Book Blurb

Honor. Duty. Love. Blackmail. Intrigue. Lust. Flies. Yes, flies. Killer blood-seeking flies have been the bane of Koilatha since the founding. They’re rumored to live in the ruins of an ancient temple of evil, not that anyone has ever gotten close enough to find out for certain. As a high priest, Rak is duty-bound to investigate these flies. The sun priest attempting to purify him and the palace functionary blackmailing him complicate matters, as does his brother’s near death at the hands of an ambitious woman and the king’s continued attempts to force him to accept the position as heir to the throne.

The worst thing of all is that, while sober, Jisten won’t settle for lust—he wants it all. And never mind that Rak has seduced him twice already. Where does honor lie when intrigue, duty, and love conflict?

 

Book Review

S’Rak, the high priest of the Lord of the Night on a mission to Koilatha, is as determined as ever to save his half brother, Jethain. The prince has to survive if the armies of the Unmaker are to be defeated, and Rak putting him into magical stasis did its job and Jethain recovered from his battle wounds. Mostly. There are others who are less interested in the prince’s survival, and the king continues to push Rak to become his heir. But Rak has other problems.

Aside from the blackmail and torture Rak continues to endure at the hands of the sun priest and the slave trainer, he also begins to form a friendship with the captain of the guard, Jisten. They both secretly want more, although Jisten keeps denying it, but there is no easy way out for them. The killer blood-seeking flies make another appearance, and Rak gets suspicious about their origins. A hair-raising adventure begins once he goes after them, but I suspect it is only the beginning.

If you want to know more about the inner workings of this fantasy world with all its complicated rules, if you like political subterfuge and theological intrigue, and if you’re looking for a read that is full of danger, cruelty, and some startling discoveries, then you might like this novella.
