Centuries ago the Daughters of Isis and the Sons of Anubis worked together to prevent the dead from returning to the land of the living. But a horrific rift leaving two of their number dead. The daughter believe they were betrayed by the Sons. The Sons believe they were he victims of treachery. Whatever the truth, now the two sects are mortal enemies.Markus is a Jackal shifter and son of Anubis who is determined to destroy the witches of Isis once and for all. They have set a terrible curse on members of his pact and he must have it lifted before it can infect them all. He and his pack seek to kidnap one to lure the rest.But the one they end up with, Tia, comes as a surprise to Markus. Not only is she not an evil witch, she is determined to help them lift their curse.This was a nicely, tightly written novella that feels like a full story. Tia and Markus tussle and argue over ancient history and whose clan was the most wronged. It is obvious they both have the story wrong as we find out later. But until then, they have to first get very hot for each other and resolve to fight for each other instead of against. The book ends on a nicely climactic fight/confrontation between the two warring factions and a centuries old truth is revealed.Even though the story isn't full length, the romance is convincing and I was pleased with it. I also enjoyed the Egyptian mythology. It is always nice to see some other types of mythologies explored that just Greco-Roman.The story is complete but the main villain is still at large so I suspect there might be sequels. I hope so. I liked my intro to this universe.

As usual, Seressia Glass has written a well written, and well researched story. She also writes great love scenes. So if you do not like them, do not buy any of her books. However, you are missing some good ideas!The worst thing I can say about this book, is it was too darn short! Markus and Tia are good protagonists. Both vulnerable and strong at the same time. Everything that happened to Tia was believable. However, I think she gave in a bit too quickly after being kidnapped. But this is fiction and Ms. Glass can do whatever she wants to with her characters!I enjoyed the Egyptian part of the book. I have a very basic knowledge of those gods and goddesses....and of course my cat reminds me daily that he was worshipped as a god there. LOLI never know how much to write and not give away the story line. What I will say is, READ THIS BOOK! Ms. Glass has done a wonderful job! I look forward to more books in this series!

A five star rating for a story that brings the majesty and intrigue of ancient Egypt intertwined with the Daughters of Isis and the Sons of Anubis. Follow the journey of Tia and her latent powers and Markus leader of the jackals as they find out their hearts and destiny which is hot, hot, hot! Don't be alone after reading this....have your man by your side!!!!

Wow, Seressia has really struck a chord with this story! I don't read nearly as much traditional romance as in days past, and I have a passing interest in Egyptian spirituality...but I couldn't put this down. It's a short novel (novella?), but I felt thoroughly invested in the characters and scenes. I can't wait to learn more about these characters.
