As a harpy, Sentinel Aryal is accustomed to dealing with hate, but Sentinel Quentin Caeravorn manages to inspire in her a burning ire unlike anything she's ever known. Aryal believes the new Sentinel to be a criminal, and vows to take him out as soon as the opportunity arises. But the harpy's incessant wrath has pushed Quentin to the limit, and forces him to make a deadly vow of his own. To put an end to the conflict, Dragos, Lord of the Wyr, sends them on a reconnaissance mission to the Elven land of Numenlaur. Forced to work together, Aryal and Quentin's mutual antagonism escalates. Each fight draws forth more passion-culminating in an explosively sexual confrontation. But when their quest reveals real danger, Aryal and Quentin must resolve their differences in ways beyond the physical, before the entire Wyr is threatened.

As Aryal and Quentin's mutual hatred culminates, then reaches breaking point, it results in an explosive battle so Dragos is forced to send them on a mission knowing that they may well end up killing each other. However, as the mission starts they are forced to work together and the hatred and animosity reluctantly turns into a truce which brings surprising sizzling sexual chemistry then respect, compromise followed by support, feelings of mutual like ..... and finally love.
This story was like watching a bud slowly unfurling to become a spectacular flower as two badly flawed Wyr people slowly evolve and learn to trust one another and, as they do, hatred turns into attraction and friction turns into passion. Then the two dominant H/H finally understand each other and work together as a team and the passionate lovers, solidified by a sweet, touching, sometimes tender, sexy, raw drive to win at any cost, get caught in a life and death struggle against an evil Witch.
Worth a credit? This fierce battle of wills between two worthy opponents whose strong characters thankfully weren't changed to fit the plot but rather changed because of the plot and their kinked characters actually complimented each others which totally comes down to a very skilful author who knows, not only her characters needs, but her fans wishes too. So, credit-worthy ABSO-FREAKING-LUTELY !!

Ariel was wild and mouthy and confrontational, and she hated Quentin. Quentin was dominant in his private life, but pretty easy going in his social life. Except when it came to Ariel. The Harpy knew how to get under his skin and drive him to violence, towards her. And she fought back fiercely.
Their fighting is what gets them banished for a month. They must learn to work together or they won’t have a job to come back to.
I loved watching them learn their common ground, which turned out to be a lot. I liked how Quentin was finally able to temper Ariel, and I love how Ariel completed Quentin. This was a great book.
Fiesty couple

“Last names -- they were like word parasites . They attached to people in strange ways, moved across cultural and political lines, traveled the world and reattached to others certainly at whim and seemingly at random. Why didn’t anyone else see how creepy last names were?”
Quentin, friend of Pia and newly crowned Sentinel (this guy can FIGHT) proves to be just another irritant to Aryal, who trusts no one and loathes everyone. She is onto Quentin like a tick on a puppy…festering with burrowing deeper into Quentin’s life, determined to find the evidence of wrongdoing that would discredit him.
Aryal, after spying on Quentin’s dominant coupling with an ‘escort’ finds herself attracted to him but hating him at the same time…you know where this is going. As Dragos is ‘want’ to do…he sends the pair on a mission together, a large portion of which is spent with each of them plotting to kill the other. No love lost here. And even though this storyline is predictable, Ms. Harrison lights it up with fresh dialogue and creative mythology of the Wyr, Elves and Other Lands. (I SO want to go to an Other Land).
Quentin’s description of Aryal on the plane trip that takes them to Numenlaur is so good you can just feel it. She’s “sharp like vodka straight from the freezer; hot like mulled whiskey”. Quentin is not immune to the sexual attraction either…so here we go.
Sure enough, through a series of events, unfoldings and bartering (you’ll have to read the book for that tidbit), the anger barriers melt slowly away to be replaced (albeit reluctantly) by friendship, trust and, of course, love. The banter between Aryal and Quentin is so engaging, so fun, so powerful and so pure…it is just a joy to be a part of it. And as misfortune befalls them both, the struggle to protect each other, to win the ultimate fight and to recover is quite profound. Each is tested in a manner that reveals their frailty and essence.
Many folks do not care for the ‘paranormal’ world but fail often to see the allegory that it is. The Elder Races series is a beautifully crafted sequence of ‘real’ concerns couched in a world of ‘make-believe’.
I have said it with all of these books….I love the mind of Thea Harrison and the creative force that must hold her at bay on many an occasion. I loved this book and the wonderful narration of Sophie Eastlake, who has spoiled me with her grasp of the story and the characters.

For all the friction, I wouldn’t have put the two together; but Harrison does, and they fit.
An interesting addition to the series.
