Summary

I was known as the traitor's daughter.

When I was five years old, my father was tortured, branded with the letter Z, then beaten and left for dead. The grueling punishment for his crime was a reminder to all others who dared threaten the Russian's reign.

I was the young girl left behind. A living piece of the traitorous puzzle the Russian leader tried so diligently to ignore - until I grew up. No longer could he deny how much my existence had always been intertwined with his. And in order to survive the life I was thrown into, I was forced to learn my place inside of it.

Vlad Zalesky was a tyrant to the lost. I hated him.

He was a terror of mass destruction. I was afraid of him.

He was a tormentor of the weak. I wanted only to hide from him.

But not far beneath the venomous man's outward indifference was something else. Vlad Zalesky carried secrets of unrestrained burden. I wanted to know those secrets. And because of the decisions I made, someone in our family had to pay.

Where’s the next book?

Great book, but where is the next one?
This author is new to me and after enjoying this book I’d listen to the next of it was available.
Iggy Toma did an amazing job with the narration.

Not for me

This book could of been so much better, the plot has to many gaps and jumps forward to much to understand what is happening. Some of the chapter are repeated so miss other chapter. It’s a shame really as with out these I would of really enjoyed. The narrators were good tho and did bring the characters alive.

Empires and kings

I thought the book was great. It stopped occasionally. I’m not sure if it’s anything to do with the story, but I think it’s more the system itself. The story was great. The only thing I’d say let it down. I wouldn’t say let it down to a point, but it needs to have a strong thing at the beginning saying that this doesn’t end well story. At least then it gives people option To choose if they wanna read it because it is quite violent to point the story looking forward to reading the rest of the series
