| "In Clouds Of War, Diana Rivers leads the reader on an adventure of epic proportions. Brimming with love, boiling with hatred and overflowing with lust, this is a book your bookmark won't find a home in. The fast-paced plot and intriguing characters keep you turning pages from the first sentence to the very last word. The fourth book in Rivers' Hadra series, Clouds of War is the mutinous tale Aranella, an overthrown Zarna (Rivers' equivalent of a governor) and the quest of Jolaina, her lover and advisor, to return her to power. Add a kidnapping, a pending war and the mystical powers of the Hadra to the plot and the result is a great book for any fantasy lover." Melissa Brown, Lambda Book Report | |
