Adding to his dismay is the fact that his loyal servant, his Paratanist, has Chur take her own virginity. Chur is bound by duty and is unsure of what to do. He feels as if he was tricked into things by his Paratanist Enovese. As the two decide on how to proceed they begin to learn about themselves and the actual ritual of the Harvest as well as the people in it. Through royalty subterfuge and Harvester challenges Chur and Enovese must learn to trust one another. Can Chur give up his duty and claim Enovese as his mate or will he forever hold his grudge and make her pay for her deception? Chur is confused as to what to do. Does he love Enovese enough to leave his duty and free them both?

Enovese learns many secrets about where the Paratanist come from and just what their roles in the Harvest are. She begins to seek knowledge and what she learns could destroy them both. As she fights for what is right Chur must decide for himself what he must do. It seems that at every turn there is something stopping them. Will the love they feel for each other be enough or will they lose in the end? Full of scheming, deception and most of all love, this book is a wonderful tale of two people who would give up everything for each other. WICKED HARVEST is an interesting read. A fast paced story that keeps the reader glued to the pages from the beginning to end. I enjoyed the drama that enfolded in this book and the love that developed between Chur and Enovese was a beautiful thing to read.
