A Coming of Age Shapeshifter Story: Lies. Murder. Vengeance.
For centuries, humans descended on shifters' lands, killing and claiming. They devoured all in their path - gold, God, and glory their battle cries. From the flames of destruction on the Zafeo continent, two nations emerged--the human territory of Vumaris and the feline nation of Shona.No more wars.No more bloodshed.Eight decades of peace.For eighteen-year-old Asha, traveling to Vumaris with her parents, lion alphas of the Kingdom of Shona, should've been a simple matter. Recommitting to an eighty-year-old peace treaty between their countries should've been easier still. Yet, greed and corruption know no boundaries of time and place. So when a group of mercenaries converges on Sanctum Hotel, hellbent on kidnapping Asha and assassinating her parents, her family trip turns into the bloodiest night of her life.Will Asha lose those closest to her heart - her parents and Ekon, a young bodyguard she loves. If so, will she forgive her enemies or seek divine retribution?Only time will tell, and it's running out for Princess Asha of the Kingdom of Shona.
This was a rather interesting and unique shifter story-line to read. The whole human and shifter treaty starting in the 1700s is so fascinating and a new theme for this so it was something new for me.
Love, murder, passion, avenging, solace and heartbreak you will feel all of this while reading this novel.
There are some massive concepts within theses pages. This author looks at the dynamics of family, race, class, politics, and self sacrifice.The idea that humans will use brute force over cunning to acquire power.
Now this isn't my usual jam as far as books im super interested in but that doesn't mean that this isn't a great book to read.
3 stars...
