Blood Flows Deep in the Empire, book review

Blood Flows Deep in the Empire

This erotic fantasy begins with a prologue set 11,000 years before the rest of the book. A group of gods whose job had been to protect has turned against the universe and is causing calamity everywhere. Dyletri, God of Fertility, views it all from a distance and is enraged. He vows to make them pay someday. He also begs for the life of the one human woman he has come to love. He makes a bargain with the Fates that in 11,000 years, she will be brought back, at the expense of another life. Ismini is meant to be that sacrifice, but he has watched over her since her birth. What will happen when the inevitable time comes? Can he watch her be sacrificed to his long-ago bargain, especially when he feels a pull to her, a desire for her like nothing either of them has ever known?

I was sucked into this world and adventure from the very beginning. Finding myself completely wrapped up in what was happening to them, greedily racing through it to discover the outcomes, longing for what I wanted to happen. The author created strong vibrant characters, people you care about and want to see triumph over all that comes against them, from outside and from within their own hearts and souls. A masterpiece.

Here is a small guest post from the author.

-What would you tell a new author (or whatever you want to talk about)

It’s not as easy as you think! Honestly, if you really want this career, buckle-up and prepare yourself. It’s sad how many amazing, talented authors I see freak-out and give up because they realize going in that it’s not just writing a book and that’s it. There’s a whole pile of other things that go into being an author and you gotta have resiliency to stick to it.
