![]() I found myself hating Cruz right along with Tover, hating him with a fiery passion. The betrayal itself almost seems to wound him worse than the physical torment he’s subjected to. Tover’s never weak or whiny despite all that happens to him. Coming from a pampered lifestyle where he’s almost worshipped, I didn’t expect such strength from him. I loved Tover’s from the start, spoiled and aware of how special he was, of his tremendous worth, yet not really full of himself. From the DK station to the green and vibrant Carida, the settings are so vibrantly alive and peopled with characters so real that I felt like I could step right into the book and shake their hands (or punch them out as the case may be). Seldom outside of an epic fantasy series have I encountered such excellent world-building. ![]() ![]() It’s harsh and hard to read in parts, BUT it’s also romantic, poignant and absolutely amazing. There’s extreme violence, torture and betrayal. On the day of his birthday celebration, Tover’s world changes irrevocably when he’s betrayed and kidnapped by none other than the man he loves. Despite his ability and the glamour and wealth it brings him, his life is routine save for a few bright spots: his birds and his passion for Cruz Arcadio. Tover Duke is an improvisational navigator, one of only forty-two people in the universe who can move things (and people) across space using the power of his mind. ![]()
