When Rhi the Light Fae vanishes in
Cork, Ireland, the Dragon Kings become concerned that she may go to the dark
side. Dragon King Kiril arrives to
gather intel while his peers remain in Scotland.
Her Dark Fae family has locked away Shara for
centuries because of her unacceptable embarrassing behavior towards
others. Now she has one last chance to
prove to be a loyal member though Shara has never felt like she belonged and
their demand goes against her nature; failure to do so means her execution and
ironically succeeding means being married off to a vicious Fae. Her mission is to lure the visiting Dragon
King so that her kin can make him their prisoner when his guard is down. Instead, Shara finds she is attracted to
Kiril and does not want to cause him any harm.
As she assists her beloved with saving Rhi from Balladyn, Shara becomes
this Dark Fae’s prisoner inside his fortress leading to Kiril believing his
beloved betrayed him.
The latest Dark Kings romantic urban fantasy (see
Fire Rising and Darkest Flame novels and Dark Heat stories) is a thrilling
entry filled with plenty of action highlighted by an apparently doomed
star-crossed romance. The lead couple is
a delightful pairing as trust proves fleeting.
Although depth is added to the overarching premise, no thread is
completed. Yet series fans will enjoy these
natural enemies falling in love.
