Publisher's summary

In a world where the League and its assassins rule, where betrayal and treachery are everywhere... the only survivors are those ones who are... Born of Shadows.

For Caillen Dagan, a defiant soldier of fortune, survival isn't a right, it's a brutal daily battle. Moving through the Ichidaian universe like a wraith, his brushes with the law and death are legendary. But when an act of rare heroism reveals his hidden birthright, he's forced into a world much more dangerous and cold-hearted than the bloody streets where he was raised-one of obscene wealth and lethal politics.

Ferocious and determined, Desideria serves as an official bodyguard for her queen. Born of questionable genetics, she will do anything to prove herself worthy of the weapons she carries and the position she's won by combat. But when she uncovers a ruthless plot to assassinate the queen and overthrow her country's government, Desideria is caught in the crosshairs.

Loved the mix of Sci Fi and Romance!

This was my first Sherrilyn Kenyon book ever! and I loved it! Holter Graham just made this book for me. I don't know whether or not the first three books are worth buying to read (I don't think I'd like the readers given the samples) but I did get the next book -- both of them on sale, and have enjoyed the ride. Might check out some of her other books now given how much I enjoyed this one!

Kenyon does it again.

Another amazing story of love in the universe. Sure to put you on edge with the survival of one of our cockiest characters on the run. Don't miss out on the heart pumping narration! Holter Graham keeps you wanting more with this amazing storyline. Emotions usually conveyed by voice he passes off excellently.

Excellent

This book has it all - action, espionage, technology, fantasy, romance. I'm glad I bought it on audiobook rather than hardback - I don't think I could have turned the pages fast enough. Although futuristic, Sherrilyn's characters are totally believable and the narrator portrayed them as such. I have read at least half of Ms. Kenyon's books and this is my favorite.
