Aedon Rawn is on a mission for the Korcian Empire, a
warrior space society in the future. He is their first
undercover agent and his mission is to infiltrate the
Citizens for Freedom. They wish to overthrow the
Conglomerate, a huge oppressive government run by shady
characters who want to control the populated areas of their
corner of space. The Citizens for Freedom will do
everything they can to destroy this government and return
freedom and power to the people on all the affected
planets.
Kala Char'ari is a woman; a warrior; a spy when necessary.
She is deeply involved with the Citizens for Freedom and
has dedicated herself to freeing her race, which is facing
extinction. She has neither time nor inclination for a man.
But when the hideout of the group's leader is discovered
and destroyed, she's forced to go on the run with Aedon and
put her trust in this dark warrior. They must gather the
outlying members of the Citizens for Freedom to continue
the rebellion and discover a way to bring the Conglomerate
down.
I thoroughly enjoyed TRUE DECEPTION. Aedon and Kala's story
is riveting and intense, and though the world they live in
is far from here, both in locality and time, the romance
could just as easily take place in New York City or Topeka,
Kansas. The relationship is the main focus of the book; the
surroundings are just a plus. This is my first book by Ms.
Waddell and I can't wait to go get her previous novel, TRUE
BLOOD. If it's anything like TRUE DECEPTION, it will be a
treat. I hope she continues writing about this world.
A man who lives for revenge and a woman who
clings to hope. Together they fight a common enemy . . .
and discover a passion neither one dreamed could
exist.
Aedon Rawn’s world died the day
his wife and child were murdered by Conglomerate pirates.
Now, his only reason for living is to avenge their deaths.
The Directorate gives him that opportunity when he’s
selected to become their first undercover agent. His
mission: infiltrate and destroy the oppressive government
of an outer region colony.
Kala Char’ari is
a woman in need of a miracle. She’s dedicated her life to
freeing her people, but they're on the edge of extinction.
Risking everything, she dares to trust a dark stranger
with the hardened heart of a warrior.
