"Readers of Jacqueline Carey's KUSHIEL novels will feel right at home. Hawke creates a fresh, vibrant fantasy universe where story and sex seamlessly intertwine. This is more than just erotica; it's erotic fantasy at its best."
"One part KUSHIEL'S LEGACY, one part GAME OF THRONES, Hawke takes the protagonist of the first and nestles it squarely into the political intrigue of the second. With promises of many future installments, I can't wait to see where this series heads next."
A decadent empire on the brink of collapse. An ambitious emperor yearning for conquest. An elf slave with the power to liberate her people.
Prized for their delicate beauty and ageless grace, the Faeyn elves have long been coveted as pleasure slaves by the ruling noble families of the vast human empire. But Elara is no normal servant.
