What a great new series, we have the opening chapter where Kahli's mother is being pursued by Trackers and manages to hide Kahli in a thicket and a vampire boy finds her but does not give away her location. Her mother is dragged off and not seen again so Kahli has to fend for herself in the wild against Trackers and wolves. The world as we know it has changed, humans have died out and vampires are following close behind. Camps have been set up to breed humans and the royal family have some in the palace to sustain them but the blood has been weakened over time. The world is covered in snow and ice and temperatures are freezing at best. Kahli while defending herself against a  pack of wolves is injured badly and captured by Will who is part human and part vampire (A Bane) who were bred to fix the vampire food source problem but it had backfired. Will gives her to Reggie who somehow ends up in the palace and Kahli becomes the Queens new plaything. Only the King likes her spunk, her beauty and is keen to taste her pure blood as she has not been touched by another. Having survived a survival test of the fittest, saved her friend and an enemy, Kahli is too outspoken to hide away and constantly keeps putting her foot in her mouth. Will can't help her now and the King wants her for himself and the consequences be damned. Will she make it out of the palace alive and what will happen to Will if she leaves. She is drawn to him yet does not trust his reasons for being around her. Lots of twists and turns, so many unanswered questions, where is Kahli's mother, what happened to her beloved that she was promised to as a child and why do the runes keep coming alive? Why did Will save her the first time yet give her away and then rescue her and how does he know her true name. Looking forward to those answers in Book No. 2, hope it comes soon.
