- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I enjoy this series of books so much. It just make you wonder when the next book is coming out. Book is fast moving which I enjoyed. Loved that it was an added bonus to Grim and Lisa's storyline. I so enjoy the girls and their meeting the Prince who by the way is the great Raptors son.

Chapter One
Lisa just smiled as Grim, for the third time, checked to make sure her cape was securely closed against the slight chill in the air before doing the same to the girls’. The capes weren’t the same gray ones they had worn at the Joining Ceremony. Grim had those destroyed, never wanting to be reminded of how he nearly lost his family. Now they wore capes in the deep, purple color of his house, House Luanda.
We are fine, Grim,
Lisa told him as he went to adjust her hood again. It's not that cold out.
I should have considered that the sun would not have yet warmed this area when I chose it,
he grumbled.
But it will soon,
she said, putting a reassuring hand over his. I can't believe you and your Warriors were able to get all this done in such a short time.
She let her gaze travel over the newly-constructed, circular arena that now sat on the grounds in front of House Luanda. There was a raised seating area that curved around half of it, and then a gathering area for Warriors at the far end. Today was the Festival of the Goddess, but it wasn't like any festival Lisa had ever experienced back on Earth.
For Tornians, the Festival was a competition. A way for them to impress the Goddess with their strength and skill, in the hopes she would find them fit and worthy enough to bless them with a female. It was armed combat, and it wasn't uncommon for Warriors to be injured, sometimes severely.
Lisa had been horrified when Grim informed her of this and told him that there was no way she could allow the girls to witness such a thing. It would terrify them to watch Warriors, that they had come to know and love, attacking and injuring one another.
They had finally reached a compromise, and in a short time, they would discover if Grim's Warriors would accept it.
They knew it was their Queen's wish, so it was done,
Grim told her, referring to the arena as if it shouldn't surprise her.
They are all fit and worthy males,
Lisa said, smiling up at him, but I got the best of them.
I should never have let you out of our chambers this morning,
Grim growled as he leaned down, capturing her lips in a long, deep kiss, his hands slipping under the cape he'd just taken so much time to make sure was closed. He was about to lift her up into his arms and carry her away, when he heard Alger clearing his throat, and the girls starting to giggle.
Pulling his mouth from his Lisa's, he almost ignored them all when the look in her eyes told him she wanted that too. Instead, he took a deep breath and forced himself to release her, only standing after he made sure her cape was secure again.
Go,
she encouraged softly. We’ll finish this tonight.
Giving her a stiff nod, he turned and stepped to the front of the podium to address the large crowd that had gathered. Traditionally, the Warriors that wished to compete would gather at the training fields, but Lisa had expanded the Festival into a daylong event. She had invited vendors from every corner of Luda to set up within the walls of the House and offer their food, wares, and skills for credits. When they quieted, Grim spoke.
Warriors, today is the Festival of the Goddess.
A roar of excitement went through the crowd, and Grim raised his hands to quiet them. And we must give thanks for the many blessings she has bestowed on us.
He turned and looked to Lisa, Carly, and Miki as a roar of agreement spread through the crowd.
These blessings have changed our lives for the better,
Grim continued once they quieted again. Now, we must show the Goddess that we appreciate them.
A confused silence met this statement. "As Warriors, we are used to the blood and gore that comes with battle. We must accept it. But Queen Lisa, Princesses Carly and Miki, and every other female here today do not. And I, for one, never want
