Book #2 in The Valespian Pact SeriesI received a copy as part of the Goodreads M/M Romance Group's DBML program in exchange for an honest review.This story picks up right where [book:Alpha Trine|16153073] ends.  I would not recommend reading this without reading Alpha Trine first to get the backstory.Zeus, Dargon, & Alpha have established their bond.  Alpha is carrying their kit & they're in the process of escorting the Fal'Amoric back to Valespia when Zeus is transported back to the waters of Poseidon & warned of a trap by his brother Canry.  This puts them in a precarious situation due to the timing of the impending birth.  Once the kit is delivered, Dargon must stay immobile until the kit finds it's way to Dargon's pouch.Canry advises Zeus to travel to speak with the crystalline species of Qrxzl about getting the aid of the Feteine, a robotic species who are only available by using the Qrxzl as a go-between.  When the Qrxzl attack Zeus, mistakenly believing him to be a hostile human, Alpha is reunited with his oldest son Star Eater.  Star Eater helps to heal Zeus & Dargon after the attack & acts as part of a tribunal judge for trying the party guilty of setting up the ambush, but then we don't see much more of him.  Perhaps he'll be seen more in a future storyline?There's a good bit more fighting action as the team travels to Valespia to deliver their important cargo.  Canry gets to come out to play & Zeus unleashes Striker.  Unfortunately for Dargon, he has to curb his warrior as the kits (yes, twins!) have decided it's time to be born at the most inconvenient time as possible.In the midst of all the war, Zeus finds himself.  He finds love.  Love within his Trine.  Love within his family unit. (That's been there all along, he just didn't always see it.)  Love from the warriors who guard him.  (Also been there all along, he didn't see it either.)I really enjoy the world building in this series.  I enjoy the character building.  The message of acceptance.Editing and continuity errors were present & did take away some of my enjoyment, but was overall a happy read.
