Synopsis (Goodreads):
Forbidden. Powerful. Ruthless.Thoughts on Ruthless: The mysterious Viori (aka, the more than slightly feral sister of Kaysar) puts in an appearance and she's pretty wild. Literally. Having lived a life without a whole lot of non-monstrous contact, she's not exactly civilized. Which is actually okay with Micah because he's not exactly civilized either.
Micah the Unwilling, fae King of the Forgotten, can tame even the most violent of beasts. Forged on the battlefield, this iron-willed warrior considers his soldiers his family, and he will stop at nothing to reclaim their dispossessed land. Gearing for war with a sadistic enemy, he is disciplined and focused—until a feral beauty he encountered long ago wanders into his camp.
Viori de Aoibheall wields a terrifying ability to sing monsters to life. Having spent her childhood in a forest, raising herself and her frightening creations—the only friends she’s ever known—she’s ill prepared for the scarred royal and his fearsome brutality. Not to mention the ferocity of their connection and the carnality of his touch. But the real problem? Her brother is Micah’s greatest foe. And though the sensual king makes her burn, she must stop him, whatever the cost.
As it turns out, Micah is also VERY taken with her. Having seen her briefly years before, he's never forgotten the beautiful sleeping woman surrounded by monsters. Given that his dual abilities make those around him extremely uncomfortable, he doesn't hold out a lot of hope that anything can come of them in the long run, BUT...Viori surprises him. She might hiss and scratch and threaten to do bodily harm on a daily basis, but she doesn't shy away from him like most do.
That said, theirs is not an easy path. Micah is the slayer of the things Viori creates. She's also the sister (although it takes her a looooong time to admit it to him) of his current greatest enemy. They're working against each other half the time and they don't even realize it.
Until, you know, they do.
More than a few monsters, a little betrayal here and there (okay, actually, there's more than a little), kings and queens who are slightly unhinged, magic, unexpected alliances, and a whole lot of steam. *thumbs up*
