Retribution — Mychael Black

From the ashes of war emerges a fiery love.

Secrets of Socendor, Book 3

Already despised as a half-elf, half-human lithing, exiled king Braen must face the destruction he has wrought. By resurrecting his father, he has unleashed a terrible evil upon the land. His only hope to save his people is to join forces with elves and humans, his traditional enemies. Which makes his undeniable desire for the human captain Jéan Bastien intolerable.

With the land of Socendor's fate hanging in the balance, dealing with his lust for Braen is the last thing Jéan needs. Not only because Braen's a lithing, but because Jéan has never before desired a man. Yet their magnetic attraction draws them together even as war drives them apart.

Time has run out for the people of Socendor. Led by General Kalen Ysindroc, Braen's half brother, and his elven lover, wizard Micheil Thierauf, the united band of elves, lithings, and men march on Sunderlind, though their numbers are too few. As dragons darken the skies and arrows fly, love and loyalty must win the day…or darkness will reign forever.

Warning: This book contains explicit scenes of love between men, some tender, some not; bloody, frightening warfare; heartbreak…and hope.
