The dragons mostly are evil, and Lysander’s clan is intent on ruling above all.

A dedicated focus of hers is to spread her genetic line and she has little care for who she mates with, and it is implied that includes her offspring. The queen is a true villain with a strong magical presence and no redeeming qualities. Eroan’s only focus in life has always been to kill the queen, and now that he is inside the castle, he will fight until there is no fight left in him. One visit gives Eroan hope to try and survive his ordeal. The book opens with Eroan as a prisoner with Lysander visiting him. I’m not going to break down all the immense details of the story as the twists and turns are vast and more impactful when experienced one by one. Just seeing where this first book started and ended, it invokes the feeling of a legendary quest and a love story between enemies that will no doubt be epic by the end of the third book. The Silk and Steel series is a trilogy that will take Lysander and Eroan through an incredible journey. The story was everything I hoped it would be and then even a little more. I had not been familiar with this author or this series, but when I saw the description, it really seemed like my type of book. And with that thought, destinies are changed and a love story is born against all odds. Lysander and Eroan may be true enemies and true warriors and while Lysander doesn’t think he can save himself, he may be able to save one prideful elf. The prince and the elf forge an unspoken bond in their plan to take down the queen and a spark is lit between them. But when Lysander takes an interest in Eroan, the queen also takes an interest in Eroan, and Eroan sees his opportunity.

Most elves never return home as the queen still lives and now Eroan has been captured, tortured, and held prisoner. He has no other purpose other than to kill the queen. If Lysander can’t increase the family line, his time will most certainly run out.Įroan has been trained as an elf assassin. The queen has no use for Lysander if he can’t spread her genetic line and Lysander has no interest in having children, nor interest in women, something the queen sees as a failure. Prince Lysander is the son of the queen, but he is essentially a prisoner.

The human race has no fight left against the dragons and if the queen has her way, the elves will be next. The queen has no room for disobedience or failures, even from her own offspring. If you do not fall in line, there is no future as her wrath will take you out. Audiobook Buy Links: Amazon/Audible | iBooks
