This book sparkled from the first sentence. Love the lead-in with introducing Sabine's character. I finished this book yesterday and I loved it. It was dark in a way that the others weren't quite dark. The usurped kingdom of Rothkalina has some dark happenings under the helm of Omort the Deathless. I believe this is also do in part to the fact that the heroine is supposed to be evil in this story. I wouldn't exactly call her evil. I'd call her pragmatic. She's had a rough life that taught her...

Wow! This book is so hot and sensual. It was so much fun to watch two very strong characters be matched against the other and have a battle of wills, sexual pleasure and ultimate power. This book is so fast paced, it is very engaging and the pages as so steamy. I loved that we have a super strong heroine at the forefront of this novel. Sabine is the perfect match for Rydstrom, they are constantly going toe to toe with the other as they try to enforce their wills on the other. I love how we see...
