Such a great duet! Both books were excellent. This book about Bellamy & his mate who we kinda learned about in the previous book. Bellamy we learned at the end of book 1 came down with the sickness taking many in Etlia. Personally, I had predilections about Bellamy & Oscar’s jokes about his wolf, but also put things together that he must have been in hiding. Well, boy isn’t that the truth! Ashwood was a wonderful adult character who like all humans have made mistakes & hurt others immensely. In this case, Ashwood is the only one who can save Bellamy from the “scarlet fever” & after much pride & prejudice on Bellamy’s part finally decides that after learning more about what happened to Ashwood when B ran away, makes the decision that by getting well he could potentially vanquish their enemy for Ashwood’s sake & for his mother’s untimely demise. Anyway, don’t want to give all the story away so I’ll leave it at that. Happy reading! Listened via Anyplay.
