Mother of Darkness

Renegade Guardians #0.5

by Kyra Quinn

Living on the streets and forced to steal for survival, runaway Daeva Trevil thinks her life can’t get any worse. That is, until she’s dragged to Shadow City and forced to wed the god of chaos. She rules by Zanox’s side as Queen for years in hopes of finding a way back to Astryae, but her hopes of escape remain as elusive as the shadows around her.

When Zanox’s demons capture an injured Archangel, everything changes for Daeva. Secrets are revealed that leave her unsure who to trust. When Daeva makes a dangerous decision, she finds herself harboring a deadly secret of her own. Can she accomplish one final act of good before her humanity slips away forever?

Loved this book ! Really sets the stage for the books following it. Great colorful descriptions that take you away from reality.

This was an interesting prequel. I have not read any of the books in this series and this definitely piqued my interest.

I’m so glad I read this before “Daughter of Nightmares” Book 1 in the “Renagade Guardians” series. I the background and history of the demons and gods is well worth the read. This is the beginning of a very compelling series and the realism is amazing. The characters are interesting and you form a love/hate relationship with the gods and demons. The ending is the perfect setup for the next book. This is a must-read for this series.
I received a free review copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.

It was a little different. I took a star away because it was a cliffhanger. It seemed difficult to get into. That is why I didn't finish it in two weeks. I got this book from story origins and this is my voluntary and honest review.
