Paedyn and Kai battle with duty and desire in this highly anticipated second installment in the sizzling and epic romantic fantasy trilogy that’s packed with spicy tension and edge-of-your-seat betrayal.
The kingdom of Ilya is in turmoil…
After surviving the Purging Trials, Ordinary-born Paedyn Gray has killed the King and kickstarted a Resistance throughout the land. Now she’s running from the one person she had wanted to run to.
Kai Azer is now Ilya’s Enforcer, loyal to his brother Kitt, the new King. He has vowed to find Paedyn and bring her to justice.
Across the deadly Scorches, and deep into the hostile city of Dor, Kai pursues the one person he wishes he didn’t have to. But in a city without Elites, the balance between the hunter and hunted shifts—and the battle between duty and desire is deadly.

This story was both annoying and pointless.
Adena and Mac were the best 2 characters in the previous books. The novella was by far the best of the 3 and that's because we didn't have to read about Kai and Payden.
The sewer scene was gross 🤢
Ummm, how long is the chain they are tethered to? They are getting on and off of horses, running from bad guys, and she is shooting bad guys with a bow and arrow while practically having to drag an injured Kai.
Kai and Payden made me think of middle school drama. "I love him, I hate him, I love him...." Over and over and over.
Aside from the bad plot or really lack of plot, the writing was bad. I'd say about 90% of all sentences were the same in structure. They are all the same complex sentence with a comma in the middle. It was distracting. It's actually kind of impressive she wrote an entire book with one sentence type. If you don't believe me, open the book to literally any page and read 1-2 paragraphs. Once I noticed that I was done.
I finished the book because I was told the ending would shock me. It didn't. I predicted the ending when I read the 1st Kitt chapter.
This story could have been better if it was 150 pages, Kitts character was developed into a real villain, and Mak made at least one appearance. Also, the resistance was a huge plot point in Powerless. In Reckless the resistance was non-existent. They simply said the plan didn't work so we quit.
I currently have no plans on reading fearless but I'd bet it ends with kitt being "taken care of" making Kai king and Payden queen. Happily ever after. Siman and Shuster should know better than to back this.
I liked the first book so much more.
I felt this one was soooo repetitive and predictable
This book was way too long for it’s content
It wasn’t that bad but it should have been shorter and more clear
