In a world where the League and its assassins rule, where betrayal and treachery are everywhere . . . the only survivors are those ones who are . . .
BORN OF SHADOWS
For Caillen Dagan, a defiant soldier of fortune, survival isn't a right, it's a brutal daily battle. Moving through the Ichidaian universe like a wraith, his brushes with the law and death are legendary. But when an act of rare heroism reveals his hidden birthright, he's forced into a world much more dangerous and cold-hearted than the bloody streets where he was raised-one of obscene wealth and lethal politics.
Ferocious and determined, Desideria serves as an official bodyguard for her queen. Born of questionable genetics, she will do anything to prove herself worthy of the weapons she carries and the position she's won by combat. But when she uncovers a ruthless plot to assassinate the queen and overthrow her country's government, Desideria is caught in the crosshairs.
With assassination contracts out on both of them, Caillen and Desideria must learn to fight together or die alone. And if they fail, their governments will fall into the hands of an unimaginable evil.

Caillen Dagan ha aprendido a vivir en el Universo Ichidian casi como un espectro, y sus encontronazos co nla ley y la muerte son constantes. Pero en el momento en que lo detienen y están a punto de ejecutarlo, su ADN revela su verdadero origen. Caillen se ve obligado entonces a adentrarse en un mundo aún más peligroso y despiadado que el de las sangrientas calles en las que se crió.
Desideria persiste en su lucha por ganarse un lugar de honor en la guardia real de su madre, pero cuando denuncia un complot para asesinar a la reina, se pondrá en el punto de mira de los conspiradores golpistas y su vida se verá seriamente amenazada.
Tanto Caillen como Desideria deberán aprender a luchar juntos, porque si fracasan, el mundo será un poco más desleal... y mucho más peligroso.

I love Sherrilyn Kenyon's books, there has not been a single one I have not liked. And when it comes to the League books they just keep getting better and better. ( )

Listened to audio narrated by Holter Graham. Caillen discovers he's a Prince,, kidnapped years ago. Desideria is the daughter of a matriarchal race. Plots framing them for their parents murder have them on the run. Friends coming to save them and help them figure out who was really behind the murders. Making things even more challenging is how they can possibly be together due to royal obligations. Similar themes with from previous books, characters enduring extreme tragedies and abuse in the series but still engaging throughout.

I read this for the Pirates square (space pirates!) and my Series read selection.

I felt the couple went back and forth snarking at each other for too long and not sure I bought into their romance. The futuristic space jargon was a bit goofy to follow sometimes but it also adds to this world.
The betrayal, villain storyline was so rushed and a bit convoluted at the end and I found myself not really caring.
This is at times a lighthearted, goofy, dark, emotional, simple, and complex book series. I can't pinpoint why I keep going back to it but I will.
I find myself really wanting to read the heroine's brother's, Chayden, story. ( )

First up I have a small confession to make. I haven't actually read the first three books in the The League series. This was actually my first foray into the Sherrilyn Kenyon's writing. While I do think this may have put me at a small disadvantage as obviously I didn't recognise characters from the previous novels that both featured in and were alluded to, I was still able to enjoy the story that was being told in this book without this.

To start with, Kenyon's main characters of Caillen Dagen and Desideria are extremely well written and likable and Kenyon gives you time to get to know them even while pushing the story along. They are by no means perfect but this doesn't matter as you still find yourself invested in what happens to them and the journey this takes them and the reader on.

I also enjoyed the chemistry between them. While occasionally the dialogue between them seemed a little contrived and forced, on the whole you believed them as a couple which is essential with any good romance.

However this is not just a story about a romance. There is action a plenty from the first scene onwards as Caillen and Desideria unravel murder plots and escape hostile aliens trying to kill them. As reader, I felt like I was close to the edge of my seat the whole time wondering just what would happen next as they seemed to escape from one extreme situation to the next.

I didn't predict the ending which is always a good thing and Kenyon throws in enough twists and turns that you are never sure if you have the whole answer until the end. The only trouble I did have was that towards the end things got a little confusing and it wasn't always clear who was speaking or being spoken about and it took me a couple of reads of the last few chapters to try to get my head around exactly what had happened

Overall though I give this story a 3 1/2 stars and thoroughly recommend this to all Sherrilyn Kenyon fans. To those who are new to this author, I would recommend you start with the first three books in the series as I think if I had started with these first, I would have been able to give this book a four star rating.
