Book Blurb

At last the stasis potion is set to wear off, and the prince will return to the land of the living. But Rak discovers that his brother’s resurrection is the least of his problems. His past is being used against him, and so is his tryst with the handsome captain of the palace guard.

His options are few and his allies fewer, and the King has somehow declared him heir to the throne, an honor he absolutely does not want. Can Rak steer his way out of the political mess caused by his brother’s near death?

 

Book Review

After the developments in the previous book, I thought that S’Rak, high priest of the Lord of the Night, was in about as much trouble as he could stand. But I was wrong. His existing enemies get more vengeful, using his past as a sex slave against him. This results in even more terrible torture for Rak – and he can’t even escape because his own oath binds him to endure the punishment they deliver. The only reason he holds on is his determination 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 recovers from his battle wounds.

But new dangers raise their ugly heads as well. Rak’s father is determined to make Rak his heir, and he ignores the fact that Rak’s oath prevents him from accepting any titles or ruling a country. The political implications alone are mind-boggling, but the theological consequences might be worse. I keep waiting for the Lord of the Night to intervene, or at least give a sign of support, but so far it seems that Rak is on his own. Court intrigue, sun priests out for revenge, and daily temptations in the form of Rak’s newly acquired manservant as well as the captain of the guard make Rak’s life a real challenge.

If you want to know how Rak is doing in this amazing fantasy world with all its complicated rules, if you want to find out how the political and theological intrigue against him mount up and up, and if you’re looking for a read that is full of danger, cruelty, and some very hot sex (both consensual and non-con), then you might like this novella.
