Anastacia, or Stace, was marked from birth belonging to the Goddess Anat. Her mother launched a balanced plan to create five who would change the tides of the ongoing disputes among the supernatural factions trying to survive in a human world. A prophecy was created to unite them into peace and Stace has to believe she is the one to do that. And what happens when you’re the last to know?
Stace has spent her entire life as the Valkyrie faction court princess. Now sent into a den of Hunter lions by her own father, her goal is find the one who took her twin brother, the heir to her own court. Her obstacles seem few, but there are other cloak-and-dagger factors at work.
Motherless since birth, no one to turn to, resolved to have answers, Stace accepts a Hunter’s aid. Stace’s brother is kept in what they thought was an abandoned warehouse, but soon finds out that the greater the plot thickens, there are more secrets around every corner. It’s guarded by the very Hunters she is now putting her trust in, her own father’s court, and the rumored heartless, evil plotted Vampire faction. Once she has the information she needs, she planned to leave the Hunters and begin a rescue mission, but that doesn’t even come close to the bigger plan she knows nothing about. She didn’t count on Calum Green getting in the way, nor making friends for the first time in her life with supposed enemy strangers who never hesitate to help her in her darkest moments.
And…others are marked like her. A prophecy that holds answers but no advice. What does it all mean? Weres? Vampires? She’s heard of their retributions if crossed the wrong way. Can she conquer this mission or just end up just playing out the fantasy prophecy she doesn’t understand anyway? Or will she uncover the greatest conspiracy the factions have ever held? And no human chose.
The story starts out with Calum and Stace and you think it's going great until...BAM! No spoilers here. But Cas comes along and...
The story is developed well and leaves you intrigued with what mystery surrounds the gods with Stace (Anastacia). When the clues start to unravel, you start to reanalyze what you originally thought.
Again, no spoilers.
But, overall great book and can't wait for the sequel.
The book opens with Mr. Hotness, Calum, making an appearance. Stace is new to the "boys" thing, but not to boys. She has been shielded for so long, she falls for the first guy.
But then...
No spoilers!!!
Great book intro and would like to see this turned into a longer series than just three books or so.
The first book in this series is a long one, but the twist at the end is worth the effort. You are introduced to Calum and just can't wait to find out where it will go. Then bam...Lord Cross steps into the picture. The whole god and goddess thing takes a twist that isn't like any other book. I like the constellations twist and curious to see if it follows the true "myth" of Orion.
A good installment in this series. The whole series is unique and compelling with fun characters and lots of suspense. Oh, and lots of men vying for the main character, a plus in my book. If you enjoy ya paranormal romance, this is a series to read! Four glittery stars!
