Born of Defiance<\/em> (The League Series Book 9)
\nBy Sherrilyn Kenyon<\/p>\n

This is Sherrilyn Kenyon 9th book in \u201cThe League\u201d series. The genre is paranormal romance, which may also fall into science fiction. All of her characters grab your heart from the first page and don\u2019t let go until the last. You journey with them through all their trials and get to understand how they find ways, despite seemingly insurmountable odds stacked against them, to maintain their civility and their humility to be the most caring and loving people in the universe.<\/p>\n

This series is based in the Ichidian Universe and this book takes place on the planet of Andarion. It\u2019s a planet where a person\u2019s social status is defined by their parent\u2019s lineage. It\u2019s a warrior society, ruled by royalty. For entertainment the masses enjoy arena fighting sometimes ending in death, but successful gladiators rise to become superstars.<\/p>\n

This is Talyn Batur\u2019s world. Born out of wedlock and without his father\u2019s lineage, he is treated like an outcast and relegated to the lowest caste of Andarion society. If it were not for his illegitimacy, he would be considered royalty; his mother, Galene Batur, is a high-ranking official in the planetary military. Talyn, a military fighter pilot, spends his leave time as an arena fighter. Despite his successes in the arena, his military commander, Colonel Christen Anatole, despises Talyn and Galene. Unable to take his hatred out on her, Anatole takes his anger out on Talyn reminding him he will never gain full acceptance in Andarion society. <\/p>\n

But despite his success in the ring, which brings him great wealth, he is still an outcast. Due to his low class status the only way for him to have a woman is by paying for a contracted companion.
\nAndarions tolerate contracted companionships as long as strict rules and procedures are followed. Felicia Orfanos decides to become Talyn\u2019s companion in order to help pay her way through medical school. She meets all of the demands of the contract and pays a very steep price because of his caste status. It isn\u2019t long before the two fall in love, but Andarion law will never allow them to marry because of the stigma of Talyn\u2019s lineage.\n<\/p>\n

Andarions are ruled by leader who tyranny threatens to throw their world into chaos. Felicia\u2019s family, powerful adversaries of their leader, join with others in a conflict to overthrow the oppression threatening to destroy their world. A conflict which puts Talyn and Felicia at the center forcing Talyn to make a choice and risk everything and everyone he loves and rebel against the government or remain loyal and suffer the indignity of being an outcast. His life and his world are at stake.<\/p>\n

Once you read this book you will want to read the previous volumes in the series.<\/p>\n
