Sachielle of House Roquebarre is the 31st consort to be presented to the dragon god that protects the Sheltered Lands. The previous 30 have not survived long. There are many rumors about the monstrous entities, but Sachielle, along with her handmaiden Zanya, have their own secrets. They are orphans trained to kill gods, and they are on a mission, with limited time for success. If the Dragon is not killed in the next five weeks, then Sachi will die and her soul will be destroyed. As they meet the people and gods whom the Dragon calls friends and family, Sachi and Zanya learn that the Dragon is more than they believed. The Dragon also knows there is more to the two beautiful women than was he told, and he will do all in his power to possess them both. The story layers are peeled back slowly enough to immerse readers, and several erotic scenes showcase the relationships between Sachi and Zanya, the women and Dragon, and other characters.
VERDICT Rocha’s (“Mercenary Librarians” series) new offering is set in a rich, erotic fantasy world, filled with lush characters and a magical landscape of secrets, power, and betrayal.
