Years ago the king of the dark world i.e Derek found a mate for himself in the form of a human female. When he saw her for the first time he knew that she was there for the taking thus he did exactly that. He took her to his coven and made her his mate, Sofia also had the same kind of intense feelings for the vampire and she didn’t part from him again. Their relation made Derek’s life terrible as well because his species didn’t accept Sofia’s presence. Derek’s father was among the chief opponents in the process. Slowly the vampire wore down the opponents and made a nice place for his beloved.
Once again a civil war has started and there are threats from the outer world too for the vampires. Meanwhile, the vampires have started doubting Derek once again because of Sofia. Derek is not worried about his trial rather he is worried about Sofia who is taken away by the Hunters because they want to part her from the vampire lover. In this dejected situation, Derek is more worried about Sofia rather than his throne.
Harley Merlin 2: Harley Merlin and the Mystery Twins and The Gender Game 3: The Gender Lie would not suit along with this book so it is better to listen to this series in sequence. Bella Forrest does not mix the characters of her series so listening to every series separately is a wise thing. Emma Galvin, Kate Rudd, Lucas Daniels, and Becca Battoe narrate in their independent style but it has not affected the impression of the story.
