"Gena Showalter never fails to dazzle."—Jeaniene Frost, New York Times bestselling author

New York Times bestselling author Gena Showalter begins a dark, sexy new series—Rise of the Warlords—with a fan-favorite character from her beloved Lords of the Underworld series, Taliyah Skyhawk. The ice maiden faces off with her greatest enemy, a villain brutal beyond imagining.

For centuries, Taliyah Skyhawk has prepared to become Harpy General, leader of the deadliest female army in existence. One of the requirements? Remain a virgin. But, for a chance to save her people, she must wed the fearless leader of the Astra Planeta, Alaroc Phaethon.

The time has come for Roc to sacrifice another virgin bride to his god. There has never been a woman alluring enough to tempt him from his path. No warrioress powerful enough to overcome his incredible strength. No enchantress desirable enough to make him burn beyond reason. Until now.

With the clock ticking, war between husband and wife ignites. Except Taliyah never expected the merciless king to challenge the future she once envisioned. She certainly never anticipated the thrill of their battles turning into games… The problem is, only one spouse can survive.

Love is a battlefield in Showalter’s The Warlord.

Ratings and reviews

Taliyah and Roc's story was okay. In my opinion, it was a little boring. She flirts then he gets mad then he says he was going to sacrifice her; it kept going back and forth like that until towards the end it started getting good. My favorite part is when Roc flashed to get the sisters and Mother. Her sisters' storylines was better. Other than that, she is a BADASS fighter and smart too. :)
