Circe Quinn goes to sleep at home and wakes up in a corral filled with women wearing sacrificial virgin attire - and she is one of them. She soon finds out that she’s not having a wild dream, she’s living a frightening nightmare where she’s been transported to a barren land populated by a primitive people and in short order, she’s installed very unwillingly on her white throne of horns as their Queen.
Dax Lahn is the king of Suh Tunak, The Horde of the nation of Korwahk and with one look at Circe, he knows she will be his bride and together they will start The Golden Dynasty of legend.
Circe and Lahn are separated by language, culture and the small fact she’s from a parallel universe and has no idea how she got there or how to get home. But facing challenge after challenge, Circe finds her footing as Queen of the brutal Korwahk Horde and wife to its King, then she makes friends then she finds herself falling in love with this primitive land, its people and especially their savage leader.
5. BEST BOOK EVER STARS!
“You know I love you,” I whispered in his ear.
“I know,” he whispered back, turned, I pulled my arms away and he got on his knees in front of me, his hands framing my face.
I looked in his dark eyes.
“Do you know how much?” I kept whispering.
“How much, baby?” Lahn kept whispering too. I bent my forehead to his and told him the truth.
“More than my world.”
You know how there are good books , great books that makes you talk about them and you can go on and on and there’s always something to say about it? Well The Golden Dynasty goes truly beyond that. This book is ENDLESSLY AMAZING, I really think is Kristen Ashley at her finest. This is everything and by that I mean EVERY SINGLE THING . Is painful, heartbreaking , distressing, unbelievably romantic, passionate and forgiving. This book is not for everyone to be honest, is simply one of those books that’ll have you question everything even yourself. God how can there be so much perfection in one book?!
Circe Quinn is another girl that gets transported to a parallel universe but unlike in Wildest Dreams Circe has no idea why she’s there and how she got there. Circe faces terror, and danger and in all ways you can possibly imagine yet she ends up married to a warrior king and ends up queen, and facing many hardships. If by chapter 4 you can continue reading then *applause* you’re one of those readers that likes a challenge, if not then is understandable. I felt like reading this book was crucial, I couldn’t stop reading.
“It was a nightmare. It was a nightmare’s nightmare.”
How on earth this wild warrior that seemed heartless at first ended up in love with Circe and Circe in love with him, I have no idea I just know it was beautiful. I cried and cried and cried and I covered my mouth with my hand like seriously you get the picture, It seriously put all my emotions out there , it didn’t matter if it this was fantasy it fell very real to me.
This book will make you believe in hope, in forgiveness, in true love. Is a book worth rereading time and time again even when you stop to think: I can’t with this! Best book ever. Best plot ever , best couple ever!
“He was a man who could have anything he wanted and if not, he was a man who was strong enough to take it. Except one thing. Me.”
Circe was a survivor, she was fierce, she didn’t back down, she loved, she forgave, she gave her all to the savage village. She’s one of my favorite heroines, I still don’t believe how she did it.
Lahn was well, is hard to explain. He seemed heartless at first, to be honest I didn’t even like him at first but then KA does something, she works her magic so that i’ll fall in love with him at every turn. That’s what I did, adore him, he’s one of my book husbands.
This book is worth every minute, every sleepless night it takes you to read it. Take a chance on this far away land. Nothing will seem like a fantasy, KA opens the door to this character’s soul and once you see what’s inside you won’t want to leave. READ IT!
