Destiny's Star (Epic of Palins #3) by Beth Vaughan

'Open a portal,' Bethral screamed, 'as far distant as you can.' The wind whipped at their hair and clothes and the fury of the wild magic grew. She looked at the white-hot flares where Ezren lay sprawled on the ground, her face etched with pain. 'Where he'll not kill anyone else.'
   The light, the wild magic, surged around them and Ezren's body convulsed in Bethral's arms. Then the portal exploded as Bethral, Ezren and the horse disappeared . . .

Bethral is a mercenary, Wise in the ways of weaponry and warfare, but not so good when it comes to dealing with people. Ezren is a quick-witted storyteller, a waver of mesmerising tales - and more, for the rarest magic, wild magic, runs through his veins. But wild magic is rogue, uncontrollable and deadly, and if Ezren is to survive, he will have to rid himself of it, or learn to wield it. Both options are nigh on impossible.

And the unlikely couple find they have other, equally pressing concerns, for the portal that wrenched them from their home has dropped them in the middle of the Plains, an unforgiving land, leaving Behtral badly injured.

And not only are the people of the Plans warriors, with their own code of honour and their own rules of pleasure and partnership; they are also in the middle of a civil war. To stay alive, Bethral and Ezren must learn new customs, confront their enemies and conceal Ezren's fiery power ...

For it appears the wild magic in Ezren is also of the Plains. And when the feared Warrior-Priests find that out, they will want it back - even if they have to kill Ezren to achieve that.
