Tariel's journey continues in book two of this sexy reverse harem filled with magic, adventure, intrigue, and toe-curling action! When Tariel and her band of strong, sexy heroes finally cross the border into Carliss, they think most of their troubles are behind them. The witch hunter is defeated, her harem is stronger than ever, and they are so close to the Empire they can almost taste their freedom. But when Riann is kidnapped by a group of bandits bent on revenge, Tariel's plans come to a screeching halt. Against all reason, Tariel and her remaining men venture deep into bandit territory to rescue their wayward knight. There, they quickly become embroiled in a poisonous conspiracy that goes all the way up into the highest reaches of the Carlissian government. Unfortunately, even Tariel's magic may not be enough to win the day, especially when she finds herself up against a criminal overlord and a vengeful witch. But even the darkest places harbor unexpected shards of light... and within this den of thieves, Tariel might just find a way to take the bandits out once and for all. Contains mature themes.
