Summary

New York Times bestselling author Gena Showalter begins a dark, sexy new series—Rise of the Warlords—with a fan favorite character from her beloved Lords of the Underworld series, Taliyah Skyhawk. The ice maiden faces off with her greatest enemy, a villain brutal beyond imagining.

For centuries, Taliyah Skyhawk has prepared to become Harpy General, leader of the deadliest female army in existence. One of the requirements? Remain a virgin. But, for a chance to save her people, she must wed the fearless leader of the Astra Planeta, Alaroc Phaethon.

The time has come for Roc to sacrifice another virgin bride to his god. There has never been a woman alluring enough to tempt him from his path. No warrioress powerful enough to overcome his incredible strength. No enchantress desirable enough to make him burn beyond reason. Until now.

With the clock ticking, war between husband and wife ignites. Except Taliyah never expected the merciless king to challenge the future she once envisioned. She certainly never anticipated the thrill of their battles turning into games… The problem is, only one spouse can survive.

Love is a battlefield in Showalter's The Warlord.

A brilliant start to a new series

I love the worlds/realms Gena Showalter creates, and as a spin-off on the Lords of the Underworld series, I get a new story in one of my favourite worlds. It helps if you have read the Lords of the Underworld series, but it is not necessary as the book stands on its own.

The wordplay between the main characters is hilarious and had me laughing, and the romance scenes are scorching.

I can't wait for the next book.

Amazing story and really well told.

This is one of those stories that you just couldn't stop listening to. the story has adventure romance twists and Turns and the voice actor is really clear ear and sounds sexy which fits the part of Roc really well. Another amazing story by Gena showalter and I can't wait for the next.
