I have waited a long time to hold a book by Becca Abbott in my hot little hands. Her stories were always filled with pain and heartache, yet tempered with passion and sweetness.
SL Publishing has picked a real gem to be their first foray into print books. This is going to appeal to the yaoi fans, as well as to fans of m/m fiction who want a good dose of high fantasy with their relationships.
I happen to be a sucker for high fantasy, so this book pushed all of my happy buttons.
Stefn is a sin-eater. Sin-eaters are humans who are born with a deformity and everything that goes wrong is laid to blame at their feet. Despised by his family because of his deformity, Stefn spends his days wrapped up in ancient histories and books.
There's a revolution brewing. The church, which Stefn's family owes full allegiance has grown corrupt and power hungry. The king of the land is in a drug addled haze. The king's brother will do everything in his power to save the kingdom of Tanrin; even if it means bringing back forbidden Naran sorcery.
A coup is staged, and Stefn is the only male member of his family left alive.
He's left alive for one reason, to serve as the conduit of power for Michael Arranz, who's descended from the demon race of Naragi. Michael's blood is one of the purest left, and he needs a conduit if the plans to save the country are to be fruitful.
Enter in Stefn - abused, sheltered and believing fully that the demon race is bad, and that he must do everything in his power to thwart Michael's plans.
Yet, it's hard to rebel when you're very being is tied to what you hate most in the world - When it holds you in a web of pleasure and friendship, greater than anything that Stefn has ever known.
