Publisher's summary

For five years, Mal and Tess meet as children outside the gates of the Northern Keep. When Mal is forced to leave, they promise to return on a certain date. Ten years later, Mal comes back and thinks the girl he remembers was only in his imagination. But he learns that he’s wrong when Tess arrives at the Northern Keep in search of him and is captured by the Usur Guard.

Mal learns that she’s a Vanata, a human hybrid and a member of the planet-bound rebels. Mal is now the skald, destined the rule the Vanata world, and they’re on opposite sides of a war. Even so, he’ll do anything to keep her safe.

Well written, skillful story-telling and beautifully read

This final installation of the Vanata chronicles is my favorite, a suspenseful, erotic, sweet and a very satisfying conclusion to the series. I’m not particularly a fan of BDSM erotica; n Book 2, I had a hard time with a couple detailed descriptions of one sadistic character’s idea of fun. But I do enjoy well-written descriptions of hot sex, kinks and all, and Strathe is that rarity among writers of romance and erotica: a real wordsmith who can evoke a complex world peopled with compelling characters pulled along by a tight, absorbing narrative. In the context she creates, the kinks work. I will probably return to this series again soon while waiting for more from this very talented author. And many, many thanks to the brilliant narrator, whose wonderful reading adds nuance and—in all the right places—heat, but never ever noise. How I wish there were more readers like her.
