There is a power struggle in the kingdom of Elden. The Blood
Sorcerer intended to exterminate all of the royal family but
underestimated the love parents have for their children. The
King and Queen used magic and love to send their four
children to the corners of the world to keep them out of the
hands of the evil that has infiltrated their home. Each
child has only two desires, to stay safe and seek
vengeance.
The second book in the Royal House of Shadows series, LORD
OF RAGE, focuses on the only daughter of the royal family,
Breena. As a princess, her mission in life was to remain
untouched by any man and marry for the political benefit of
the kingdom. Finding herself walking in a barren land after
the attack on her home, she is equipped with nothing other
then her determination and sharp mind to survive the
circumstances she finds herself in. Finding an isolated
cabin in the middle of nowhere, she prays to the gods of
Abyss that it is a sign of her salvation. The gods grant her
pleas in more way then one.
Growing up in the warrior based tradition of the Berserkers,
Osborn was excited and scared to have reached the day of the
coming of age ritual that brought him face-to-face
with a fierce bear. It did not prepare him for the slaughter
he would set his eyes upon when he returned to his clan.
Men, woman, and children lying throughout the camp with no
sign of life left in their forms. It was easy to see that
total annihilation was the mission of the aggressors, but
they failed in one way. Osborn, with only the clothes on his
back was able to escape extermination with his two youngest
brothers. The only thought on the young Berserker's mind was
avenging the death of his family and culture. From the coats
worn by the attackers, Osborn was looking for the rulers of
Elden.
I could not put down LORD OF RAGE. It was an intense, fast
paced journey. The romantic tension that builds between
Osborn and Breena is thick enough to cut with a knife. The
drive for survival displayed by our leading man will make
any reader fall head over heals. The interaction between the
main characters is priceless and will bring a smile to your
face if not a few laughs. The character growth we see in
Breena is wonderfully written. From a sheltered princess to
a fierce female warrior, she develops into an amazing
protector ready to win back control of her brother's
birthright. If you were to read only one of the stories in
the Royal House of Shadows series, LORD OF RAGE would be my
choice.
Princess Breena had been dreaming of her warrior lover when
she was ripped from her Elden castle and thrown into a
strange, dangerous realm. Lost and alone, she prayed for
survival and vengeance for her stolen kingdom. She found
both in a woodland cottage…in a dark bear of a man.
The golden-haired beauty had eaten his food and slept in his
bed when Osborn found her. Though he wanted to awaken his
virgin princess to carnal pleasures, Breena wanted
more—including his warrior skills. Skills the once-legendary
mercenary had long buried. Now Osborn had a choice—risk his
life or deny his princess her fairy-tale ending.
