Siren and soulmate to the King of Night, Callypso Lillis survived the clutches of Karnon, the mad king, and his twisted prison. But the nightmare isn’t over. Callie wears the physical reminders of her time as a captive, and mounting evidence suggests the Thief of Souls is still out there.
When a fae celebration thrusts Callie and her mate, Desmond Flynn, into the Kingdom of Flora, they take their investigation with them. But under the bright lights and striking blooms of the realm, they find there are more immediate issues to deal with. No place is more uniquely savage than the great fae halls, and no amount of bargains can save Callie from royal intrigues.
Fairies play dangerous games. Some want love, some want vengeance, some want flesh, and some want things too unspeakable to utter. One thing is for sure: no one is who they appear to be. Not even Des, who only grows more enigmatic with every passing secret.
But the Kingdom of Flora has its own secrets, from bleeding trees to branded slaves and missing guards. Something is stirring in the land of all that grows, and if Callie isn’t careful, it will claim everything and everyone she loves—and her along with it.
I think I have a book hangover. This book was amazing. Laura Thalassa is a master story teller. I was on the edge of my seat the entire time. I could barely put this book down. It was over much too quickly, and left me desperately wanting more. I am so glad the last book comes out this winter. I cannot wait to read it. I NEED to know what happens next!
I thoroughly enjoyed the character development in this second book in the Bargainer series.
Desmond, the Bargainer, King of the Night Court, and Lord of Chaos, is an even more complex character than the first book hinted at. I loved diving into his past and learning about his family.
Callie continues to astound me with her strength of character and sheer force of will. No matter what happens she refuses to be a victim. She continues to get stronger and train to better face her enemies. Would that we all had such strength.
Temper is my favorite character. I love the dynamic between Temper and Callie. Their friendship reminds me of myself and my best friend. There were some great moments where we learned about Temper’s powers that were just vaguely illuded to in the first book. I hope she gets her own happily ever after eventually.
If you have read the first book in the Bargainer series, you HAVE to pick this book up. You won’t want to put it down.
