Granted, things haven't been easy, but she refuses to bend to anyone's will but her own.Things take an unexpected turn when the city's Regent takes her under his wing. Lucian Stavros is unlike any human she's ever come across. Mira has never placed her trust in anyone before, but there's something about the Regent that draws her interest from the get-go. For a moment, she can almost believe that he truly wants to change her destiny and that of her own kind. The thought alone is mind-boggling, yet she can't help but to hold out a little hope for a better future.Though she risks a lot by placing her trust in his hands, Mira knows he's the only one who can change her situation outright. She understands that they're walking a very fine line. Should anyone catch wind of their machinations, death will coming knocking around the corner. Still, she's willing to do everything possible to change her fate. She has to. Remaining a captive of a human society is no longer an option. Somehow, some way, she will find her freedom, even if it means she'll need to put herself in harm's way in order to achieve it.K. A. Salidas has always written books that pull you in and never let go. This new series will not disappoint. An original and very unique storyline, we'll sucked into the heart of a volatile society in a post-apocalyptic world where vampires exist and humans rule with an iron thumb. A world where being at the top of the food chain means everything.K. A. has crafted a quite vivid world, and you can picture everything as it takes place. From the coliseum where Mira fights to the Regent's quarters. I found the main character's quips and interactions with those around her quite amusing. There's enough action and humor mixed throughout the book that it'll definitely capture your attention and keep it till the very end. I'm looking forward to more of this intriguing series.Please Note: I received a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
