Oh my. This could not have been more jam-packed full of things I love if the author reached into my brain.
Suraj is the demonic son of a warlord and a magician, used as a weapon against his father's enemies. When he's captured by rebels, he quickly falls head over heels for one of their number, an archer named
Madhava. He has to figure out how to reconcile his love for Madhava with the ideals his father has raised him to believe in all his life. And have some very kinky sex along the way!
I am a huge sucker for the "monster on a leash" trope and Wolf does it so amazingly here. Suraj's loyalty and the amount of trust he places in Madhava, and the way Madhava grows to trust him in return, is hot hot hot! Suraj is such a sweet, almost innocent protagonist (and yes I feel funny saying that considering he also, you know, kills a bunch of people, but it's true!) I loved his naïveté in the beginning, guilelessly swallowing all of his father's propaganda, and his insistence that everyone should just be able to get along was very charming. He's a great match to the more pragmatic Madhava, who is constantly questioning everything and fighting against his own inner darkness. Their affection for each other felt real and gave me all sorts of warm and fuzzy feelings. Honestly, despite the gore, I feel that this is one of Wolf's lighter works due to the love and respect Suraj and Madhava have for each other.
Do you like loyalty kink, consensual S&M, and characters giving into lust against their better judgement? Then this book will hit you in all the right places. As usual, Wolf's sensory details are A+ and the sex scenes always feel fresh and exciting. I found myself reading slowly just to make this book last longer, because I absolutely did not want it to end.
Warning: there is indeed a lot of gore and blood, and nameless extras get slaughtered by the dozens. Not for the squeamish. If you've got a strong stomach, though, give this book a try!
