I received a free copy of this book from Black Chateau and the author Nanishka Torres! Go check them out if you have a chance! All opinions are my own.


In the realm of Fenrir, the royal family reigns with peace and justice. Science and reason are the driving forces behind every diplomatic decision. Religion is not allowed in the political arena.

Most people respect that decree.

The radically religious group known as Staxeons do not.

Prince Callum is diplomatic. That is until Staxeons kidnap the man he loves. Then he will do anything required to make sure he is returned safely.

That includes seeking the help of the enemy.

The world knows what Fenrir's prince is capable of.

The Staxeons are about to learn first hand. - Amazon.com


Even the shortest books can have a huge story behind them. A good example of this is this book! At only a little more than 100 pages you wouldn't think that this book would have a huge story behind it. But this book is one of the best books I've read this year! The characters are very well developed for the story being so short, the plot is intriguing, and the writing is well done. The book also includes an lgbt relationship and the book is full of action and adventure! There's hardly any down spots in the book, but it doesn't feel sped up or off.


The only issues I found that bugged me were that I wanted more world building in the book and I think the book could have benefitted from heading up the chapters with who the narrators were. The book is wrote from 3 POVs and figuring out who was talking does take you out of the book for a bit.


Verdict: If you're looking for a quick read with tons of action in it I highly suggest this book! The story is great, the writing is good, and the characters are relatable. Hopefully there are more books in this series because I would definitely read more of them!
