The story rattles along at a fair pace, twisting and turning and knocking you sideways at the most unexpected of times. Old friends become enemies, new alliances are formed and help comes from the most surprising of places. It didn’t quite slay me in the same way that the Silk & Steel series did, but this author continually sets the bar so very high that this is still an amazing read. A brush of the lips, but if it were the last thing Vasili felt, he’d gladly take its touch with him to meet the gods. Nikolas kissed him then – so softly, so simply. It puts you through the emotional wringer, stands you up, dusts you down and then shoves you back through it again. Niko and Vasili’s story has reached it’s epic conclusion and boy do you need to gird your loins to read this one.

He was heat and fire, rock and iron, and after everything they’d survived, after every hurt and obstacle, impossibly, Nikolas Yazdan was Vasili’s.
