I really enjoyed this book. It was so well written, absorbing and engaging. I genuinely felt as if I was in the story and part of it. The story starts with an introduction to Sho. A slip of a girl in appearance she is actually a formidable warrior and belongs to the pack who protect the King. The pack are linked to the King and to each other telepathically are are able to feel each others emotions.The Sturgar are the King's enemies and he seeks to protect the Shoken races by uniting them against the Sturgar.  An uneasy task due to the duplicity of some of the clans and the power of the Sturgar leader, a vicious individual who thinks nothing of killing those who stand in his way.The characters in this story are so well imagined and portrayed. By the middle of the book I felt I really knew these characters and wanted the best outcome for them in their personal endeavours.The book does leave a few questions at the end ready for the sequel. I didn't want the book to end where it did and I shall be buying the next one when it is released. One of the most powerful and emotively provoking fantasy books I have read.
