![]() With no plot closure in this first volume and many crescendos of verbal and physical abuse, it's a fantasy world with little to leaven its somber plot. For Narian is destined to conquer Hytanica at the behest of his master, the powerful magic user known as the Overlord. ![]() Both girls are seeking their runaway half-human cousin, Zabriel, and their quest takes them back into the destructive and prejudiced human realm. An eighteen year old queen in love with the enemy as their countries pass the point of no return Bound to a man she cannot love, Queen Alera of Hytanica must forget Narian, the young man who holds her heart. ![]() Anya is one, and she doesn't want it, but she doesn't want her younger cousin Illumina to inherit it, either. A power struggle is underway among three young cousins who are eligible to inherit the throne of the Fae. With her spirit dampened, there is little more than gritty perseverance to buoy her. Anya, a 16-year-old Fae who likes to wander in the human world, is robbed of her dignity and optimism when humans sever her wings (the violation reads much like a rape). An entire generation of royal heirs has been orphaned, the queen is about to die, and her chosen successor is brutally mutilated. Kluver's Heirs of Chrior trilogy builds an early headwind for itself: dark, violent, and inhuman, whether the characters are technically human or not. ![]()
