Can't recommend this book enough and give more high praises. The secondary characters were just as amazing and Diandra is totally my new BFF. The world building here was that much more complex than in the first book because that was also the language barrier and another whole set of traditions and costumes for the Korwahk and the end result was incredibly sensitive and brilliant. But KA has the ability to brings us around and make us feel like it's us who are fighting to make the relationship work. I don't think I have ever being so emotionally confused about the relationship of the main characters before reading this. Circe and Lahn's relationship was incredibly bumpy and there were times that I thought they couldn't make it work. This book was one of the most controversial from KA that I've read and I've read them all. I don't know how Kristen Ashley writes this stuff or even from where she gets this crazy ideas and manages to deliver book after book of infinite delight. This one though, has completely blown me away. I have to say that the first book of this series didn't impress me that much. But facing challenge after challenge, Circe finds her footing as Queen of the brutal Korwahk Horde and wife to its King, then she makes friends then she finds herself falling in love with this primitive land, its people and especially their savage leader. She soon finds out that she’s not having a wild dream, she’s living a frightening nightmare where she’s been transported to a barren land populated by a primitive people and in short order, she’s installed very unwillingly on her white throne of horns as their Queen.ĭax Lahn is the king of Suh Tunak, The Horde of the nation of Korwahk and with one look at Circe, he knows she will be his bride and together they will start The Golden Dynasty of legend.Ĭirce and Lahn are separated by language, culture and the small fact she’s from a parallel universe and has no idea how she got there or how to get home.

Circe Quinn goes to sleep at home and wakes up in a corral filled with women wearing sacrificial virgin attire-and she is one of them.
