3.5 Stars
This was probably my least favorite book in the trilogy for this couple (books 4-6 of the overall series), but I still enjoyed it. Overall, I would give this series a rating of 4 stars as compared to other books of its kind (omegaverse).
I really enjoy the world Ellis has created with this series and I just love the whole Alphs/Omega shtick in general. I also really like the series' magic element and this trilogy went deeper into that topic.
At the end of the day though, I just love well-written omegaverse books, and Ellis brings that in spades.

Reign To Rule is the much-anticipated conclusion to Malloron and Amara's tale and what a finale this was I am suitably impressed with how well the author has connected all the threads here and given such a fantastic heartwarming outcome.
After the cliffhanger events of the previous instalment, I really couldn't wait to sink my teeth into this and I certainly wasn't disappointed.
This is a five star read all the way: one filled with so much emotional turmoil.
So, After what Maloron sees as Amara's betrayal he has now closed himself off to protect his newly discovered fragile heart from future hurt and pain: going against his very Alpha nature he almost rejects His Omega causing so much distress and confusion on the part of Amira.
Amara herself is also conflicted but knows that ultimately what she wants is to build a bridge and connect properly as a mated and soul-bonded pair.
Here we are finally treated to answers and Malloron himself makes the ultimate sacrifice of devotion which leaves Amara in no doubt of his care and affections.
Malloron really does evolve as a ruler here Amara's influence having such a positive effect on his whole attitude.
Don't get me wrong he is still the stubborn self-serving man we have come to love but with a new focus: honouring and pleasing his queen: baby steps.
So where one door closes another does open and Reign to rule sets the stage nicely for its next focus and I for one can't wait to continue exploring this fascinating imaginative world.
This is a fabulous Omegaverse series that I recommend highly.
I voluntary reviewed an Arc of Reign To Rule (Myth of Omega, #6).
All opinions expressed are entirely my own.

The constant meddling of the Mothers is tiresome. Once again, there is no grovel and everything is neatly resolved with a conversation or two.

A very satisfying conclusion to a great trilogy
I've forgotten how many times I've gone from hating Malloron to liking him to hating him again. Knowing some of the awful things that befell him as a child, though, it is easy to understand his lack of trust.
There was just so much story in this book, from the battle with other rulers, to the rescuing of the children, and the betrayal by those who should have been close to the couple, well there was always something happening. Always some mountain to climb. And through it all we had two enemies with trust issues being brought together by the bond of being true mates.
I loved how unpredictable the story was, and I was totally blind tosome most of the foreshadowing in the book. I couldn't turn the pages quickly enough, and yet at the same time I didn't want to ever finish the story. Particularly since Malloran and Amara are my new favourite Alpha/omega couple.
A fantastic omegaverse fantasy story series that I highly recommend.

This review is for all three books. While the MC's relationship is a standalone, they -- and much of the world-building -- were introduced in the previous trilogy and this starts in medias res. Note, too, that the first two books end in cliffhangers.
Reign is the second trilogy set in this quasi-Medieval, alternate universe, Earth-like planet. The conceit in this particular Omegaverse is that Omegas have been vanishing for decades and, without them, Alphas are in danger of dying out. Recently, however, Omegas have been found and each trilogy concentrates on a different Alpha/Omega couple. While they contain similar plot points and an overarching narrative structure (elite Alpha discovers hidden Omega spy whose attitude towards her dynamic is highly ambivalent; an enemies-to-lovers relationship complicated by competing goals and mistrust; an Alpha initially too harsh to his Omega until he realizes that he may lose her; and a mutual enemy who comes between them), enough distinctions exist for this trilogy not to read like a retread. The Alpha here, cerebral tactician Malloron, differs, for example, from the more warrior-like Drocco. And Reign emphasizes Talent (magic) much more.
Comparisons between the two trilogies are inevitable and perhaps some readers will be Team Drocco while others are Team Malloron. I'm not exactly either, but I did prefer the first one to this. Now, I did enjoy this: Ms. Ellis excels at world-building; her characters are complex, of varying shades of gray, and capable of growth; and her Omegas do have some agency. I particularly appreciated that this trilogy included a gay couple who were among the more interesting secondary characters.
That said, we all have our lines in the sand when it comes to Omegaverse and this trilogy crossed mine: I can only have so much interest in a human trafficker who keeps sex slaves -- particularly when the reason why Malloron does so isn't all that compelling. In addition, given that Amara nurses two slaves who die from their physical and psychological injuries, Malloron's refusal to see the human cost of his way of life gives new meaning to the word "willed blindness" (ironic given one specific plot development).
More importantly, until the end, I never felt the connection between Malloron and Amara. While Alphas always use Omegas for certain purposes -- even those who genuinely love them -- they tend to be mutually fulfilling (pleasurable sex, babies), but here Malloron used Amara to gain something that benefits only him, injuring her pretty badly in the process. Indeed, he consistently harms her (though somewhat inadvertently) and endangers her: much of what happens to them could have been avoided if he had just told her the truth and I don't understand why he didn't. Side Note: Those .
I have other quibbles: the manuscript needed one more proofing; the second book was unnecessarily repetitive (first Amara wanted Malloron, then she didn't, then she did, etc.); and because these books take place in the same location, I didn't see as much variety among them as I did with the previous ones. Finally, one of my pet peeves in this genre is any woman who feels she has to uphold a bargain with a man who doesn't do the same.
4 stars. Malloron reminds me of the mythical Icarus: like that character, his hubris and complacency in his quest for knowledge and power will cost him a lot. Thankfully, however, the stories end very differently. There's another trilogy after this.
Addendum: While I understand why Malloron .

Tough series to get through. Lack of communication and acceptance between characters was very frustrating.
December 5, 2018
OMG! DEFINTELY DOES NOT DISAPPOINT!!!
IT. DOES. NOT. DISAPPOINT.
LIKE. NOT.ONE BIT.
The following review is based on the ARC I received from the author in return for an honest review.
Okay, the m/f omega verse genre is my guilty pleasure. And this series in particular just stokes my obsession for all things dark and wild xD.
Still it was controlled...
...But Amara and Malloran's story just...just sent it SPIRALLING out of control!
Reign to Ravage's ending was brutal. Freaking brutal - there is no other way to describe it. How it ended was so, so traumatic - yet you could not help but feel for both Amara and Malloron and the reasons why they both did what they did.
She couldn't trust him, she had her mission.
He couldn't trust her, but refused to let her go.
The result?
PAIN.
(And a cliffhanger which I cannot help but describe as 'ingeniously cruel'.)
And, when she refused to bite him in turn, knowing full well he would go insane and DIE... just sort of broke my heart a little. Okay. Maybe a lot.
So, I was hopping mad, and lowkey obsessed to start on Reign to Rule - and hoping that the final book would explain the angst, the heartbreak and the reasons which drove the two truemates apart.
This review contains no spoilers, so worry not!
Malloron:
Dark, brooding, unashamedly sociopathic. Comes across as cruel and willing to do whatever it takes to achieve his aims....which decidedly are horrific.
Or are they?
The main contention is his utter lack of trust and paranoia about letting others in, trauma which stems from his less than stellar childhood and something he absolutely refuses to let go off. As an alpha who believes trust invites trouble and deception, how will he deal with Amara who is determined to outwit him? Will he let it go, or will he lose her?
Amara:
Torn between her rising feelings for Malloron and the fate of the children she is determined to rescue, who will she choose? In this book, she has to make a choice - between her Alpha who no longer trusts her and her mission which may no longer be what she thought it was.
And boy oh boy - was it not!
What I found super intriguing throughout the series (What I wanted answered):
A. Malloron's reasons.
The children and the reason behind the Pleasure houses - Malloron may be cruel, sadistic ruler with a penchant for torture, but is he really so evil? Zoey Ellis uses just the right amount of clues, the right amount of friction in his personality - something which keeps the reader on their toes and guessing about his motives and his intentions. (Seriously, if the HEA was not assured, I would have been a hot mess while reading it, I kid you not.)
B. The Children and what would happen to them.
Everything is answered perfectly. I was a bit concerned as to how it all would be wrapped up and explained in the final book - but it was.
Why I loved this book:
I seriously loved this pair, as the two could not have been more different, yet more suited to each other. In a way both needed each other to grow, to accept and temper each other's negative points and bring out their better ones.
In this book you see just how fundamental Amara is to Malloron, not just as his Omega but as his Queen. Yes, his Queen. (Let's not forget the Visant line was highly unpopular and literally facing plots and open rebellion...)
Also, we see Malloron finally accepting Amara as something more. (he already knew it, but hadn't really wanted to) However, this realization sparks off more of his 'trust' issues which do lead to a LOT of painful angst.
Yet, the way the author is able to look at both sides of the story, bring out and present their emotions and reasoning for their actions, is right on point. That is perhaps the most enjoyable part - as it it makes you think and decide on your own without any sort of bias.
Though, that is also what ends up torturing you too....as;
You love someone or hate someone...but you get why* they did what they did at the same time as well.
This was definetly a great book and handsdown a turbulent read. If you love angst, omegaverse, and that tale of dark, torturous romance which keeps you up all night obsessed....
....you do NOT want to miss this!

And this is the end of Malloron and Amara's chapter in the Myth of Omega series. These book have been high and low for me but I keep coming back to them. This concludes the mothers and omega sister's mission in King Malloron's castle and the mystery of the children. Amara's and Malloron's love/hatred/betrayal is unraveled and the Kingdom finds stability.

Dude, Malloron freaking SUCKS. Zero out of ten dentists recommend this guy. He straight up runs a sex trafficking empire and enslaves children by forcing them into comas so he can feed off their energy for his own power. Amara deserves better. #JusticeForAmara

4.5* STARS!!
An alpha with huge trust issue.
After the desperate attempt to save his Omega, Amara, King Malloron once again felt betrayed. But her safety is top priority for now. A foolish noble tried to challenge King Malloron's authority and kidnapped Amara. As clever as he is, King Malloron make an ally with his guest. A tribe from the South. Despite his trust issue to trust another, he must save Amara.
So close yet so far.
Amara finally back to King Malloron's arms especially after their pair-bond in haze. Of course, it wasn't long for her to carry their offspring. Amara needs stronger connection to King Malloron but unfortunately, he didn't feel the same. King Malloron became a stranger like their first encounter. He only came to fuck and leave her alone. Amara feels frustrated. Truthfully, she's still in denial with their bond, but she couldn't describe the needy sensation between herself, the tenabrae, and the child she carry.
Long live the Alpha King and Omega Queen.
King Malloron closed himself because of his trust issue, of course but it didn't really take long. He finally started to open himself. His violent childhood and all the secrets. It seems Amara's original mission tell another story that she should put a stop to. Anyway, I reallyyy love this book. It has more action and feelings. I adore both King Malloron and Amara. They have chemistry and inseparable. When Amara finally understand her role, she wants to be treat as equal position to King Malloron. And yes, King Malloron isn't your bad-boy-turns-into-good type. He's still in control and manipulative but less "ambiguous". Overall, I really satisfied with their happy ending.

Even though a few things annoyed me about the abuse I think it made this book (the whole series) feel like a real story since nothing is ever perfect. This also caused me to be emotionally invested in the book as I was angry and sad about various events. And I guess that kinda is what makes a good book, if it makes you cry and laugh.
I also liked how it isn’t just the sex that is uncensored but also the brutal realities of for example child slavery or sexual abuse within a family. It’s of course extremely sad and disturbing but those things do happen and talking about it also made the book feel very real and emotional in my opinion.
I love how complex the characters are. Especially the love interest. Malloron is very well written which really brought him to life.

For hours, I was glued to my ereader and I don’t want to stop. I have waited months for this last installment and I must say it made me so happy it turned out great. Malloron is swoon worthy. The conclusion to Malloron and Amara’s story is quite mellow compared to Drocco and Cailyn’s but I am still glad with the outcome. Now I am excited for Shaya’s book. I am picturing it to be like Khal Drogo and Daenerys, well I hope it will be like that.
The Myth of Omega Series is my first omegaverse book and I am seriously addicted. I was wary to read such dark books with taboo themes but I am embracing the dark now and I am not going back to the light anytime soon I guess. Lol

Whew, what a ride.
I was not a fan of Malloron when I read Drocco's books. But I have to admit he totally grew on me.
Cunning, calculating and deceptive.
Amara was a strong character but no match for Malloron.
I really tried to think a way how this magic part will resolve and I have to say in a million years I wouldn't have come up with that.
I cannot pinpoint why I love this series so much. Are they perfect? No, they have some plot holes here and there, despite them I still love this series, and will continue to read Kardos and Shaya story.

I don't know that I will ever actually like any of Ellis's H's in this series, but the ending was better than what I was expecting. Talk about a damn character arc! It wasn't quite a 180, but it was close. And because of how Ellis writes the story, I think I can get behind it and see the gradual movement. Good stuff, will keep reading into the next trilogy of this series.

Favorite One
This by far was my favorite book. I love to read when the Alpha's finally surrender. Zoey Ellis did a good job with this couple's story.

Loved this last book about this couple, all things were answered:))
September 4, 2021
So, so much of the angst between Malloran and Amara could have been cleared up by honest conversations. Mysteries that have hung between them are finally answered in this book. Malloran is a massive manchild for about half the book. Seriously, just talk to each other.
Story 4/5, Heat 2/5, Darkness 2/5, Angst 4/5. Fastish burn, nesting, pregnancy, humiliation and cruelty. I rated this 4 stars for overall satisfaction for how this all tied up. If I rated it based on Malloran’s childish behavior it would have been 2/5. No separation in this book though she very briefly goes to the Mothers trying to fix a wrong you can imagine how the manchild reacted to that. He has a tragic past blah blah blah. Own your shit, manchild. No cheating, no cliffhanger and HEA for couple.

Now that I've finished this trilogy I can safely say it is my favorite of the series (well, I haven't actually read Kardos and Shaya's story yet but I don't feel compelled to, so I don't know if I will. I've read reviews that say their relationship is more brutal than Drocco and Cailyn's, and certainly more than Malloron and Amara's, and I don't really like that aspect of these books. I just put up with it because I haven't been able to find an M/F omegaverse book that's not dark, toxic and/or abusive so far, but it's not something I enjoy).
I love Malloron. Like I said on my review of the first book, he's smart, complex and just compelling. I felt so much empathy for his pain and even his darkness, his cruelty and his tendency for manipulation were hard to condemn him for when it was so easy for me to understand where it came from. His relationship with his siblings was so painful to read about and the pain he carried for the betrayals of his past deeply moved me. I found myself rooting for him most of the time, even when he wanted things that seemed a bit irrational. I loved the epilogue the most.
Precisely because I adore Malloron so much, it was easy for me to hate Amara and blame her whenever their relationship was struggling (which I know it's unfair but, fuck it, I don't care). After what she did in the second book, it took me longer to forgive her than it did Malloron himself . But I did forgive her in the end and I have to admire her resilience and her own inherent power. Besides, she's kinda cool.
The whole thing with the children... disturbed me. But besides that, I enjoyed this book a lot. And, much like with the first trilogy, the ending knew where to hit me.

“Myth of Omega” is Zoey Ellis’s Omega-verse series. The author has developed what has become a signature format for this series following a single couple/story arch across three books. As of this review she has now penned the love stories of three couples (x3 books each series) published across a total of 9 unique titles. With one Novella thrown in for a total of 9.5 titles.
Myth of Omega’s second x3 installment “Reign” introduces us to follows the story of Alpha King Malloron (magic caster from west) and Omega spy Amara. We’ve already meet Malloron from the previous 3 book arch where he was cast as the villain, kidnapping the heroine in hopes of forcing her to marry him. Malloron ends the previous book as a reluctant ally of emperor Dracoco and off in search of his own Omega following Dracco’s critic guidance that omegas already exist within his own holdings.
We also briefly meet Amara as she assisted Caitlyn during Malloron’s abduction. However with so much in common with Caitlyn I found that this felt like the same character only recast in a different scenario. (Both omega spy’s, starting with same world paradigm dictating so much of their decisions. All things omega good, omega mothers speak only truth, all thing alpha evil and suspect. Hide omega existence at all costs.)
Perhaps it was the whiplash going from Malloron’s being the villain to the hero or how much time had had to be spent explaining the casting /magic use system, the result was I failed to get as invested into this couple the way I had the first. The third book in the series Reign to Rule salvaged the three book arch for me.

What is up with this series 3rd books?
I thought i was in emotional cluched with Drocco and Cailyn, but this couple?
I think i went through every emotion that Amara felt throughout this book, plummeted to the rock bottom from it all, cried the tears of despair and (thank GOD!)tears of joy.
Although i knew it will end with happily ever after, that did not change the facts that there might still be some twists that could potentially end up sad.
I promised myself that i wont read the next and last couple. Each couple gets heavier and heavier by the 2nd and 3rd book and its hard. Emotionally. And I dont think I can survive it.
The miscommunication is heavy. And by heavy I mean “breaking your heart and feeling physical pain” heavy. I could see people not enjoying it, especially if you are not really into the story and the couple.
Lot of ground work was laid in the previous books, so I was not surprised how meddlesome the Mothers were. Im just happy they weren’t as prevelent as with the last couple.
There were so many things that Malloron and Amara needed to address and work through. I understand they apparently did it over the years, but i missed out on that. I would have liked for them to address their issues and show how they work through it.
Lots of thoughts about them both and if Im starting to look critically at the book it self I know that there are things that could be better, but I still loved the work. I still could not pick it up after a certain sceen, because I needed a breather, because the emotions were so overwhelming that I couldn’t take it. I still cried by the end feeling like I myself am in that room looking at that one person you love the most and seeing them completely broken.
So yeah. 5 ⭐️ and I dont regret it.
P.S. 100 buks says Im reading the next couples books 😁

I will admit that I was both excited and yet dreading to read this book. Zoey Ellis set such a high standard with the previous books in this series that I truly wondered if the standard could be maintained. Boy was it achieved, if I could give a higher rating than 5 stars, I wouldn’t hesitate. I enjoyed every last word of Reign To Rule. It was like the most delicious chocolate – dark and oh so sinfully satisfying. I LOVED IT!!
This book picks up where the previous book ended and Amara is held captive by Brecc. Malloron feels betrayed and vows to take revenge on everyone, including Amara. Within the first couple of pages, I found myself almost in tears – it is just that heartbreakingly good and well written. The author kept me on an emotional rollercoaster throughout the book as I went from sad, to angry, to angry and sad, frustrated, worried and in the end, finally, happy and satisfied.
As this is the final book to Malloron and Amara’s story, everything is revealed and I finally got answers to all the questions I had leading up to this book - what exactly the tenebris is, why are the children in the red dungeon, what happens to Emric and Banon, etc etc. I simply can’t fault the conclusion to Malloron and Amara, as all bases were covered and then some…
As with the previous books in this series, this book is written in a dual pov. It is a dark, steamy Omegaverse with a hint of BDSM and emotional with a hea. It is important to note that if you should not be read this book without reading at least Myth Of Omega Books 4 & 5. My advice would be to read it only after reading all 5 previous books in the series, as you will understand and enjoy it so much more.
I received an arc of this book and this is my honest review

💓 Malloron and Amara's story
NO SPOILERS - Trust me - you will want to unravel this one on your own
I was on edge awaiting this story. After we closed on the last book I was in fear of how and even if Amara and Malloron would be able to repair their bond. Amara's rejection of him only reinforced his weariness and mistrust in others as well as left him with a one-sided bond that could lead to his quick and painful death. Let us not forget he also has to face the betrayal by his brother.
My heart broke for Amara as this story progressed. Yes, she is a bit "focused" at times and fails to see the truth, but her innocence also holds a sense of hope that is desperately needed. She just wants a true mating bond but Malloron still sees her refusal to bond with him as the ultimate proof that she will betray him and so he keeps his distance. A choice that may cost him Amara
Watching Malloron battle with his feelings for Amara and his perverted sense of duty to the crown and family name was at times very emotional.
I have truly developed a soft spot for him. He has such potential if he can just remove the bricks that encase his heart and give credence to his feelings
Reign to Rule brings all the elements we love about this couple together in one emotionally charged and action-packed finale
And wait for it - yes readers there are some shocking revelations that you will never see coming!
The copy I read was comp.
I am excited to begin the journey with our next couple in this series
Malloron and Amara story is covered in books 4-6 - You do not need to read the first three but trust me you will want to.
This is one series that should be on the shelf of any true Omegaverse fan

Oh. Was I reading something? I must have fallen asleep.
This book was painfully boring. I will tell you the only reason that I read this was so I wouldn't miss any important information leading up to the Shaya and Kardos's story arc.
The plot for this book was bland and predictable. Amara and Malloron were definitely meant for each other because I've never seen two characters as bipolar as these two. One second they hate each other and are trying to resist the attraction they have and the next they want to make things work between them. Usually at opposite times. Which made this all the more frustrating.
And the ending mystery with the sleeping children and how they are connected to Malloron and his magic? That was laughably expected and anticlimactic. All this time I was expecting something so much worse. And discovering that it wasn't even something that bad had me pulling my hair in frustration as to why he couldn't just tell Amara this earlier. It would have saved them both a lot of heart ache and trouble.
By the end of this book I was just extremely bored and uninterested in these characters. They were very unimpressionable and bland. And I know Zoey Ellis can do better.
So 2 stars for having potential but overall being a huge disappointment.

Wow! What a great ending to Malloron and Amara’s story!
Reign to Rule is the sixth book in the ‘Myth of Omega’ series as well as the third book that centers on King Malloron and Amara. Just so you are aware, the storyline does continue from book to book and to fully understand, you will need to read at least the fourth and fifth book in the series. If you have the opportunity, I always like to recommend starting a series from the beginning. Although, starting at book four is completely fine. The first three books tell Drocco and Cailyn’s story, and they do make a couple of small appearances, but it’s not confusing to those that haven’t read their story.
Reign to Rule begins right where we were left off in the previous book. Amara has been taken captive, and King Malloron is desperately trying to find her. He is still very possessive of her, but they both still seem to have trust issues. It’s not necessarily all trust issues, they also don’t seem to understand the customs of the other. This leads to lots of drama, angst, and also some blazing hot sex scenes! Phew! They were H.O.T!
Zoey Ellis has done a fabulous job, and the ending was so epic. All the puzzle pieces came together, and all my questions were answered.
A definite add to your TBR list!!

This book was OK. To be honest, this particular story (trilogy) just hasn't sat right with me. Malloron hasn't really fully redeemed himself. I get he has to make some tough decisions as King, but he still comes across as an ass, to me.
So, editing-wise, this book has seemed to have the most issues in this whole series, so far. There were quite a few typos that I came across, which was annoying. I am hoping that the next 3 books don't follow this downhill trend in that regard.
Story-wise, it just felt like there were some issues. I don't feel like there was enough growth on his side of things. He did improve a lot! But there was still a lot to be desired. Not to mention, they keep wanting Omegas, but don't seem to comprehend that it was this very behavior toward them that made them all hide from the world. Seriously, if you aren't going to do better than your predecessors, then you are just proving that the Omegas did the right thing. "Giving" an Omega to someone in negotiation, just perpetuates the human sex trafficking, here. I thought that the Alphas nowadays were so much better, but they aren't. The pleasure chambers prove that. At least she got him to shut them down. The king still doesn't seem to see the issue with having them.
I am going to read a few fluffier books as another palette cleanser before starting the last trilogy. These books are good, but they are a lot to take in.
I still would recommend these to others, though, for sure.

What he wants by MeemsAngel82
Oooh, someone's mad. This male has had it bad from the get go. His world hadn't had anything soft until her. And she might fight it, but she is ultimately his Omega. This is the third part of this couple's journey and we have some excellent writing and a story that doesn't dim it's energy one bit! The complex tale does have triggers so always be careful. I love how they have conflicts and unfortunately it's also about the other. This Omega thinks for herself and it is amazing that she keeps strong but also has her submissive side.
He feels like he was betrayed and she must make some choices.
He has had a lot to go though and so had she. I felt so bad that the two had to struggle in this already difficult world. I do appreciate that both are their own person and its such a different dynamic from our first couple. I kept hearing about Zoey years ago. This series seemed so interesting and I was so happy I joined in the excitement! This one is the third part of their book and is in no way less entertaining. This has been an emotional rollercoaster but in a good way because I know they'll eventually work everything out. The journey has been steamy and so rich with detail and I am so pleased I found her books! I hope for much more of this world to come!

“Reign to Rule” is the sixth book in the Myth of Omega serial and the final installment of Malloron and Amara’s story. As with its predecessors this is a well written erotic, Omegaverse romance set in the Western Lands. Angered by Amara’s betrayal, Malloron makes aggressive plans to retrieve her from his enemies with help from a new alliance. Reeling from the red dungeon disclosure, Amara does some deep soul searching regarding her true feelings for Malloron. Will they be able to work beyond their mistrust to create a lasting union that’s based on truth and not merely desire? Once again, the Omega Mothers have been busy plotting and scheming. This latest discovery questions the true purpose of Amara’s mission into Eiros Castle and we wonder just how much they’re willing to risk under the guise of protecting Omegas. All in all, I very much enjoyed the conclusion to this trilogy and can’t wait to discover what Zoey Ellis has in mind for us next. I received an Advance Reader Copy of this book from the author and am voluntarily leaving a review.
