I truly hope that there will be more books in this series (pleasepleasepleeeeeeeeese. Few authors can pull so many emotions at once (fast paced, explosive, emotional, and deliciously hot) and make it something that you devour in one sitting yet Mary Calmes manages it, again. was riveting both due to the power of the story and the richness of the world Mary weaves around them. Seeing how he dealt with all the corruption surrounding him as he struggles to fulfill his and Logans dreams for what the Samel-atan should be and can do. That first scene had my heart thumping and I think I cheered (much to my childrens amusement) out loud. That all being said, Crucible of Fate picks up right when Domin, Yuri, Crane, and the others return from the adventures in Honored. But trust me, its all needed and logical within the story arc. One note before I dive into why Crucible of Fate is a MUST READ this book has some violence, though not as much as Honored Vow but does touch on rape, murder, poisoning, and more. I had already grown to love Domin, but in this book I totally fell in-love with him and Yuri! Crucible of Fate is book #4 in the Change of Heart series and the first not to be from Jins POV.

Whether Domin is ready or not, Fate has stepped in to teach him a lesson: internal threats are just as dangerous as external ones.Īt the end of Honored Vow I was certain that it was my favourite Mary Calmes story. He also must determine how to deal with a conspiracy, all the while falling hard for a man who, for the first time in Domin’s life, reciprocates that love. While juggling a homesick Crane, a moody Mikhail, a bullwhip-wielding Taj, servants with murderous intentions, a visiting ex, and a mate on a dangerous goodwill mission, Domin has to figure out his new role alone. But Domin may have set too lofty a goal: his normal leadership style isn’t working. He aspires to make sweeping changes-he’s set goals for himself and the people he chose to bring with him, modeling his reign after that of his friend, Logan Church.

In the secret city of Sobek, Domin Thorne is making his way as the newly chosen semel-aten, the leader of the werepanther world.
