A man whom all men fear... General Dieter von Adolwulf has led the Scarlet Army of Kria to victory for the past decade, holding the infamous field known as the Regenbogen against Kria's hated enemies—the deceptive Illussor and the ruthless Salharans. War has waged between the three nations for longer than anyone can remember, but no one has held the Regenbogen as well as the notorious Wolf of Kria and his fearsome army. A man who fears nothing... Returning home at the end of the year, the Scarlet Army is attacked in the dead of night by a single man who manages to kill hundreds before he is finally captured. A Salharan soldier with no name, no purpose but to kill, he refuses to bend to the Wolf who takes him prisoner and forces upon him a despicable Krian name. A man with nothing to lose... When the rest of his army is slaughtered by Illussor soldiers desperately seeking his prisoner, Dieter determines to hold fast—both for answers and in revenge for the men he lost. But answers and revenge are hard to come by when surrounded by secrets and treachery, and the man least likely to kill him is the prisoner who most wants him dead.

Prisoner really sits at the border of being a good book and being an ordinary one. A little more detailing and character development may have even put it in the league of awesome. Sadly, Megan does not push through and we have a book that I liked but felt was rushed. Still the focus is on the characters and their relationships and there are points where you find are very entertaining. All in all a decent read but with a simplistic world setting and a even more simplistic magic system it never truly draws you in.
I'm leaving this note here for my own information so, at a later date when I decide I need to read more Derr books, I will remember why I took this one off my TBR unread.
After doing a little more research, I have come across 1) people likening this to Stockholm Syndrome 2) people saying the main romance is somewhat abusive 3) people saying this is enemies to lovers and 4) comparing it to Captive Prince.
None of the above - even hints at any of the above - is for me.
