Synopsis

A generation past, the western realms were embroiled in endless war. Then the Destroyer came. From the blood and ashes he left behind, a tenuous alliance rose between the barbarian riders of Parsathe and the walled kingdoms of the south. That alliance is all that stands against the return of an ancient evil—until the barbarian king and queen are slain in an act of bloody betrayal.

Though forbidden by the alliance council to kill the corrupt king responsible for his parents' murders, Maddek vows to avenge them, even if it costs him the Parsathean crown. But when he learns it was the king's daughter who lured his parents to their deaths, the barbarian warrior is determined to make her pay.

Yet the woman Maddek captures is not what he expected. Though the last in a line of legendary warrior-queens, Yvenne is small and weak, and the sharpest weapons she wields are her mind and her tongue. Even more surprising is the marriage she proposes to unite them in their goals and to claim their thrones—because her desire for vengeance against her father burns even hotter than his own . . .

I devoured it in a single sitting and have been struggling to re-emerge back into the real world ever since. It’ll be a travesty if it doesn’t top the “Be......more

Goodreads review by Arini

How can this be awesome yet boring and bloody frustrating at the same time? :( Also, what kind of genius do you have to be to name a series ‘A Gathering of Dragons’ when there’s not one lick of said creature found in it? The Milla Vane kind of genius, obviously. Boo! That’s deceptive marketing right......more

Goodreads review by Melanie

5 STARS!! "What have I done, that you do not know how I would ride across the world just to lay my gaze upon your face?" I savored every word! There's nothing I love more than two strong characters going head-to-head in forced proximity. Then, add in a historical-fantasy road trip and I'......more
