This lively shifter romance is part of the String of
Fate series by prolific fantasy and urban fantasy author
Bianca D'Arc. We meet Gina, a girl descended from rare white
tiger shifters, supposedly a ruling force among the clans
but not currently in a position of power. Right at the start
Gina has an injured man in her car. Mitch has been poisoned
somehow, and all she knows about him is he's from the former
Royal Guard of tigers. The issue of the KING'S THRONE may be
on the table whether she wants it or not.
Gina is a doctor, and her blood is accepted by all other
shifters, so a transfusion is the medicine she provided
to Mitch. She takes him out of town to a snow-clad mountain
cabin owned by her family and doubles the dose. The
wilderness, also, provides the space needed for big cats to
roam. The beautiful, majestic white tiger in the woods that
Gina becomes has Mitch spellbound, but when he makes his own
first shift, they're not prepared for his tawny stripes to
turn white. Along with the turned colour comes an extra rush
of magical power, so that Mitch now understands why the
white tigers are revered. What will this do to the ruling
family dynamics?
The action moves to Iceland, where tiger shifters live in a
secret home near a volcano research station. Mitch is
required to defend Gina's family from a usurper - Mitch is
the only young, male white tiger on her side, and he's
committed to Gina, loving her with all his heart, teeth, fur
and claws. Fire and ice magic are awakened, not the safest
thing to do around a volcano, and the werewolves, who
attacked Mitch, haven't finished with them yet.
I enjoyed the location details and the way the tigers
explored their environment. The relationship that we see
developing is sudden and strong, but we're left in no doubt
that Gina has met the right man. Fans of romance, shifter
tales will love KING'S THRONE by Bianca D'Arc and want to
read the others in the String of Fate series.
