I received a copy of the book from the author in exchange for an honest review

Tuomo is an omega who hasn't yet found a mate. His clan and the areas around have been having a very difficult time (food is running low, the weather is not ideal, etc) and the clan feels that it should follow the legends from long ago of sacrificing a member. Because Tuomo is an unmated omega, he is "asked" to be the one sacrificed. He doesn't have a choice and he doesn't really want to do it, but he feels that he should do it because he isn't mated and he is loyal to his clan. Of course, all of this happened before his mate, Haskel came to a gathering. Tuomo wants to live and Haskel is willing to fight for him.

While I generally really enjoy this author, this one wasn't one of my favorites. This was much darker than normal, and it broke my heart to see how they treated Tuomo. I really liked Haskel and his friends. Tuomo and Haskel get their HEA, but it isn't without much drama, abuse, and meanness. I didn't care for that part, but at least they ended up happy. ( )
