Ramesses and Neferterri are preparing to attend a collaring ceremony of a new slave at Amenhotep’s estate, and are looking forward to a night out. When Ramesses is approached by a lady friend who wants to join his group of slaves, it may be a problem for her husband. Although the husband is a close friend to Ramesses, and a submissive himself, he still resists his wife’s actions.

Amenhotep is contemplating leaving his position as master of the BDSM group and start a new life elsewhere. He is accused of forcing one of his slaves, who came to him, and asked to be part of his group. It leads to Ramesses investigating what happened and clearing his friend of the charges. There is still another danger to Ramesses but he hasn’t figured it out yet. Because of Amenhotep’s new slaves’ jealousy it leads to more problems and when you are trying to be exclusive, that is not the kind of attention one wants.

It didn’t set well with the others of the group, and she will find that loyalty goes a long way with the members. Ramesses and Neferterri are at the center of everything going on, and I was very impressed with how they function as a couple. Ramesses is the liaison for the entire group and peacemaker for any trouble that arises for everyone involved. His own little group makes changes that was not expected and let’s throw in a plot against him and one of his close friends.

Chronicles of the Nubian Underworld: The Awakening revealed what goes on in the BDSM groups, and if you are not into pain or bondage, leave it alone. This is the first in the Chronicles of the Nubian Underworld; who knows where the focus of the next story might be. I found the characters very interesting because they were determined to live normal lives and have a secondary persona to enjoy erotic pleasure in a different way. It showed that they are very trusting and pain/pleasure was at the top of their list. I loved the Egyptian theme and also the automatic loyalty/respect they had for the Dom/Dommes. Well, almost complete loyalty.
The author has a vivid imagination, and spun this tale very well for me. They made the scenes come to life, and had my respect for the safe words they used before going too far with some of the sessions. I thought that Ramesses and Neferterri handled every circumstance and worked through the rough situations beautifully each time. This reader was very impressed by the author, and wonder what they will come up with next.
