Synopsis

A fate worse than death . . .

Bastien Cabarro survived the brutal slaughter of his entire family only to have his wife pin their murders on him. Made Ravin by The League, he is now a target for their assassins-in-training to hunt and kill. The average life expectancy for such beings is six weeks. But defying the odds is what this Gyron Force officer does best, and Bastien won’t rest until he lays his betrayers in their graves.

Ten years later, he has one chance to balance the scales of justice, provided he relies on his former wingman— the very sister of the woman who testified against him.

Major Ember Wyldestarrin joined the outlaw Tavali the day Kirovar fell into the hands of a tyrant, and she and her sister-team were left on an outpost to die under the barrage of enemy fire. The last thing she wants is to be involved in politics again. But the one thing she wants more than anything is revenge on the tyrant who murdered her parents and forced her and her sisters into exile. Carrying a secret she knows Bastien will annihilate her over, she must find some way to trust her former wingman before he catches on and kills her. Even so, treachery doesn’t come easy to a woman who took a loyalty oath to protect her homeworld and comrades-in-arms, especially when Bastien is much more to her than just a former wingman.

Yet as she tries to do right for her family, she learns that Bastien doesn’t just hold the key to the fate of Kirovar, he is vital to The Sentella-League war, and to The Tavali. If she doesn’t ensure he survives this mission, three nations fall, and time for all of them is quickly running out.

I'm not quite sure what book most of the people on this site read, but it wasn't Born of Vengeance. I am truly upset and feel a bit betrayed by this book.

The only reason I didn't dnf this one is because I love the narrator. I'm done with this series. It's such a shame because when it first started it was a huge favorite of mine.

I’m having a hard time rating this book. I love The League books and Sherrilyn’s story telling. However, this book was very different from the others in this series. It reads more like a bunch of short stories connected by the very short story of Bastien and Ember. None of them is great. The book bl......more

Goodreads review by Megzy on February 13, 2017

2/3 of the book is regurgitating events and scenes that took place in previous books word by words. The 1/3 that is new material is divided into two parts. The first part is how Bastien and Ember met and their history before they ended up on the run. That part was perfect. The pace was good. I was f......more


Quotes

"Listening to Berman tell this story, one is transported to the future in an outer space full of action and intrigue." - AudioFile Magazine

"
Kenyon continues to excel in the genre." - AudioFile Magazine

"...
listeners will be riveted from beginning to end with narrator Fred Berman's dramatic presentation. Warning -- readers will be left with a cliff-hanger ending that will leave them looking eagerly toward the next installment of the life and times of Bastien Cabarro and his life-mate Ember Wyldestarr. "Born of Vengeance" is highly recommended to the attention of dedicated science fiction enthusiasts and will prove to be an enduringly popular addition for community library audiobook collections." -Midwest Book Review
