With Serenity gone, Melchior is forced to face his denials of love for her and the fact that she is his true mate.

Serenity is a unique and well written compelling story of the power of love and the sting of rejection. In this very creative universe of D. Renee Bagby, the issues of prejudice are showcased with the difference of species. The Bhresyas are displayed in a variety of skin colors; Melchior’s skin tone is blue, while Serenity has a human brown skin tone. The obstacles of an interracial relationship are diminished with the acceptance of the love they are destined to share. The emotional journey is heart wrenching, the storyline is insightful and this is an incredible story that I enjoyed immensely.
