Varrick is leader of the Shadow Assassins, and like the leaders before him, he believes that women serve only one purpose in the life of an Assassin. To breed. It’s his time to produce an heir and so he leaves the Shadow Maze to acquire the most powerful mate he can find. The twin daughters of the High Queen and the Head Master. When Echo dar Aune is kidnapped, she has more anger than fear when told that her virginity is to be taken until she discovers that she's being held captive in the Shadow Maze. No one has ever escaped the underground maze with their memories intact. Shadow Assassin is a hot, hot read! In fact, it's so hot that I'd recommend reading it just for the love scenes but I don't have to do that because in addition to the hot, hot scenes, the storyline is fantastic and wonderfully written. With intense characters and deeply emotional connections, Cyndi Friberg has penned a book that will draw you into an amazing new world and captivate your senses.
