World domination is the least of their problems.

A RUDDERLESS MORTAL WOMAN. Silver Laing leads the ordinary life of a white-collar worker. Lonely and desperately in search of purpose and new horizons, she gets more than she bargained for when she is offered a mysterious job.

A CATACLYSMIC PLAN BILLIONS OF YEARS IN THE MAKING. When a deadly visitor from Lau’s shrouded past threatens to lay the world in ashes, Silver and Lau must form an unlikely alliance against ancient and far superior forces.

An alliance with the potential to shake the very foundation of the Universe.

My Review

I really wasn’t sure where this book was going when I started but I’m so glad I went along for the ride. This new urban fantasy was thoroughly enjoyable with a side helping of distant worlds, god-like beings with billions of years worth of issues, and a brave witty mortal woman with secrets of her own.

This book has a slow beginning, full of witty dialogue, pop-culture and historical references, a lot of which probably went over my head, but the complex world-building, or rather universe-building, sucked me right in. At times violent, intimate and sombre this book is certainly unique, and I would recommend it if you like your fantasy with a bit more substance than your typical UF.

While this book has a slow beginning, by the midway point I was thoroughly hooked, especially by that slow burn romance. Phew! The sexual tension! I’m glad this was an adult book, it’s nice to read about a protagonist my own age (and her quasi-immortal love interest of course). I want more of Lau and Silver please! The aeons old friendship between Rafe and Lau is both heart-breaking and full of hope, and I hope to see a lot more of these two troublemakers. 

There is still a lot to reveal with plots spanning millennia, and enigmas by the truckload and I look forward to finding out more of this universe’s dirty little secrets in the next book.

Happy Reading 💗

Author Bio:

Sybil Le Pyrmont was born in Germany and was raised on the Canary Islands (that Gallic name is a pseudonym – her actual name has as much flair as a tax return). Although she now resides in Frankfurt, Germany, her heart has been beating for Tokyo ever since she spent a year in that city and discovered her epic love for all things Japan. That includes, to her acute embarrassment, the Shinagawa train station jingle she has installed as her ringtone. When Sybil isn’t writing, or dreaming of the anonymous donor who will some day gift her a house in Japan, she splits her time between her airline day job and long rants about the sunshine and the always-too-hot weather.

Sybil writes urban fantasy adventure to whisk her readers away to realms of imagination that have a distinct possibility of existing somewhere in the depths of the Universe.
