Bethral's training as a Warrior serves she and her friends
well. Her duty to Queen Gloriana stretches far and wide,
which is why Bethral is preparing to go raiding to protect
those she cares about. Bethral can no longer wait for Ezren
Silvertongue to notice her presence, regardless of Bethral
and Ezren's past together. Bethral paying for Ezren after a
beating as a slave and Ezren's sacrifice, gaining a wild
and out of control power, is not enough to bring them
together, but duty calls. As Bethral is preparing to leave,
Ezren's power is unleashed, dissolving Ezren's protective
bracelets holding the power at bay. Bethral immediately
wraps her arms around him, begging to be sent far away
using a portal to save lives -- including theirs.
Ezren's arrogance from his youth is transformed by telling
beautiful stories until his voice is taken away and he's
forced into slavery. Ezren was facing certain death until
his angel, Bethral, whisked him into her arms saving him
from a non-existent future. Ezren is super aware of Bethral
as she enters a room, his body responds with fire and
desire, but he understands she is beyond his reach, so
Ezren avoids contact with Bethral. But he is powerless to
stop the magic flowing through him as it unexpectedly
breaks free. Bethral once again sacrifices herself to
protect Ezren, forcing them through a portal to an
unforgiving land where the powerful magic Ezren holds is
coveted by Warrior-Priests.
Elizabeth Vaughan creates a remarkable paranormal
world demanding the reader enjoy the ride. A breathtaking
read.
Bethral, a beautiful warrior, and Ezren, a quick-witted
storyteller, are confronted with a civil war and a tribe or
warriors with their own code of honor and their own rules of
pleasure and partnership. To stay alive they must learn new
customs, confront their enemies, and conceal Ezren's fiery
power.
