Basilisk Tales Book 1: Dark Descent by Riane Lasair takes us to a futuristic planet where the development of one group has caused the need for two worlds to exist. There is the Aergra world which is above ground, and the Undernegra, a below ground world created by those who no longer could live in Aergra. Fear had separated the people, and while the Undernegra could have perished and given up, they thrived and adapted to their new surroundings. While most believe that Aergra is far more advanced, only residents of Undernegra know if this is reality or fabrication. The two worlds will have to pull together when a mutual enemy means to destroy them all. The gifts of Undernegran empath Vee will come in handy to find the culprits. Teamed with Upperworlder scientists and security personnel, Vee didn’t know what to expect. What he found was a mate in their leader, Brand.

This well-written story has characters with a magnetism that entices you to read further and will have you hoping the story won’t end. Vee is sweet and innocent in some ways, but when the gloves come off; he proves that he truly knows how to handle himself. Brand is handsome and a man of command. He doesn’t know why he is so attracted to Vee, but he plans to discover all of his secrets. Definitely, a story worth reading, and I’m hoping Ms. Lasair will bring us a new chapter in Vee and Brand’s quest very soon.
