A Reign of Malice by Heather Renee

 This book finished off the series beautifully. I would say of her series this one & Luna Marked series are tied for favorite shifter series. And Heather writes great shifter books! In this one Sloane finally gets a shot at romance. Her kingdom is dying & no one knows why. Each day things get worse. She's a strong queen who thinks outside the box. She is a brilliant leader but with her island dying she's running out of options. Does she split her pack up among the other kingdoms or marry King Aeson. If she does the latter, she can still rule her people on different soil. If she lets her pack split up then she isn't a ruler anymore & feels like she failed them. She decides to do a trial run & go to King Aeson's island. The problem is King Aeson isn't her mate. And if she finds her mate later she will be unable to stop the pull that will drive her to him. King Aeson is nice. He says & does all the right things but her instincts are telling her something is off. SPOILER ALERT! I don't usually do this but I want you to choose if you want to read further. She signs the agreement but shortly after discovers what her wolf was trying to show her. Her mate is trapped under that castle by dark magic. Now she needs to find out who knows about it , who did it, and how can she get him out. She can't physically go there. She can only spirit walk. And who does she trust on this new island besides the small amount of her remaining pack that are with her? Of course, if you've read the rest of the series she has to call on the other kings & kings to help her. On top of that they have to figure out how to get through the dark magic to get him out. Two hundred years fighting to stay alive to meet a mate you've never seen. Jullian is an amazingly strong Alpha he was just brainwashed into believing he couldn't be the Alpha. That he'd be terrible for the people. The happily ever after ending is so good. But I would still love to see more from this world. Maybe follow any future children the couples have, etc.
