Blurb:

There is no force more compelling on Earth or in the parallel realms than forbidden love. It beguiles and inevitably self fulfills. It finds a way. Right or wrong, forbidden love can be a very beautiful thing, but that beauty is a blade, and it has a razor's edge.

Impossibly, love blooms amidst a savage gender war that has raged for millions of years within a parallel realm. The Pentavi shapeshifters - an all-female clan, and the Sinteverete sorcerers - an all-male clan, were sworn enemies; divided and forced to fight by their insatiable and conspiratory Elders; they were forbidden to procreate, but made ageless by magic. The two genders were only vulnerable to death during battle, and battle was all they knew.

Layluna, a hardened Pentavi warrior, starts to suspect her Elders voracious appetite for war is a ruse. She and her mate, Maysiff are determined to uncover The Elders true designs, and end the never-ending war that has plagued the clans since the dawn of time. Unbelievably, they are joined by Vasser, a true immortal Sinteverete sorcerer, and head of the undying Nevuscar. He too shares their suspicions surrounding The Elders, and the three of them embark on an epic mission of bloody satisfaction.

Forbidden love writes itself into the story and proffers a child of incredible power. She may be the only way to end the war, unite the clans, and eliminate The Elders, but she would have to survive first.

Maybe I'm just greedy?

This was such a good read but fell just short of epic for me

I can't say I needed more details because the author did a solid job of providing the groundwork and getting me engaged in the story

The world-building and back history were so well laid out

The clash of beliefs, greed, and manipulation all blended flawlessly with the strong traditions of both warring clans

Add in the elaborate graphic battle scenes - some felt real enough I looked away - yeah I know I had to eventually look back -

All of this made for an engaging read

IMO the romance was secondary to the clan war

However the sensual interactions between the MCs?

Off the charts hot

Despite how much I enjoyed this I would have liked a deeper connection to the characters

I am excited to see where the author takes this

A great blend of paranormal and fantasy
