Required Reading

Life is complicated enough without getting into hotwater with federal agencies so: TAKE NOTE Many things I review I received at no charge in exchange for an honest review. Consider this as informing you that ALL things I review may have been gotten at no charge. Realistically about 40% but in order to keep things above board just assume that I got the stuff free. I do not collect information on my readers. If cookies or other tracking stuff is used on my blogs it is due to BLOGGER not ME. Apparently the European Union's new rules state I need to inform you if cookies are being use. If they are it isn't byu me, consider yourself INFORMED.
Words like, “sponsored,” “promotion,” “paid ad” or even just “ad” are clear ways to disclose that you’re being paid to share information and links so BE AWARE that some of what I write can be described as an AD by the government. BTW I will NEVER say a product is great, super or even acceptable if it isn't, whether I got it free or NOT!

Desert Rising by Kelley Grant


Nomadic traders find interaction with a theocracy or perhaps more accurate a polytheistic dominated city state fraught with danger.  Visiting the temple can lead one to be chosen by one of four quarreling deities shown by a great cat adopting them. The Forsaken are this societies un-touchables often due to the greed of temple politics.  

Sulis and Kadar are twins thrust into the role of revolutionaries.  Their desert society does not believe in slavery which is what the role of the Forsaken really is. 

Grant does a very good job developing her strong female protagonist in Sulis.   Kadar is not give the same depth of development except as a supporting role for Sulis.   I do enjoy strong female protagonists.


This is an exceptional story, captivating and exciting, I recommend it.


This book may have been received free of charge from a publisher or a publicist. That will NEVER have a bearing on my recommendations.
