What an incredible look back into the captivating origin of the Kythan guardians!  I absolutely loved Destiny's Fire when it came out last year, and discovering the history of the Kythan through the eyes of the mesmerizing Astarte was the perfect link between hers and Dez's stories.  In a magical world of unrest and slavery, Astarte faced betrayal, doubt, and temptation at the hands of an enemy she never could have imagined; but her forbidden love for the devoted (and completely swoon-worthy!) pharaoh Xarion gave her the strength and will-power to stand and fight.With such descriptive details weaving Astarte's life in ancient Egypt, I was lost in the torment and confusion she had to endure.  I loved her as a heroine, both for her bravery and devotion to her land and the man she loves, as well as for the determination she showed when everything was crashing down around her.  Hers is a sad tale when all is said and done, and it brought tears to my eyes on more than one occasion, but it was also a story of the destiny that laid before her people.  She and Xarion shared a beautiful romance that was much more far-reaching than they realized.  She was brave enough to be the one to carry the torch that would ignite the flame so far in the future, and I just loved seeing this side of the tale!!Astarte's Wrath is a bewitching, thrilling, sexy addition to the Kythan Guardians series!
