Samanthra, the daughter of a king and sorceress, the sister of many and the betrothed of the unknown. Her Awakening is upon her, she can feel it. For her entire life her father, Dias, has been giving her potions to suppress the beast inside her soul in order to prevent her Awakening, as it brings about a prophecy that could be the end of her sisters, all 7 of them. Living in the land of Terah, Samanthra is High Priestess to many clans of immortal and mortal. Well respected for her power as well as for her compassion, Samanthra will do anything to keep her Awakening from coming forth so not to destroy all that she holds dear.
A storm brews in the land of Terah, one the likes they have never seen. The Elders cannot pin-point the imprint of the person behind the storm. The Elders retreat to a safe and secure realm in order to discuss the action to be taken by the realms to put an end to this high-energy storm.
Samanthra and her sisters are ordered to stay behind and not to attend the Beal-tene festival. Ignoring the wishes of her father and king, she and her sisters sneak out. This night however, is not full of festivities and happy smiles but horror, bloodshed and the beginning of her Awakening.
Darieus, The Father of the Blood, finally made it out of the Dead Sleep he was cursed to centuries ago. Now he is on the move with his brothers to find his Beloved and fix his bloodlines which evil has destroyed. Moving through the land of Terah, he happens upon his Beloved, his soul’s mate and is enraged to find she does not remember him, knows nothing of him, and is…terrified?
The Beal-tene festivities bring Darieus and Samanthra together, not in love but in fear of the coming doom from the storm and all that evil brings. Can Darieus and Samanthra survive the coming events? Will Samanthra remember her soul’s mate and learn to trust Darieus? Alternatively, will Terah and all other surrounding realms fall victim to The Dark Matter of evil that blackens and kills the lands?
Bound By Blood: The Awakening is an impressive read. The story entrapped me and would not release its hold until the final page. Samanthra showed me what a strong, selfless woman could do when put to challenges and Darieus showed me that a man can be both warrior and lover without ever combining the two…well unless asked, that is. However, I will admit that the formatting of the PDF made it a little difficult to read. I am not an expert but the formatting was off.
C.H. Scarlett has won herself a spot on my favorite author list, and I will be waiting rather impatiently for the continuation of the Bound by Blood saga, and can hope that there is going to be a continuation.

Thank you so much for the review and there will be another installment. I do apologize for the format but my publisher, Dark Roast Press is working out those unexpected kinks now.
