There is no divorce in the undersea kingdom of Adlivun. Marriage is a bond that lasts until death—even if death comes in several centuries, and in that time your spouse happens to become your sworn enemy.

This is the conflict that General Visola Ramaris faces when she learns that the mighty Vachlan is behind the attacks on her kingdom. She has sworn to protect Adlivun with her life, but long ago, she also swore to love and honor her husband…

Visola must choose whether she will destroy Vachlan once and for all, or attempt the hardest thing conceivable: communication. After two hundred years of desertion, she has no faith in their feeble bond and knows she can never forgive him. When he threatens the person dearest to her, she must take action.

Confronting Vachlan on enemy territory would be nothing short of suicide. She knows that if she falls into his custody, the deranged man would relish breaking her down and making her lose her sanity.

Princess Aazuria forbids Visola from taking matters into her own hands; she will do anything it takes to protect her friend from the man who wants to crush her. Alas, Visola is a crazy, uncontrollable warrior woman with the blood of Vikings in her veins. Why would she ever consider doing the safe and predictable thing?

From the reviewers:
Empire Strikes Back, under water.   Like any great trilogy, this middle act serves up a dramatic cliffhanger to whet the reader’s appetite. – Thomas M. Bernal

A Dark and Sensuous Experience.  As a reader of the previous book, I was excited to check this one out. In this novel, we get to see a lot more of the undersea kingdom, and we learn a lot more about the history of the characters. Halfway through the story, you will be surprised with the bravery and wit of the heroine. There is an unexpectedly intense love story which takes place in multiple time periods and rich settings.  –  Nunya

Once again Nadia gave me a very interesting read. Thumbs up for another great book that will keep you reading until you reach the end.  – K. Huff

I found love in this book and you will too! The core of this book is the story of Visola, whom one cannot help but admire after understanding what she has gone through and how far she is willing to go in life for sake of her honor. There are so many ‘heights’ to this book that embody the build-up of admiration and sympathy for the characters. As one could expect in a book that is so strongly about Visola, there are so many funny parts to the book.  – Meloldy Mol
