Publisher Description
Circe Quinn, the office manager of a moving company, goes to sleep at home and wakes up in a corral filled with women wearing sacrificial virgin attire—and she’s one of them.
She figures this is not good and soon finds she’s not having a wild dream; she’s living a frightening nightmare. She’s been transported to a barren land populated by a primitive people, where she’s installed very unwillingly on her white throne of horns as their queen.
Dax Lahn is the king of Suh Tunak, the Horde of the nation of Korwahk. With one look at Circe, he knows she will be his bride and together they will start the Golden Dynasty of legend.
Circe and Lahn are separated by language, culture, and the small fact she’s from a parallel universe and has no idea how she got there. Or, more importantly, how to get home.
Facing challenge after challenge, Circe finds her footing as Queen of the brutal Korwahk Horde and wife to its King.
Then she finds herself falling in love with this primitive land, its people and especially their savage leader.

10 stars
You must be prepared when starting this book, the Korwahk nation steals their woman and has a “bride hunt.” When that bride is captured, she is raped. Thankfully Kristen Ashley does not show this. Any rape scenes are faded out, but you do know that they happen. There is also abuse of women and other scenes that some may find extremely offensive. If you are one of those, don’t read/listen to this book. For me personally, I thought KA told the story very realistically of a primitive patriarchal monarchy society. Women were treated as possessions, cherished by some, mistreated by others.
When Circe finds herself thrust into this world from our modern one, she is in shock and barely finding her way. But with her courage, beautiful soul, and wonderful spirit, she finds a way to thrive and make the world her own. She conquers the Horde King.
So far out of this series, this has been my favorite, but it is only book 2. LOL. I LOVED this story. I wanted to drown myself in the pages and never come up for air. I am giving it 5 Huge Boundless Stars!
Must read....or listen
This book I have listened to twice! It’s fantastic! Narrator has got to be one of my favorites! The s book will not disappoint!
Love this book
Since it's my second favorite KA, I give it a total thumbs up. Picture Dax Lahn as Jason Momoa/Khal Drogo from GoT. The narration is excellent, which in audiobooks is foremost in my rating.
