But when Blood Sorcerer attack Elden, she must flee and escape, then gather force to once again take over Elden from the enemy. With her parent's last help and dying wish, Brenna had teleported to the land of the Beserker..

After that he hate Elden with passion and become mercenary. So, he's so surprise when he find a beautiful woman in his bed. That beautiful woman of course is Brenna, who stumbled over to Osborn's home. Realized Osborn is beserker, Brenna asked for his help to gather force and help Brenna's brother, Nikolai to attack Elden, under Blood Sorcerer's reign. Osborn must fight his hatred to Elden, and his passion as well, since he's falling in love with that princess deeply.

Lord of Rage are less action and less steamy than the first. But I really enjoy the story. Dare I say this book is better than Lords of The Vampires? *gasp*Osborn is better than Nicolai ;), he such a bear, big man with big heart. Lord of Rage is a retelling of "Goldilocks and The Three Bears". I can enjoy this more than the first book, because the story most focused to Brenna and Osborn. To how they manage their relationship. No more confusing term here, because the world building already explain in the first book. Brenna and Osborn are so cute together and they are my favorite couple from this series. Ms Monroe's writing are good too, make readers can easily understand and enjoy the story =)

Royal House of Shadow series are a series that can't be missed by all of Paranormal Romance lovers.Readers will love the retelling of four fairy tales by four talented authors!
