A NIGHT OWL REVIEWS BOOK REVIEW | Reviewed by: Bmac
Magic. Lust. Love. Sacrifice. Intensely gripping from the opening scene, this riveting tale of destiny and desire will have the reader hungering for more, page after page, all the way through the ending. In another world, a vastly oppressed culture is controlled by the corruption and evils of a government willing to do anything to maintain power. Two Elite Warriors must sacrifice all they have known and go against all they have been taught to vie for a chance at love; a love so condemned that it is punishable by death…or worse. Their plight is laced with trials and tribulations as they risk their lives to protect a spark of love that is fanned into a scintillating passion that threatens to consume their very existence. Classically reflecting in the characters the same vices and virtues of today’s society, The Curse of Gremdon exploits the battle between moral frailty and virtuous fortitude. This timeless tale of forbidden love will lead the reader on a desperate search for the truth of what really is the greater good, and what it really means to forge your own destiny and defy fate.

Book Blurb for The Curse of Gremdon
In a world where marriage is forbidden, sex is only granted to male warriors, and the outer realm is full of murderous creatures, Arianna fights to protect the life of her only living relative, her brother. Tardon, an elite warrior, is granted anything he desires by the Elders, but finds little joy in the voluptuous women presented to him. Born for the bloodlust found only in battle, complicated emotions emerge when he discovers his equal in the alluring warrior, Arianna. Charged by the Elders with saving the castle from attack, Tardon and Arianna risk the curse when they traverse the vast outer realm to retrieve serum from the Tree of Life. If successful, the Elders have promised Tardon the right to marry, and Arianna the cure for her brother's death fever. Will their love carry them through or will the discovery of a great deception be their ultimate demise?
