The Seven Seals series continues in this action-packed story with a nice romance and an extremely likable main couple who are more than capable of beating the bad guy.  Between the continuing battle to stop all the seals from being opened to stop Armageddon to a fight in a small country amongst those fighting for freedom, the Scion warriors are back in action.Chago has tried to keep himself separate from the world when not being called on by Divinity to fight.  Being on his ranch brings him the peace he needs after the death of his mate many years past.  When given the opportunity to retire after this one last job, he takes it even though it means he'll come into contact with the creature that killed his love as well as finding a new woman who needs his protection.  After not being able to protect his last love he'll do whatever it takes this time around to keep his new love safe.Irena is a formidable opponent.  Raised in a war zone she's not afraid to fight which makes her the perfect match to Chago.  Their verbal sparring was both playful and sexy and I liked that she didn't let him walk all over her.  She showed some backbone and was no weeping heroine.  Though she doesn't believe all that Chago tells her about herself and her role in Armageddon at first, it's not long before her life is put in jeopardy and she realizes the sacrifice Chago is willing to make for her.The final battle to save Irena and keep the Seal from being opened happened rather quickly and was a bit of a let down as the villain of this particular fight wasn't very impressive.  Archon isn't near as vile as some of this story's secondary characters and his final moments are a further disappointment as things are left hanging.  Another part of the story that didn't work for me entirely was the secondary storyline involving a civil war.  It felt out of place and took time away from the main storyline.The main couple were wonderful together and indulged in some very steamy sexual interludes along with some sexually tension-filled banter.  They were a couple worth rooting for.  It was nice seeing those sexy Scion brothers back together again.  We get a brief glimpse of the couple from the previous book to see their HEA continuing which made for an even more satisfying conclusion to this story.  With more Seals left to discover I look forward to revisiting this world again soon.
