Both men seem inexplicably drawn to Duna, willing to sacrifice to keep her safe. Only one, however, is sincere. As Cathal leaves Duna in the White City to reunite with Leila, she becomes caught up in Prince Madir’s obsession with her. What will Cathal do, and how does his history tie in with an epoch-old legend of the two godly brothers and the one’s ultimate betrayal and its consequences for mortals?

The Snows of Nissa by Isabella Khalidi is an intense and spicy read, an adult fantasy for mature audiences. The varied characters feature tough female heroines and dark, dangerous men. There are instances of gender abuse, explicit sex, and violent scenes. The story closely examines how people manipulate others to get what they want, so far as to try to change a person into something they aren’t. It also pays attention to the notion that one partner in a relationship can view the other as their possession, becoming abusive in their belief that the other cannot have their own will. It will be interesting to see how the intricate relationships develop and play out during the series.
