Rating: 5 out of 5

It is no lie that I am in love with this new author, Kris Radcliffe. Her work leaves you constantly on the edge of your seat while you whip through the pages in a race to the end. This short story is no different and for that reason I have rated it as a FIVE STAR read.This novel is just a short story and it goes back to before 'Games of Fate' and introduces a character that will be seen in book two 'Flux of Skin'. One of our loved characters from 'Games of Fate' is in this story as well, Ladon and Dragon. It tells a story of a race against time as Vesuvius is close to erupting and encasing them all in a sea of ash. The Jani Prime obey their fathers wishes while unknowingly an act so encompassing will take them on a path towards revenge.I found it extremely interesting seeing Ladon and Mira interact in this story, before Rysa (Mira's future daughter) takes a place in Ladon's heart. It seemed as though almost instantly they have an understanding about one another. The 'new' character that will be in book two is Andreas, a man with a powerful gift that is more like a curse. I am extremely interested in this new character and am looking forward to reading more about him in the next book.I really found nothing wrong with this short book, except for the fact that it was too short. I was sucked right into the story and would have loved to continue to read more. Maybe someday when the series is done Radcliffe will go back and tell more of their stories. All of the characters are fully developed with interesting behaviours and attitudes that guide their actions. All in all it was an amazing read and it will be highly recommended to any supernatural/paranormal readers out there.
