"A Borderlands story!"

Romance Paranormal
Susan Grant writes the most wonderful science fiction
romance books. Her Borderlands books really rock! Wren always lived apart from her family. Her mother died
and her father is the Warlord who apparently is ashamed of
her. She hasn't seen him much but the last time she saw him
she also saw young Aral Mawndarr. Aral decides then and
there that he would claim Wren one of these days. Wren finds out that not only was her father killed but her
brother as well. Then her two guardians fight over her and
one stabs the other with poison. Wren is worried that she
will be killed as well so she kills her. Then as her
guardian, Sabre is dying, she tells Wren that she is the
key and gives her a pendant that leads to a great
treasure. Wren decides that she cannot tell anyone that she is the
Warlord's daughter and his only living offspring especially
when the Triad is rounding up all the Draaken on the
pretense that they are trying to keep peace and are making
sure the backward Drakken are exposed to good food and good
health care. When Wren is gathered up with the other refugees and taken
to Zorbeta, she is given a medical chip to get her eyes
fixed. She figures that will help keep her identity even
more secret but that's where Aral finds her. This is when
everything changes. Wren isn't sure that Aral finding her
is a good thing but what is she to do? Danger is everywhere. THE WARLORD'S DAUGHTER absolutely blew me away! There was
so much going
on and I was pulling for Wren to find her happiness as she
had so little of it in her life. As always I ripped
through this book at the speed of light and am looking
forward to the next book by Susan Grant!
SUMMARY
The war is finally over. But Wren's life is in tatters.
The only living offspring of the notorious Drakken
Warlord, her genes could very well start a new dynasty of
terror. And the Coalition can't have that. She alone
holds the key to finding a legendary treasure. Having seen
enough bloodshed, shy, petite Wren vows to destroy it
before anyone, Drakken, Coalition or Earth, can get their
hands on it - but she'll need help. The Drakken's
ruthless evil turned Aral toward the Coalition years ago.
War is all he knows, until he finds passion and love in
the most unlikely of women - the Warlord's Daughter. But
will trusting each other with their secrets risk not only
their hearts, but their lives?
