About The Book
Forced to leave Earth earlier than planned, Jon returns to a Daran that is on the verge of civil war.
The threats to Jon escalate after news concerning his hybrid DNA is publicly released, bringing the conflict to the breaking point, his life held in the balance.
Knowing he will be on ‘house arrest’ again doesn’t soften its impact on Jon, and he chafes under his inability to help his life mate in any way.
The situation isn’t helped by Talin’s militant acceptance of his Warrior mentality, and his threats to Jon, even given for his safety, feel like betrayal.
Jon wants to return to Earth for his sister Emma’s wedding. He wants Talin to be the Daranii he’s bonded to, not the Warrior who commands him.
Will their relationship survive what Talin must do to protect him?
Can Jon accept the sacrifices made on his behalf without sacrificing himself?
The Review
Jon and Talin have returned to Daran, and there’s trouble ahead. Calal has confirmed that Jon does have Daranii DNA, and whether Earth and Daran will accept that when the information is released is unknown. The Opposition Warriors, led by Kalit, are a direct danger to Jon, and once again he finds himself under house arrest. And Talin has reverted to his warrior self until such time as he feels Jon is safe.
Talin and Jon inform SentaiTidan about Jon’s DNA, and hope it might bring Earth and Daran closer to peace despite the expected opposition. The plus to all the upheaval is that Jon, once called the “Sacrifice,” is now a citizen of Daran with all the protection afforded to the Daranii. He has one thing to do to cement his citizenship – to decide on a Daran name.
It’s not a surprise when some in Daran refer to Jon as a mongrel, but surprisingly most are excited and welcoming. Jon’s sister Emma is getting married, and the hope is that Jon and Talin will be there and be part of the wedding party. Talin’s not a fan, but he will do whatever makes the family happy. But their trip back to Earth depends on Talin finding and destroying Kalit and his followers.
When their home is attacked and Jon is nearly killed, Talin’s warrior self is in full control, and he goes on the hunt, refusing to return until the job is done. Two of the guards are killed, sending Jon and Talin into a state of depression which only their life-mate bond allows them to overcome. Jon is anxious to return home, and to once again be free to teach, but a group of haters stands in his way.
Talin and Jon have a love that many would envy. They never cease physically or verbally expressing their feelings, which so many couples fail to do. They’ve come a long way since book one, when their first meeting was as prisoner and torturer, something that Jon has forgiven and Talin can’t forget.
This book is filled with wonderful characters, secrets, surprises and violence, but first and foremost it’s filled with love.
I hope Dragon is writing write quickly to satisfy my desire for the next book. Please?
Five stars.
