4.5-5 starsThis was a great book! I loved Sari, Calder and Taryen and was rooting for them from the start. This is the first book by the author that I've read and based on this I'll definitely be trying more of her work.Sari grew up as a commoner and has had a hard life that she's struggled to get through. She gets herself in trouble when trying to help a young homeless girl she meets and ends up getting beaten and almost raped. The Captain of the guard saves her and, recognizing that she's not a commoner, takes her inside the Sacred City where she can be helped. When she wakes to find she's been left with Calder and Taryen to be healed she's unsure what is going on and is understandably wary.Calder and Taryen are the consorts for the missing Queen. They were both born at the same exact time as the Queen and have been trained since birth to serve her. Unfortunately, the previous Queen and one of her consorts were killed and the Princess has been missing for years. No one knows what happened to her and Calder and Taryen have been enduring much at the hands of the "Sisters" (other women of high birth that wish to usurp the Queen's place) while waiting and hoping that the Queen is still alive and found.Calder and Taryen help Sari heal from her beating and start to get to know her. From the beginning, both the men are wary of her because she's another "Sister" and the they have always meant pain and degradation to them. As they get to know her though, they realize that she's much different from the others and they find themselves strongly attracted to her. This is dangerous for all of them because if the men have sex with anyone but the Queen there are heavy penalties for them and death for the woman. Regardless of this, The trio is strongly attracted to each other and has trouble denying it. Sari starts getting settled in to her new life but finds that many of the "Sisters" are greedy, horrible women who just want power and will do anything to get what they want.*** Spoiler after this point****Laysa is the head "Sister" and the wanna be usurper to the crown. Laysa ends up causing major troubles because she suspects that Sari is the missing Queen. She tried to kill Sari and the consorts figure things out just in time to save them. There's a small civil war as the usurpers try to take power and kill Sari and her consorts. Fortunately, the Queen's side wins and the usurpers are taken down. Once that is all taken care of, Sari, Calder and Taryen come out of it safe and happy. Since the Queen's emotions are tied to the weather, their planet finally sees sunshine for the first time in 20 years. They recover and start using their power to change the world for the good, using their past (sometimes bad) experiences help guide them in how they can best help their people. I was very happy with the ending and their HEA.This was a great story! I loved Sari, Calder and Taryen and really enjoyed their story. The story and all the characters were so engaging and interesting that I hated to see the book end. I really wish this was part of a series just so I could have the chance of reading more. I'd recommend this book. 2 thumbs up! :D
