Dark warlord Sebris will sacrifice anything to save his angelic dominion of Dregarus, even shed his own blood. Snatching the foretold mortal from her world is nothing—as long as she can find the missing artifact their realm desperately needs to survive. He expects a mere pawn, not a fragile human woman who confuses and tempts him, stirring in him a desire that is as dangerous as it’s deadly. … deadly.
After a freak accident lands florist Brenna Graham in a coma, she awakens to find herself in another world and in the care of a cold, ruthless immortal. The Darkrean leader both draws and terrifies her. Still, she’s furious over the abduction she unwittingly agreed to. But the longer she’s with him, the more she discovers an unexpected, tender side to the icy warlord. As barriers shatter and rigid laws are broken, an unabiding passion consumes them.
Except, time is not on their side in the dying, war-ridden world. But for a chance at a future and an ever-lasting love, they must fight for survival. When unseen enemies target Brenna, their bond is brutally tested. Sebris vows to bring down dominions to save the woman who became his heart…

I couldn’t wait to start reading this book and was not let down…. it’s a great second book in this series it’s well written with great characters like the first book and a brilliant storyline which follows on from book one. Needlessly to say I was hooked from.start to finish. And I can not wait for the third
Brenna wakes and discovers she’s not where she thinks she is. I have not read many PNR stories but this series has shown me I enjoy them. Sebris is a strong leader, but finds his heart is melting for the human he has put himself in charge of. Now he has to decide if he can keep her alive and make her his. Brenna has to decide if she can give up her life for this creature who says he can’t love, but keeps showing her the opposite every time they are together.
This is the second book in the series and I am so hooked and enamoured with it, and anxiously awaiting the next one. Sebris, the main male character is as cold as the world that he lives in, which is Dregarus. Dregarus is surviving, but only barely. Rebels have destroyed a large portion of the Rean Forest which is vital to this world. Sebris travels to Earth to locate a missing magical artifact what would put his world back together; but he must first find the human female who can find it for him. He comes across Brenna, a florist that dreams of opening her own nursery. She’s been hospitalized with a head injury after an outing with her friend. Sebris whisks her back to Dregarus to heal and learns that the artifact had shattered and pieces of it live within chosen mortal women, with Brenna being one. Without giving much more away, Brenna ultimately becomes his mate and her magic with plants begins the rejuvenation of the forest, but not without a lot of drama. This book does have a HEA but leaves you wanting more.
Sebris rules over Dregarus and the Darkreans which the Empryeans deem to be their sworn enemies and the bad guys. The land is always in winter. Sebris thinks Brenna is the one who will lead him to a missing artifact from his world after testing her blood. He finds so much more than he bargains for with her though. Brenna is Sebris heart and conscious and she teaches him about love. I loved the full development of the story and the change he underwent and discoveries made. I can’t wait to read more the Darkreans and Empryeans as they try to save their world. I volunteered to read this book.
I’m so happy I discovered this talented paranormal author. She has a deft touch with story telling and creating deep emotional ties among characters. This was Sebris and Brenna’s story, and it was a doozy!
A lot of the story took place in Dregarus, the realm of the Darkreans. It’s a cold and snowy world, and the people are in the middle of a civil war. They are also affected by the missing stones, since Dregarus is part of Empyrea. What we learn during this story is that the Darkreans aren’t the villains they have been portrayed as. They are intelligent, brave and layered people with a deep commitment to saving their world. Brenna has magic in her that’s important to Dregarus and while she learns about her fate, she falls for the people of the realm.
I loved the way Hunter connects characters from the other book in this story. We revisited characters that helped move the story forward, and the world building continued to be stellar. Again, the mythology is simple enough to follow, and there is a fabulous glossary in the beginning of the book. But it’s still written with the intelligent reader in mind. Devoid of cliches and full of fascinating character insight, this book doesn’t dumb anything down. Hunter treats the reader with just as much love and respect as her characters. The relationship between Sebris and Brenna slowly built, and the updates during the story were realistic and beautifully drawn. There were a couple of colloquillisms that weren’t native to NYC, so I would only say that the editor needs to be careful. But they did NOT ruin my experience with this phenomenal book.
I’m fully invested in Hunter’s books, including the characters from her Guardian series. Extraordinarily beautiful and wondrous, this book is another great book in a memorable series.
Scintillating Story of Survival and Romance!!
The realm of dark warlord Sebris is dying. No children have been born in 2000 years. A fragile mortal woman must find an artifact to save his world. A frozen world where just a few minutes could mean the demise of his captive.
A magical world of curses, rebels, cold and destined mates. Intricate story which will keep you breathless from beginning to end. I can’t recommend this story enough!!
*** I am voluntarily leaving my honest review of this book ***
I absolutely loved this action packed book! The hot steamy scenes were fantastic and ice melting. We have sweet, romance loving Brenna being taken by Mr Icicle himself. It seems Brenna is one of the Chosen too. She has suffered a head injury after the goddess who was after Eve caused an accident. She willingly went to Dregarus with Sebris so she can recover. He has to convince her to help him save his world and he has to keep her safe. She is a little spitfire and starts melting Mr Icicle. I loved the Glossary being in the front of this book. I referred back to it quite often.
I wish I had read Book 1! This is an enthralling story of a war-torn world that Brenna unexpectedly finds herself in. I really enjoyed her story – it was captivating and entertaining, with the powerful Lord Sebris finding himself falling head over heels, willing to do anything to keep Brenna safe. He’s the ultimate control freak, and he was the epitome of sexy, broody alpha! This was a slow-burn romance that heated up towards the second half, but it was fun getting there. Great world-building and a great cast of characters!
Okay, this one, in my opinion, was so much better than the first one. i loved the connection that these two and was pulled right into the world that the author created, I can’t wait to read more.
