in love with her captor.
This novella of 43,000 words, about 130 printed pages, is the darkest story Julia P. Lynde has written.

This book is exquisite. In a book which purports to be a lesbian romance fantasy set in a mythical medieval sword-and-sorcery setting it actually hits on universal themes and treats them with delicacy and care. The story blends themes of betrayal, family, honor, self-sacrifice, justice, and obedience to authority in a way that is a true delight to read.The ending seems somehow unfinished because the author leaves a few plot elements hanging, but she provides an epilog so at least we know that the protagonist and her lover survive and flourish.
SPOILER: There is no closure with the sister. There is no clue what happens to the stranded sailors. There is unfinished business with the brutal jailers. The last page announces a trip that Meorie and Dareena are required to take, but nothing further is explained about that. The Queen of Tendaria abdicates or resigns, this all happens off-stage and we don't get to see any of it or really explore why.
Nevertheless, the book is exceptional and I understand why Ms Lynde might have wanted to end it this way, the focus, after all is on the trial and verdict and that part of the action is concluded. I would have liked it to be longer and tie up more loose ends, but I still LOVED the book. I can't recommend it highly enough.

Paying the Price edition by Julia P Lynde Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
I liked this book until they arrived at their destination. It seemed like one of the main characters suddenly changed their whole personality. Overall it was a good book for the price.
This book had a unique plot and storyline that I enjoyed - it was definitely different from your typical girl meets girl story. I usually don't like fantasy typy novels but I gave it a try because I like the author and I was not disappointed.
Not like any of her other books, but good none the less.
Very well written, an interesting plot but a sudden ending.
One thing irked me though. Half of the book took place on a ship and on a ship there is a poop deck. Every time poop deck was mentioned not so pleasent pictures dropped in my mind. I wish the author would have used the french word for it (poup deck), it would have saved me some nose wrinkling)
The book was well written, and engaging from the start. I could see a connection building between the main characters, but, for me, a shadow is cast upon their relationship because of the side effect of the magical collar. That aspect tainted the story because it calls into question whether their love was real. Granted I could see they started to care for each other, but it slightly diminished my enjoyment because that thought was always in the back of my mind.
The brutal treatment of Meorie is understandable because the resolution required her to suffer, but the book could have definitely used another chapter or two to tie up loose ends as mentioned by another reviewer. I gave the book 4 stars because it's still a well written, enjoyable book regardless.
Okay, nothing against the story or against the author but having purchased and returned this book I felt like there should be a more explicit warning somewhere on this page.
It is indeed well written. You do identify with the heroine, and you can't put it down.
More's the pity.
Without giving too much away, half the book is spent in a tense, though intriguing exploration of captor & captive. Then they arrive and all hell breaks loose.
The treatment the main character suffers upon arrival literally, literally turned my stomach. Not rape, but that level of just sickeningly degrading treatment. Think violence, scat, torture, etc. Detailed description included.
I skipped the "good" parts (the more or less consensual sex) so I can't comment on that, but I do at least know that the main character was told explicitly that this sex was intended as a type of emotional assault.
None of the above is at all attractive to me and it was extremely unpleasant to read in general, and in erotica in particular. So consider yourself warned. "Dark" they call it? This is what they mean.
"The plot is interesting so far, but as far as the writing is concerned this book could definitely use some editing. I disagree with previous comments which seemed to glorify the writing capabilities. I think this author must be a good storyteller but I wish she would refrain from repeat phrases and try to avoid the I'ds. Driving me up the flippin' wall. I'll write a complete review when I'm done; my opinion could change. As of now, I give it a 3 out of 5."
After reading the entire story, i would give this book a 4 out of 5. The writing was a lot better towards the end, and while I still think it could use some editing and maybe even a little revising at the beginning i believe it was a good book. the author did a good job overall.
I sat and read this book straight through in an afternoon. It was a little darker than what I normally care for, especially because Princess Meorie seemed resolved to her fate while Princess Dareena seemed oblivious to what was truly going on despite the fact that she played the role of captor. I usually love Julia's work, and have more of her books awaiting me on my , but despite the surprise ending I cannot rate this any higher than a 3.
I can understand some of the more negative reviews, but the description given of the book was not misleading. It is just that after reading some of this author's other offerings such a Bidding War and Holiday Escort, a tale that deals with what appears to be someone's predetermined doom is just so different and does not leave one with the same happy feeling at the end.
