Publisher Description
Internationally acclaimed, New York Times and USA TODAY Bestselling author of Science Fiction, Urban Fantasy, and Paranormal Romance brings another action, adventure, and suspense-filled story to transport readers out of this world.
River Knight was looking forward to a peaceful vacation in the mountains with her two best friends, Jo and Star, sisters of the heart. When she travels up into the mountains of North Carolina to the cabin Star has rented for them she is shocked when she finds the two sisters being abducted. Following them, she discovers their abductors are anything but human.
Sneaking aboard the shuttle in an attempt to rescue them she finds herself on an unplanned vacation to the stars. In desperation, River makes a deal with the leader of another alien race who had also been captured – she’ll release them if they promise to return the three girls to their home.
Torak Ja Kel Coradon, Leader of the House of Kassis and next ruler of the Kassis Galaxy, has other plans when he sees the blue-eyed warrior woman. He plans on claiming her for himself and the only home he has plans on her returning too is his.
The three women are believed to be the Prophesized warriors sent to join forces to bring peace to the House of Kassis. Worlds collide when the male dominated world meets three circus performers who use their talents to fight for those they love.
When an assassin threatens Torak’s life, River has to show him even a circus performer can be a warrior when challenged. The biggest challenge is to Torak’s mind as he discovers women from other galaxies are more than they seem.
Can their love overcome the chasm of a few million light years or will an assassin end it all?

Once again Smith has created women of strength and character. I am a bit concerned that you built a world around female control and exploitation. There is no explanation for the reason behind having many women (concubines), just ick. It seems selfish and unless there are forty times more women to men it leaves many males with no females. Just something I found extremely disappointing.
Great until....
This was a really interesting book, lots of twists and turns and smart interesting h/H’s, then it took a turn to deviant sexual preferences, that was just a huge Not Needed and over the top addition that pulled me out of the story. A total bummer as I won’t be reading the rest of the series, any interest built died a quick death. But if you can get around the ‘sex stuff’ —blech—the story itself is very good.
