Book Blurb

Everything changed for werewolf Calliph after the Shifter War. Now nothing more than a slave and plaything to human Prince Obyn, Calliph finds himself on the Golden Magus, sailing across the sea with his owner. But fate has something more in mind for Calliph in the form of Ship's First Mate Mateo—who just happens to be Calliph's Omarati—his soul mate... and a werecat. 

Heartbroken, Calliph knows he can't stay with Mateo—he is forced to follow wherever Obyn leads. Years later, when an attack at sea lands Mateo in the hands of vicious pirates, the cat discovers that, though time has changed some things, his bond with Calliph is eternal.

NOTE: This book was previously published by Noble Romance Publishing in November 2010.

Book Review

If I had to describe 'Omarati' by D.C. Juris in one word it would be magical. The whole idea of Omarati, soul mates literally created for each other enthralled me. 'Omarati' was well written and both unique and unpredictable.

Each character was expertly crafted with Calliph being the most awesome one of all. Even as Obyn's slave he was strong, dignified and loyal. Along with Calliph's fortitude, he also had a soft, romantic side. It took my breath away when he first called his soul mate Mateo 'kitten'; it was a perfect endearment for his beloved panther. I fell in love with Mateo's grace and capacity for loving. He and Calliph were a solid match.

Prince Obyn started out as a evil villian—demanding, cruel, possessive and despicable; but it was later revealed that “Obyn hadn't been a monster after all, but a frustrated man, unfulfilled, taking his anger out on everyone around him.” Calliph responded to this knowledge with great empathetically and accommodation. Obyn was pathetic, but it wasn't enough for me to forgive him.

The sexual content of the book was intense and graphic and was presented in a way that helped me understand why someone would need to be dominated. On the other hand, the love making between Calliph and Mateo is sublime. D.C. Juris expertly captured Calliph and Mateo's feral spirit while maintaining intimacy and tenderness for their human one. I was able to feel their wild natures whether in or out of their feral bodies.

Needless to say, I loved this book and believe that anyone who enjoys romantic fantasy will too. I would love an opportunity to read more about Calliph and Mateo in a sequel.
