Cale Terriot wants something more from his life but he is caught up in the power struggles, machinations and violence of his father's making. He dreams of his childhood friend Kendra but to have her as his mate he must fight off his unmated siblings.Kendra's family has been destroyed by Bram, leaving her in the hands of the Terriots. She loved Cale as a child but now she sees a ruthless wolf, just like his father.Cale must convince Kendra of his true intentions while keeping a strong appearance so that he isn't destroyed or killed by his own family. Weakness means death. Can he prove his love or will he make the ultimate sacrifice.Prince of Shadows is not your happy shifter love story. It is a dark tale of abuse, rape, murder, and violence all governed by a sick and twisted alpha and father to the Terriot heirs, Bram. The plot is cut throat and raw with disturbing infighting and agonizing decisions. A vivid tale of a young shifter fighting for a new life out of the darkness he was born heir. Cale was arrogant, somewhat mean hearted and extremely conflicted. Kendra is ignorant but brave. I found a few of the plots directions open ended with no obvious answers for closure. I did enjoyed this story and in the end it proves that true love can be the catalyst to change.This ARC copy of Prince of Shadows was given to me by Pocket Star in exchange for a honest review. This book is set for publication on May 27, 2013.
