Publisher's summary

The unforgettable story of one woman’s perilous journey to save, The Forbidden.

Rebaa’s adopted tribe lies slaughtered behind her. Rebaa’s lover, Juran, lays down his life for hers, and now she must use all of her cunning and extraordinary powers to survive the inhospitable wilderness alone, ensuring that Juran’s sacrifice was not in vain.

But Rebaa’s battle for survival has only just begun...

Hunted by savage predators and more terrifying still, the nightmarish Eldrax, a murderous chieftain who will stop at nothing to possess Rebaa’s mysterious powers for his own, her very existence becomes a life-or-death chase in the pursuit and quest to reach the one place that surely offers salvation and a safe haven she can call home. But what haven could possibly exist for one who bears The Forbidden?

Will Rebaa find her salvation, or will crushing loss, hardship, and the burden of carrying The Forbidden first destroy her from the inside out?

Includes a bonus story, Forbidden Son.

A good listen

I didn't think I would like this in the beginning because of the violence. But it pulled me in and I did like it. Now I am hooked on this series.

Too stressful

Although I enjoyed the author’s writing style, I found the story extremely stressful. Also, the ending was less than satisfying. After excruciating second-by-second descriptions, the ending seemed to jump the first 8 years of Reba’s son’s life to end with her sick and dying. I won’t be reading any sequels.

Spellbinding

At first it was hard to keep up with the names, but soon I adjusted. I can't wait to read the whole series. Rawness and realness of what it meant to be different or accepting of the differences is deep

intense

I was exhausted after listening to this book, but in a good way. Defintely action packed. But what I really loved about this book is the awakening that comes from meeting people of different tribes. The narrator was captivating. I loved this audiobook.
