Review: The Clan-lord's Bane

 

✩✩✩✩✩

 

Isla can’t let the past go. Her clan has won back their planet and settled old scores—but it isn’t enough. She hates those she blames for her husband’s death. She won’t rest until the enemy clan-lord is dead.

And so, she sets out to kill him.

Elijah leads a powerful galactic clan. Furious that he has lost the planet his father only recently won back for his people, he seeks to establish order in his territory and strengthen his clan’s defenses against their enemies.

However, he doesn’t realize his true nemesis lies closer to home.

His own brother is plotting to overthrow him. And an assassin has just boarded his battlecruiser—a vengeful woman intent on killing him.

But the gods have a twisted sense of humor. When disaster strikes, Elijah and Isla find themselves stranded on an inhospitable planet. Forced to work together, they must fight for survival, not with each other.

And when passion ignites, they discover that the boundary between love and hate is a fragile thing.

Review: The Clan-lord's Bane is book 3 in the Galactic Clan Wars series, and definitely my favorite so far, mostly because it has a lot more action than the previous books - starting right on page one and going almost non-stop until the end.

The story in The Clan-lord's Bane takes place some years later than books 1 (The Bodyguard's Ruin) and 2 (The Cyborg's Runaway), and the characters from the other books all show up in this one but, ultimately, it can be read as a stand alone.

I loved the romance between Isla and Elijah but, more than that, I loved how they interacted and worked together, even at the beginning when they were on opposite sides of the battlefield (or, in their particular case, trying literally to kill each other). 

 

I'm loving this series so far and I'm now moving on to book 4...

 

Happy readings,
