The Sky Clan of the Taori is an alien romance series that follows the immortal army of Taori. A Taori is an alien species plagued with a mating fever called the Quaibyn that takes place every 10 years. If the fever goes unquenched, the Taori goes insane, becoming Sythians, which are dragon-like creatures and the very plaque that the brothers of the sky clan are hunting. The Taori are horned aliens with the skin tone of humans, but covered in dark tribal-like tattoos that detail their destinies. They have dark hair, colored eyes, ram-like horns and tails. The sky clan winds up flying through a time portal in space that puts them five hundred years into the future in Earth’s galaxy. Their ship is attacked and blown from the sky by a species called the Xulonians. The Xulonians are a weak, paranoid species that avoids interaction with other species, secluding themselves to their dying planet. They mined their own planet until it became unable to sustain a pleasant life, and the wealthiest of their species escape by the means of entertainment. Most of the Taori boarded escape pods and fled the destruction of their ship, landing on Xulon's Moorla moons, which were pleasure moons for the purpose of entertainment. During this futuristic timeline, Hettite slavers overtook an Empire ship that held several humans, most scientists, killing all the men and taking the women hostage. The Hettite sold the female humans to the Xulonians, who placed the humans onto their Moorla moons. This series covers the survival of these female humans and male Taoris as they fight for survival on these moons.
Written in first person, Storm is book five (and I believe final) of the series, and follows a Taori alien named Kaos who was kalesh Naz's first officer for the Taori Sky Clan and his human counterpart Kensie, both of which ended up on the combat Moorla moon, where the Xulonians paid to watch and place bets in gladiator events. Kaos had just been captured and hadn't yet fought in the games when we first met him in book 4, before Naz helped everyone escape. Kensie was one of the female servants/slaves that were provided to the winners, who we were also introduced to in book 4.
The first two books involved the main characters running for their lives on the hunting moon and in effect, having to kill their pursuers. The third book had very little killing. I think only one Xulonian was killed at the end. That book involved the main couple participating in a sex driven competition amongst other players, which was held in a sexual atmosphere while a Taori was fighting his Quaibyn. This book, along with book 4 was set on a gladiator fighting moon.
Kensie had slipped and fell from the escape shuttle at the end of book 4 and Kaos had dove after her. This book picked up where that one left off. The two fight to survive the unforgiving desert all while waiting for Naz to rescue them, and while Kaos fought his mating fever. Surprisingly, it wasn't Naz that came to their rescue, but Raas Ronan of the Vandar. Ronan offered his assistance in battling the Xulonians. (Read "Prodigal" of the Vandar series to follow his story after they leave the Taori.)
Kaos and Kensie develop a strong bond and feelings for each other along the journey, ultimately falling in love. The romance scenes were every bit the fire one would hope for. First intercourse took place in chapter 26 at the 57% mark. I am a personal believer that anything after the 47% point is dangling the cheese for so long that it molds. I've had a difficult time visualizing the author's description of the Taori cock. It's described as a "huge cock with three heads." Wtf does that even mean? 🤨 What I've finally come up with is imagining three different sized umbrellas (or maybe mushrooms?) with thick handles (or stems) stacked on top of each other. The widest mushroom is on the bottom (at the base closest to the balls) with a thinner one in the middle and an even skinnier on top. The handles/stems create the shaft and each crown creates a ridged separation connecting into the next stem. It's not quite the sex toy with 3 different sized balls on a singular base, but it's close. What I especially love about sex with the Taori is the "mating clench." Their cocks swell, locking (or knotting) the couple together. So you better like the alien you're fucking, because you are going to be stuck together for a while. Lol
Both parties fought the bond because they were both hurt in the past. Kaos's mate had betrayed him for his brother and Kensie grew attached to a human fighter that died in the games.
I recommend the read, if this is your cup of tea. It’s the perfect book length; not too long, not too short, but juuuuust right. It could use a bit more bow-chick-a-wow-wow in my personal opinion. Since the Taori have officially returned to their own timeline at the end, it's probably safe to say that this series is finished. I'm kinda happy because this story had become somewhat boring. I think even the author grew tired of it by the end because her writing lacked conviction. I have a hard time getting into dramatic books where the main characters fight their feelings and create unnecessary conflict. I look forward to whatever TANA STONE has in store for us next. 🫶
