About this ebook

In order to save their future, they must overcome their past.

Now that the mission to save the ruler of Ketaurrios is over, Celeste and her friends have been ordered to remain as guests in his home until the antidote they’d obtained purges the deadly toxin from his system.

After days of waiting, Celeste is impatient to return to the human settlement and decides a visit to his quarters, a quick thank you, and an even shorter good-bye to the man she’s never met should be all she needs to appease him and be on her way. What she didn’t expect to find is the man who stole her heart, the one she thought she could trust to protect her family during the war—a broken promise which resulted in their deaths.

Khyron is a warrior and the leader of his people. The war might be over but the past, in the form of a beautiful human female with flowing dark hair, haunts his thoughts and his dreams. Soon after waking from a healing induced sleep, he discovers Celeste is still alive and, once she realizes who he is, flees the city.

He doesn’t care if his life is in danger from those who will do anything to keep him from uniting the humans and his people, or that leaving the protection of his home is inadvisable. He is determined to find Celeste and make amends for his mistakes, then claim the only female on the planet who makes his tail twitch and bears the intoxicating scent of his mate.

When a new threat stalks Khyron and Celeste, can they overcome their past and reunite in order to fight for their future?

Ratings and reviews

This is the second book in the series. It's the first one I've read and I would have preferred to read book 1 before this. I didn't get lost but there is some backstory that is covered in this story that I would have enjoyed reading. Next on my list is Book 1. This book is about missed opportunities and a second chance. Khyron and Celeste had been in love before the war. It's just by chance that they meet now, but Celeste takes a look and runs. Khyron of course follows. There are bad guys but they were a minor part of the story. This was more about the two finding a way back to each other. There is an overall story arc that I'm very interested in and will be looking forward to the next book (after I pick up Book 1). (I voluntarily reviewed an ARC).

Celeste had been sensing danger for several days now, yet nothing seemed out of place. She and her four friends were houseguests in the home of the Drezdarr, the leader of the Ketaurran people, impatient to return to the human settlement. They had gone on a rescue mission after a kidnapped physician and returned him and an antidote to save the Drezdarr’s life. They were not allowed to leave until he woke from the sleep-induced healing process and could allegedly thank them. Now feeling confined, edgy, and impatient, Celeste decided to sneak into his room, let him thank her, and go home! The room was dim, but when she neared the bed, despite the passage of years, she recognized him! He had abandoned her, broken her heart, and allowed her family to die! Apparently he had also neglected to tell her he was a member of the ruling family! Along with the anger, she felt emptiness and regret as she unwound his tail from around her leg and left the room. Khyron was dreaming of a painful time in his life when, during the war initiated by Sarus, he suffered through his sire’s death and received the news that Celeste and her entire family had been slaughtered by some of Sarus’s men. He moaned out loud at her loss, but then heard her soft voice, smelled her scent and felt her fingers stroking his scales – and he wrapped his tail around her legs. Her presence comforted him until her angry voice and her fingers unwinding his tail from her legs brought back his pain. When he woke, Vurell was there – but why did he still smell her scent in the air if she had only been his imagination? She had been his ketiorra, the one female he could claim as a mate. Vurell told him she had been there, and nothing would keep him from seeing her again! Khyron finds that the angry Celeste left with her friend, Cara, as they head back home to the human settlement. However, they are attacked by the mercs. Khyron had begun to search for her and finds her. But she thinks he betrayed her – will she listen to him? Can she forgive him and the two of them rebuild their relationship? Are they willing to face all threats against them together? This was a very enjoyable book. The descriptions and dialog made the story feel quite real and the characters were believable. Grab your copy and see if the two of them can get back together and regain the love they thought was lost.
