I was given this ARC in return for an honest review, and was sorry to never have read the first two books! Of course I have a habit of reading out of order. Yeiya as adopted from Terra Earth as a young child and raised in the senator's house as a Bronlian, but when others commented on how different she was they didn't last too long once her father heard of it. She grew up, made friends, and went off to school returning when she was of age for the test of what her career she would be a part of, but she held a secret, She had a voice that could sing birds out of the trees and everyone adored her. Her two friends wondered if they'd meet their forever mate at a reception being held and all Yeiya wanted was a safe mate that loved her and not one of those horrible warriors. But fate had other plans for her..

General Faren knew he was to become a warrior like his father, and he and his twin trained daily to be the best, but once Diego killed his brother during fight, all he felt was incomplete. Now as the most feared warrior, all he wanted was to be complete again. He knew he was called a monster and even encouraged it by killing all his rivals as he slowly let them die. Then the most beautiful woman fell into his arms. ( )
