THE DARKEST WARRIOR is the fourteenth book in Gena
Showalter's Lords of
the Underworld series. It's a good idea to read
this series in order because of all the interwoven
relationships, and all the ways events from the past factor
into the present. Gillian Shaw doesn't get the man she
thinks she wanted, but in THE DARKEST WARRIOR she most
definitely gets what she needs. Being wrong never felt so right.
The opening of THE DARKEST WARRIOR reads like something out
of a Grimm brothers fairy tale. Two princes in a far-off
land are cruelly driven apart by a prophesy, with a magical
transformation thrown in for good measure. Puck the
Undefeated is an unlikely hero but very likable and
lickable. After some bad stuff goes down between him and his
brother Sin, Puck is still a sexy Jason Momoa doppelganger
-- just with horns and hooves. Although Puck initially sets
out to steal Gillian away without any regard for her
feelings, his secret and fondest dream is to belong to
someone and be special, and to have someone special belong
to him. What's not to love?
At the start of THE DARKEST WARRIOR, Gillian is not in a
great place. She thinks she's in love with William but, for
good reasons, she has a fear of physical intimacy. Winding
up bonded to Puck and being taken to his home fantasy realm
of Amaranthia may have been the best thing to ever happen to
her. Through some pretty creative maneuvering, Gena
Showalter gives Gillian the time and the space to evolve
into a confident warrior queen who can stand on her own,
eviscerate her enemies, and accept as well as give love.
This hero and heroine both come to the realization that they
want to be together but trying to figure out how to do that
is incredibly frustrating. Going on a quest with death and
destruction a heartbeat away only cements their bond and
makes them fall deeper in love.
THE DARKEST WARRIOR has a deliriously sexy hero with horns,
hooves, and heart and a warrior queen who earns her happily
ever after. The secondary characters in THE DARKEST WARRIOR
are pretty amazing and I can't wait to read more about
Winter and her brother Cameron, as well as Rathbone, and a
slew of others. I look forward to what exciting adventure
Gena Showalter has planned next in her Lords of
the Underworld universe.
A searing Lords of the Underworld tale by New York Times bestselling author Gena Showalter, featuring a beastly prince and the wife he will wage war to keep
He is ice…
Puck the Undefeated, host of the demon of Indifference, cannot experience emotion without punishment, so he allows himself to feel nothing. Until her. According to ancient prophecy, she is the key to avenging his past, saving his realm and ruling as king. All he must do? Steal her from the man she loves—and marry her.
She is fire…
Gillian Shaw has suffered many tragedies in her too-short life, but nothing could have prepared the fragile human for her transition into immortality. To survive, she must wed a horned monster who both intrigues and frightens her…and become the warrior queen she was born to be.
Together they burn.
As a rising sense of possession and obsession overtake Puck, so does insatiable lust. The more he learns about his clever, resourceful wife, the more he craves her. And the more time Gillian spends with her protective husband, the more she aches for him. But the prophecy also predicts an unhappily-ever-after. Can Puck defeat fate itself to keep the woman who brought his deadened heart back to life? Or will they succumb to destiny, losing each other…and everything they’ve been fighting for?
