Elizabeth Louden has been chosen to provide Micah Bleddyn,
the Overlord of Maelgwn, with an heir. However, she’s not interested in the
honor. In a land where only men are allowed to use magic, women found to
possess supernatural abilities are punished—often by death. She knows it’s only
a matter of time before her secret is revealed.
Micah has no desire to rule his father’s empire, but after his older brother
vanishes, he has no choice. Faced with invading forces, treachery among his own
people, and now, a mate hell-bent on escape, he’s had enough. Realizing they
have no allies but each other, Micah and Elizabeth reach a reluctant truce in
their bid to stay alive and keep Maelgwn safe.
Review Time!!!
Crystal's Review:
I
always have this fear; I guess you can say when it comes to reading a new
author; even if they come very highly recommended from a friend of mine. I worry that what if I don’t like their
books? Then what do I do? Do I tell my friend
that they are crazy and why would they waste their money on these books? If I did that, then I would be a horrible
person I think. I sure wouldn’t want a
friend to tell me that about one of my favorite authors. So it’s a very fine line between reading a
friend recommended book.
Thankfully,
I didn’t have to worry about that with this book. Bronwyn’s story in this book was something
that I’m very glad I read. I completely
enjoyed this book and was so glad that I could read it without interruptions,
because I think I might have yelled at the person who bugged me! A story that takes place in a world that is
not our own; where magic does exist and it’s relished upon. But also a world that women are beaten and
abused, some are forced into hiding because of their powers, and where some
women are forced to choose between their child and their husband.
Elizabeth’s
character shows strength where many would not.
She is willing to run away from everything just to keep herself
safe. Put in a position that many women
would love to be in, she tries to run away again and again. I really enjoyed her character, with her
comebacks and her willingness to face punishment to keep her friend safe. When the truth comes out about her childhood,
I was scared for her and wondering what would come to play in the future for
her.
Micah
was HAWT. I’m sorry no other way to word
things. He was hawt. But not only that, he had the hidden strength
as well. He was unsure if he even wanted
to be Overlord, but decided that he would do it to the best of his
ability. Even if that meant going
against all the old traditions. While
fighting with Elizabeth on a daily basis, he was still able to show his softer
side.
There
are some questions that I have left open.
I hope that they are answered in the next book, so payday hurry it up!
The
storyline to this book was extremely well done; the writing was even
better. I couldn’t put it down once I
started it. And even now, I’m waiting
until I can get the next book in the series because I just have to know what
happens next! (There wasn’t a
cliffhanger in this book, but the next book is about 2 characters in this one
that I HAVE to know what happens to them!)
This book is currently $5.99 US Dollars on Amazon.
