Twisted Brand by Clare London

Sequel to The Gold Warrior

 

No longer a revered Gold Warrior, Maen is a disgraced soldier, held in suspicion despite his role in winning the Queenship of Aza City for his Mistress, Seleste.  Returned alive from his captivity by the rebel Exiles, his reward was to be cast out from his position, his brave loyalty dismissed.  He remains an unwilling thrall to the new Queen while his heart mourns the memory of Dax, the young Bronzeman he helped escape from a sentence of death. 

When Maen is put under the guard of the arrogant Gold Warrior Zander and given the thankless task of preparing a Royal History, they both join up with the lively scribe Kiel.  The youngster's bold curiosity initiates a chain of events that will change their world and that of the City forever.  Maen's own discoveries will cast a new and shocking light on the Royal history and stir revolution in both citizens and rebels. And he will finally return to the Exile camp to face the one thing that can make him choose desire over duty.

Coffee Time Romance & More - Reviewed by Regina

Twisted Brand is a wonderfully complex read. The world building is beyond extraordinary, and so richly detailed that the reader feels as though she is right there interacting with the characters. Maen’s very real anguish over the loss of Dax is so palpable that it fairly jumps from the pages. This is one of those books where the secondary characters play almost as big of a role as the main characters do and give this book a very firm foundation from which to tell the story. The love between Maen and Dax is so real that the reader can do nothing but pine for such a great love for themselves. While there are definitely some very erotic love scenes they are very emotion filled and loving, adding even more to the realism of the story as it unfolds. I cannot say enough good things about this book, so if you enjoy intensely romantic, as well as erotic books, then you simply cannot miss this one!

I looked forward to reading TWISTED BRAND the sequel to THE GOLD WARRIOR with great anticipation and I wasn’t disappointed!  I really enjoyed the addition of a few new characters and getting to know some of the returning characters better. The plot is filled with intriguing twists and turns. Maen is still as captivating as ever. I really liked the way his character continues to develop throughout this story. There is still a lot for him to learn and I was delighted to continue his journey with him. Clare London has written a compelling and very exciting sequel.

Boys Next Door - Reviewed by Cynthia  «««««

I like books that leave me feeling satisfied. Books that I can walk away from, happy, knowing things are going to be right in the the books universe. London delivers on all of the above in this release, the sequel to The Gold Warrior.

I love how deftly she handled the main characters angst and confusion with the stoicism befitting a warrior, albeit a disgraced and fallen warrior.

Since Maen is now working for the new Queen, both in bed and as a servant, he has little time to think about his lost love, Dax, but missing Dax colors his every move. Queen Seleste knows this, and it infuriates her, as she wants all of Maen, completly devoted to her.

When tales of Dax's death reach Maen, he's crushed. One of the things that kept him going in his new role, stripped of any glory he may have had, was the knowledge that Dax was out there, alive, somewhere.

During this time, Maen befriends a young scribe, Kiel. Kiel is smart, blindingly so, and has more than book knowledge up his sleeve. What Kiel uncovers has the making to unravel their society as they know it.

Don't feel too bad for Maen, things will manage to work out for him. He's our hero, don't forget, and he's more clever than anyone gives him credit for, well, except for Dax and Kiel.

I always enjoy London's writing. She's able to spin a story that sucks you in and makes you feel along with the characters.
