THE STORY (from Goodreads)
The Psy-Changeling world has undergone a staggering transformation and now stands at a crossroads. The Trinity Accord promises a new era of cooperation between disparate races and groups. It is a beacon of hope held together by many hands: Old enemies. New allies. Wary loners.
But a century of distrust and suspicion can’t be so easily forgotten and threatens to shatter Trinity from within at any moment. As rival members vie for dominance, chaos and evil gather in the shadows and a kidnapped woman’s cry for help washes up in San Francisco, while the Consortium turns its murderous gaze toward a child who is the embodiment of change, of love, of piercing hope: A child who is both Psy…and changeling.
To find the lost, protect the vulnerable—and save Trinity—no one can stand alone. This is a time of loyalty across divisions, of bonds woven into the heart and the soul, of heroes known and unknown standing back to back and holding the line. But is an allegiance of honor even possible with traitors lurking in their midst?
MY THOUGHTS
Allegiance
of Honor is a unique installment in Ms. Singh's outstanding
Psy-Changeling series, reuniting us with beloved couples and
characters from previous books instead of focusing on a single
primary romance as the political maneuvering in this world reaches
an all-time high.
While
perhaps a touch slower in terms of pace given the lack of romantic
tension fans like myself have come to know and love from Ms. Singh,
spending new time with some of the early couples that stole our
hearts is nothing short of delightful. Sascha and Lucas, the pair
that started it all, are at the forefront of this fifteenth
installment, bringing a smile to our faces with their every
appearance as they work together to raise baby Naya. Bringing a
little humor to the rising tensions is a very pregnant Mercy, whom
everyone continually tries to distract to keep her from focusing on
the fact that she's yet to give birth. Vaughn and Faith, Judd and
Brenna, Hawke and Sienna and so many others fill the pages alongside
Sascha and Lucas, giving us longtime fans a true sense of how rich
and expansive this world has become over the years, and leaving us
with an intense desire to go back to the beginning and start all over
again.
Those
who have yet to read any of the books in this series should not start
with this one, as the storylines from previous books all come to a
head and there's no individual romance on which to focus when the
unfamiliar politics might prove to be a bit confusing. Allegiance of
Honor is truly a gift to the fans, a chance to revisit the past while basking
in the present, watching and waiting with breath held to see what the
future of the entire Psy-Changeling world is going to hold in store.
