Two months of recovery at the Misos Colony has still not
restored Gryphon to the man that he used to be. Once one
of the most loved, honorable and trustworthy Argonauts,
the torture he was forced to endure in the Underworld has
left serious damage that seems beyond repair. Unable to
shake the voice in his head pulling him back towards the
darkness, he escapes the confines of the colony and
stumbles upon Maelea in her own attempt to leave the colony
behind. At first, circumstances force them to evade their
pursuers together but Gryphon soon realizes that keeping
Maelea close could be the key to holding the darkness at
bay.
Maelea has walked the earth for thousands of years
determined to one day be welcomed into the safety of
Olympus. As the result of a brief union between Zeus and
Persephone, Maelea is the reminder that the god Hades is
determined to exterminate from existence. Staying alive
for thousands of years has taken a huge toll on Maelea and
she prefers to not get emotionally invested in people or
places. The philosophy that has kept her alive for so long
forbids her to call the colony home and she carefully lays
plans to extricate herself from it's temporary shelter to
continue on her quest to be accepted by Zeus. Maelea soon
finds herself on a journey accompanied by an unexpected
Argonaut companion that threatens to find a place into her
heart and challenge her master plan.
The latest book in the Eternal Guardian series is
truly a
delightful read. Prepare yourself to be thrilled by
incredibly hot warriors, strong heroines, a fabulous love
story and diabolical villains that will leave you craving
the next installment. The story of Gryphon and Maelea is
at times heart wrenching as they are both so emotionally
scarred by their past but readers will not be disappointed
by the end of the book. I found myself blazing through
this ENSLAVED, sorry to see it end. ENSLAVED and the
Eternal Guardian series
is a ride I recommend you take and I will be keeping
Elisabeth Naughton on my must read list!
