Sometimes you need to fall on your knees to rise.
Centuries ago Lucien’s family and pack were slaughtered and betrayed by family. Lucien was then enslaved for five hundred years by the demon who killed his succubus mother.
One thousand years later his powers as Alpha and Incubus are growing. He is now ready to take his rightful place as Alpha Supreme, but first, he must claim a reluctant mate and escape from under the heel of his possessive Vampire master Sargon.
Lucien is a hybrid shifter in a world where being unpure is not tolerated. Lucien should have never been born. Enter a dark and savage paranormal world, where being weak is stamped out and exploited. Being dominant and unapologetic is key to survival.
Follow Lucien as he seeks vengeance against the uncle that betrayed him and the demon who enslaved him and murdered his mom. Where secrets, allies with hidden agendas, and political jousting determine the fates of many.
REVIEW:
Well, this was not what I expected. And the way the book ended. Not happy. I don’t even know if you can call a cliffhanger as it’s more of simply just cut off. The End. It was over. I have always loved action stuff. Blood and guts don’t bother me. BDSM doesn’t bother me for the most part. But I have some personal things that keep me from liking it more. As much as I was disappointed, I’m almost anxious to see where the next book will lead.
Lucien is the typical alpha type. But he’s even more so because of his demon side (incubi) and his werewolf side. He’s a hybrid. But he also has a past. He had to watch some things happen to his family and was enslaved and tortured himself. Not an easy thing to live with. And he’s old. So lots of time to think. And even though he was saved, he went from being a slave to one to being a slave to another. At least with Sargon he’s treated a little better. I feel sorry for him for his past and such but damn he can be an asshole too. But I guess I feel the most for him because of all he’s had to endure….and he still has to fight.
But when he finds his mate is when I cringe. I feel sorry for his mate. So much so. He is thrown into a world he knows nothing about. And even with all he’s seen with his own eyes, he still can’t believe. Even after seeing the change in Lucien. I can’t say too much more about that. It will give stuff away.
If you are into bondage and forcing, and things of that nature, this is your book. Especially if you like paranormal as well. Give it a try. See what you think.
