Review of Cursed by Fire by Jacquelyn Frank
.
Dethan is the oldest of four brothers. He is a great warrior and has conquered many cities in his life. He and his brothers go through an arduous journey to find a fountain that will give them immortality. They do find the fountain and become immortal, but the Gods feel that they don't deserve it so each brother is cursed in his own way. Dethan is cursed by fire. He gets burned to ash all the time but because of the immortality, he comes back to life. A goddess comes to him and offers him freedom, with the exception of certain hours of the night when his curse will still happen. In exchange, he has has to conquer cities and get them to worship the goddess. In one of the cities, Dethan meets Selinda, who is engaged to a ruthless, devious man. She turns to Dethan for help. Dethan goes on a mission to defeat a rival tribe and to save Selinda from her fiance.
Dethan is a very centered, intelligent and strategic man. His goals have always been to conquer cities, but Selinda has given him a chance to love for the first time in his long life. His skills allow him to be able to succeed at his mission and be with the only woman he has ever loved. Selinda is a very loyal, strong and likable character. Both characters were well written for each other. The book flowed so well that I didn't put it down until I was finished.
