About this ebook

From New York Times bestselling author Jacquelyn Frank comes the scorching hot first book in a thrilling new series featuring four warrior brothers who have the power—and the curse—of immortality.
 
For centuries, Dethan has been trapped in a fiery inferno for defying the gods and snatching the power of immortality. Condemned to have his battle-hardened body licked by flames only to regenerate and be consumed all over again, Dethan has lost all hope—until the Goddess of Conflict appears. She will release him from torment—if he’ll use his power and strength as a warrior to raise an army and defeat a fierce enemy faction of gods.
 
Free to live as a man once again, Dethan meets Selinda—heir to the throne of Hexis—and his thoughts quickly turn from the conquest of cities to the conquest of this headstrong beauty. Betrothed to a cruel, calculating powermonger, Selinda needs a champion, and so Dethan enters into another bargain: If she will share her bed—and her body—with him, Dethan will save her city from destructive forces within and without. As the lovers ignite a searing passion, Dethan will risk all—even the wrath of the Goddess of Conflict—for a chance to make Selinda his forever.

I wasn't a fan. I enjoyed the character's stories but felt it was poorly written. It almost felt as though it was slapped together last minute with no real process. Also had a lot of inner dialogue. a character would make a statement, then the other character would think on it for 5 pages then respond. To the point that when there was a response I found myself going back to figure out what the response was to! It was also "shallow" with no real depth. To me, a good book will have me emotionally vested. I felt nothing with this book because it felt ao rushed, there was no real time to empathize or relate to the main characters. Ill probably read the other books because I do enjoy the character's stories but I would not recommend them to anyone.

Selinda, the heir to throne of Hexis had been betrothed to an evil manipulative man who wants the throne for himself so what she needs is a champion and Dethan quickly decides conquering Selinda may be just what he needs in order to serve his Goddess. The reader can’t help but get caught up in the intriguing and complex world as the compelling characters grab reader’s attention and don’t let go and the steady to fast paced plot keeps readers hovering in expectation. The romance between Selinda and Dethan progresses at a steady rate throughout the story as Dethan wins her trust and promises her a future free of the evil tyrant but in order to do that Dethan must first free the kingdom of the enemy at the gates and win over the King’s trust. Spine tingling excitement builds as the danger to Selinda and her family escalates and time begins to run out for Dethan to keep his promise. I have to say the author created a very complex world with some unique and interesting elements but it seemed that some of the world building overshadowed the story a bit to begin with, but once it even out a bit, I quickly became more enamored of the characters.
