About this ebook

USA Today bestselling author Cathy Clamp reboots the Sazi shapeshifter universe in Forbidden, a tightly-paced, high-tension urban fantasy thriller.

Ten years have passed since the war that destroyed the Sazi Council and inflicted a horrible "cure" on thousands of Sazi, robbing them of their ability to shapeshift.

Luna Lake, isolated in Washington State, started as a refugee camp for Sazi orphans. Now it's a small town and those refugees are young adults, chafing at the limits set by their still-fearful guardians.

There's reason to fear: Sazi children are being kidnapped. Claire, a red wolf shifter, is sent to investigate. Held prisoner by the Snakes during childhood, Claire is distrusted by those who call Luna Lake home.

Before the war, Alek was part of a wolf pack in Chicago. In Luna Lake he was adopted by a parliament of Owls, defying Sazi tradition. The kidnappings are a painful reminder that his little sister disappeared a decade ago.

When Claire and Alek meet, sparks fly—but the desperate race to find the missing children forces them to set aside their mutual attraction and focus on the future of their people.

Ratings and reviews

Something mysterious is happening in Luna Lake and Claire has been sent to investigate and just in time too for children are missing in this electrifying urban fantasy. When Alek rescues Claire after a “weird car crash,” he’s instantly attracted to her and the reader can’t help but get caught up in the story as their attraction is set aside in a desperate race to find the missing children and uncover the truth behind the mysterious happenings in Luna Lake. Claire an Alek certainly has a sizzling attraction for each other but with the evil they are up against it could be a deadly distraction and these strong, compelling characters demand your attention as they try to stay alive in a town gone haywire. The fast paced, smooth flowing plot crackles with energy both evil and good keeping readers on the edge of their seat with lots of suspense, magic, excitement and romance. Expectation and intrigue builds lots of electrifying tension throughout the story as the plot thickens and it soon becomes obvious that evil has this town in its grip and has no intention of letting go. Unexpected twists keeps readers guessing and emotional turmoil adds lots of depth to the story while the well written scenes and details paint vivid images that capture the imagination bringing the story to life while the thrilling suspense guarantees the reader becomes completely immersed in the unfolding intrigue. If you are a fan of the Tales of Sazi series then you know just how excited I was for the Sazi world to continue and I have to say that it far exceeds my expectations and promises that this new generation of Sazi will be just as spellbinding as the first. If you haven’t read the first series, don’t despair, the story does give you enough clues of how the series left off for you to enjoy this one but you will be missing out on the original world building and how the Sazi reached the point where they are now.
