Shadow's Claim

(The Dacians, #1)

by Kresley Cole

Expected Release Date: November 27, 2012

He won’t be denied

Trehan Daciano, known as the Prince of Shadows, has spent his life serving his people, striking in the night, quietly executing any threat to their realm. The coldly disciplined swordsman has never desired anything for himself—until he beholds Bettina, the sheltered ward of two of the Lore’s most fearsome villains.

She’s bound to another

Desperate to earn her guardians’ approval after a life-shattering mistake, young Bettina has no choice but to marry whichever suitor prevails—even though she’s lost her heart to another. Yet one lethal competitor, a mysterious cloaked swordsman, invades her dreams, tempting her with forbidden pleasure.

A battle for her body and soul

Even if Trehan can survive the punishing contests to claim her as his wife, the true battle for Bettina’s heart is yet to come. And unleashing a millennium’s worth of savage need will either frighten his Bride away—or stoke Bettina’s own desires to a fever-pitch....

My Thoughts: Ugh, I love Kresley Cole's writing so much. It's so detailed and just...awesome. And I'm not just saying that because of the explicit scenes. It's because she gets into her work, and pulls it off wonderfully. I would read any book that she comes out with. And after I heard that she was writing a spin-off to The Immortals series, I knew I had to get it! This sounds so action-packed and thrilling and romantic all at the same time. Can't wait to get my greedy hands on a copy!
