Blurb: Tallant is an elf astray—he’s been disowned by his family, has dared to battle bond with a human, and has no desire to ever see his homeland again. He is, in fact, vastly more excited to finally be seeing the home his battle-bonded, Milton, is finally returning to after twelve years of exile.
But instead of the joyful place Milton spoke endlessly of, they find a land rife with deadly dragons, where fifteen women have gone missing, including Irene, the woman Milton loves.
Even Milton’s brother, Cecil, is not what he used to be. Instead of the scholar Milton talked about, Cecil is a hardened soldier who keeps company with thieves. He is also beautiful and intriguing—but contemptuous of Milton and Tallant. Worse, he’s also married to Irene, making it clear that Milton and Tallant have arrived far too late to matter.

Review: Although I liked the idea of the story the overall feel of the book was not what I expected. I did not like Cecil’s hot and cold attitude at all and felt he played to big a role in the story than was necessary.
Milton was more of a secondary character that I felt deserved a bigger role. I was surprised that Tallant and Milton was not the actual couple of the story as they seemed to better suited to one another.
Overall it was an interesting mix and good read.
