Shadow and Ice by Gena Showalter digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

From a New York Times bestseller, a “satisfying” first book in “an epic fantasy romance series [that] beautifully blends seduction and suspense” (Publishers Weekly).

Gena Showalter, the New York Times–bestselling author who brought you the Lords of the Underworld, introduces a scorching new paranormal romance series . . . Gods of War

Knox of Iviland, the most ruthless warrior in All War history, has spent his life fighting others to the death, winning new realms for his king. Now the stakes are higher than ever. If he prevails in the battle for Earth, his slave bands will be removed. Victory is his sole focus . . . until he meets her.

On an arctic getaway with her foster sister, street tough but vulnerable Vale London is shocked to stumble upon a cave filled with ancient gods waging epic combat. When she is inadvertently drawn into their war, she is forced to team up with an unlikely ally—the sexy god who makes her burn with desire.

Though Vale is his enemy, Knox is consumed with lust and a fierce need to protect her. But only one combatant can triumph, and he will have to choose: live for freedom, or die for love.

“I love this world . . . this is Gena Showalter at her best!” —J.R. Ward, #1 New York Times–bestselling author of The Children of the Gods series

“The Gods of War series is my new obsession.” —Christine Feehan, #1 New York Times–bestselling author of The Leopard series

“This was only an okay read for me. For an adult book, I found Vale to be really immature and honestly a bit annoying. Knox was interesting, but I felt like I never actually got know him. Their whole relationship felt forced, moving from hate to love without actually seeing the growth. The premise was interesting...an inter-galactic competition to rule over newly-discovered worlds, I just wished it could have been more of a focus. I also struggled to remember the names of all the other competitors and what realms they came from.”
