New York Times bestselling author Gena Showalter begins a dark, sexy new series - Rise of the Warlords - with a fan-favourite character from her beloved Lords of the Underworld series, Taliyah Skyhawk. The ice maiden faces off with her greatest enemy, a villain brutal beyond imagining.
For centuries, Taliyah Skyhawk has prepared to become Harpy General, leader of the deadliest female army in existence. One of the requirements? Remain a virgin. But, for a chance to save her people, she must wed the fearless leader of the Astra Planeta, Alaroc Phaethon.
The time has come for Roc to sacrifice another virgin bride to his god. There has never been a woman alluring enough to tempt him from his path. No warrioress powerful enough to overcome his incredible strength. No enchantress desirable enough to make him burn beyond reason. Until now.
With the clock ticking, war between husband and wife ignites. Except Taliyah never expected the merciless king to challenge the future she once envisioned. She certainly never anticipated the thrill of their battles turning into games... The problem is, only one spouse can survive.
My Review:
I loved reading this book! We've seen most of the Skyhawks fall in love, mostly with Lords, but there have been some who haven't. So I really enjoyed this start of the spin off series with a family that we've spent a lot of time with before!
It is a little hard to wrap my mind around how all these worlds are connected. It just seems so big, you know? And so many layers! We did learn about the Astra Planeta, and their processes, and how they're close to leveling up to the next power, but yeah, still a touch confusing!
I loved how these two were in a battle of wills. They both were thinking that the other would cave, and playing a high game stakes of chicken, basically, and it was pretty hilarious! I loved their interactions, because the chemistry between them is pretty intense!

They both have their own plans for what they want to happen. And in the end, when all the secrets are out, and he knows her parentage, and her choices have some interesting results, and yeah, just really enjoyed that ending! Can't wait to see where book 2 goes!
Loved reading this book, and I can't wait to continue the series!
