3.5 stars. Not really what I was expecting. I think I would have preferred Eric as himself and not so enhanced. Along with his body, his entire demeanor changed. Eric, the Eric, was lost. Perhaps if it was a gradual change and not instantaneous, I would feel better about it. Zad I liked. Very, very insecure, but understandable. Her mom was a complete b*tch! I did not like that Zad did not go and address her brothers. I felt her life story was rushed and incomplete. Her brothers just learned she was alive, then lost her to Eric. Just felt incomplete. Perhaps there will be more when they locate her halo. Looking forward to the next Warborne.

Great book from Lathar Mercenaries Warborne series. This is the story of Zad and Eric with the Warborne rescuing Zad from the Tarviisan fight pits . Upon the rescue of Zad it revealed Eric as her consort . It explains why Zad was in the pits put there by her mother . So much happens with the Warborne coming to the rescue that they each are made to come away as heroes . I love this series and can’t wait for the next book.
