Tendira is a world of beastly shifters and deadly monsters… except me.
The Human Queen.
When my home is taken over by an angry pack who wants me dead, I'm forced to run, so I go to the one place my attackers won't dare
The Blood Pack.
But the Blood Alpha watches his territory more closely than I imagined. His people catch me, and drag me to their capitol. And instead of killing me, they decide to keep me.
The problem?
They have no idea who I am.
So now if I want to stay alive, I have to make the most ruthless pack in Tendira believe I'm one of them.
That plan goes surprisingly well... until the Alpha decides he wants me as his mate.
Then I'm a human pretending to be a shifter, a queen pretending to be powerless, and a woman pretending not to fall in love with the deadliest shifter that's ever existed.
I'll die if I go back to my castle, but if the Blood Pack discovers my lies, I'll suffer a fate far worse than death.
And with my survival on the line, I can't afford to lose anything to the Blood Alpha…
Especially my heart.

This may be my favorite Lola Glass series so far. I just really loved the main characters and their dynamic plus the shifter world created was a fun premise.
Meza is a human in a world of shifters. Seeing the Queen of the Royal Pack also known as the Shifter Queen and Saoul of Tendira, murdered in front of her eyes, doubled by the fact that she has also seen, the same day, the demise of the King, prompts Meza to flee the castle and seek a place to hide until the time is right.
It has always been a custom for a human born female to be adopted by the Shifter Queen and to ascend the throne once the actual Queen dies. In this case, Meza is the new Queen but cannot ascend her throne for multiple reasons. Luckily her personal guards have the reflexes to propel her out of arms way and to battle the invaders while Meza makes her escape.
Like the saying goes, out of the frying pan and into the fire. Meza ends up in the Blood Pack territory where she is attacked and rescued by Tulsan, the Blood Pack Alpha.
I cannot continue further without revealing part of the story and prefer to let the reader discover this great read.
The author has written, through her great gift, a story of shifters, shifter honor, loyalty and shifter pack that grabs the reader's attention from the start and take him or her on a virtual adventure in this world of treachery, murder, love, retribution, friendship, code of honor, Fated mates as well as deception where the story quickly turns into a page turner that I highly recommend and rate 5 Stars.
The only negative point, not strong enough to retrieve a star, is that the ending is abrupt and left this reader wondering if the main character had fulfilled her destiny or not, in this, the first part of the trilogy.
Pillar of the Wolves.
Meza is now out in the open as Meza Royale, Queen of the shifters as well as Saoul of Tendira.
She fears the rejection that Tulsan could feel towards her, she has to, currently watch her back as she has direct knowledge that one of her friends and member of her personal guard is a traitor.
In addition, she arrives just in time for the challenge that will chose a mate for her will get underway imminently.
The author continues to amaze me as she, in my own opinion, written a sequel to a series that is even better than the first one. A real page turner that I highly recommend and rate 5 stars and highly recommend.
Anchor of the Beasts
When Mesa dies, the shifters' humanity side dies with her and even though Tuslan manages to bring her back a short time after the darkness overtook her, All shifters still went feral.
Once rested, after being brought back, Mesa has to figure out a way to use her magic to reconnect back everyone in Tendira to their humanity.
Although Tuslan is with her, he is still Feral and time to reconnection appears to be limited.
Tendira, Tuslan and all my friends and loved ones cannot remain in that state.
The author continues in her pursuit and succeeds in writing, in my own opinion, a great ending to a series that is one of the best I have read this year. A real page turner that I highly recommend and rate 5 stars and highly recommend.
New to Lola Glass, excited to have a new fave author
This is the entire trilogy. If you are looking for smutty, this isn't the series for you. 😁 Yes, there is romance and sex but not like the other rimamce books out there. The best book for me was the 2nd book. In the first book, the main character kept repeating her fears, which wasn't a big deal but got a bit annoying by the end. The romance was cute and endearing. The last book was good, but I skipped some parts to get to the dialogue. It tied up the story nicely. Best order for action: 2,3,1. Best order for romance: 1,3,2 Great world building, so much so I was sad to have it end. I will definitely be reading more of her books.
I keep coming back to this story. Every time I’m in a book funk or just want something good to read I reread this. There’s just something about this that’s so real. Yes it’s paranormal/mythological but it resonates with me so deeply. I love Mesa and Tuslan as a couple, the strengths and weaknesses. Are they the perfect book couple, no because perfection isn’t real. What is real is the connection and feeling that their story creates when I read it.
Mesa is a survivor, she runs after her foster Mum is killed in front of her and this is the story of what happens next. Not your average boy meets girl, there is a heap of adventure in a whole new world with people who can shift into different creatures - apart from Mesa, the only human. Mesa and her unexpected new man have a gorgeous relationship that grows slowly and is built on mutal respect, a pleasure to read.
The magic system is sometimes confusing but overall this is a fun series. I read to the end and enjoyed it quite a bit. My only complaint is how one dimensional Tuslan is. He’s just the Ideal Boyfriend who is perfectly perfect in every way and it is a bit much. He even apologizes when she’s truly just dealing with her issues and he didn’t do anything really wrong. But overall I had a good time in Tendira
I loved this series so much, the back and forth, the chase, the uncertainty at times. The way this showed the worries that falling in love can bring with our own insecurities. The trust and faith grow as they both get to know each other. The characters become real with each turn of the page.
I wanted to keep reading to find out what happened next. Characters were relatable and interesting. I enjoyed reading all three books. I also enjoyed the fact that there was more than one shifted form for the shifters. Some hot scenes but not a overload of sex. There was a good balance found here.
I loved this. It's so much more than the typical werewolf romance. It involves ancient magic, prejudices, hatred, friendship and romance. You quickly fall in love with the couple and discover unexpected secrets and forms
Absolutely loved this nicely priced box set. Lola has a fantastic imagination. The writing flows so easily and keeps you wondering what is going to happen next. I could not put it down. The characters and back story were well written and fun to read. ☺️
this is the most a!axing trilogy I have ever read I loved it so much I couldn't stop I wish there was more......like if the other shifter mates love stories as well needless to say hands down an a!adding story and characters
This was a beautiful series. I loved it. The whole plot was beautifully written and flowed smooth. The characters got their happily ever afters and just deserts. I would definitely; and will be, reread this series again.
