They are the light against the darkness.The steel against the necromancy of the Druj.And they use demons to hunt demons....Nazafareen lives for revenge. A girl of the isolated Four-Legs Clan, all she knows about the King's elite Water Dogs is that they bind wicked creatures called daevas to protect the empire from the Undead. But when scouts arrive to recruit young people with the gift, she leaps at the chance to join their ranks. To hunt the monsters that killed her sister.Scarred by grief, she's willing to pay any price, even if it requires linking with a daeva named Darius. Human in body, he's possessed of a terrifying power, one that Nazafareen controls. But the golden cuffs that join them have an unwanted side effect. Each experiences the other's emotions, and human and daeva start to grow dangerously close.As they pursue a deadly foe across the arid waste of the Great Salt Plain to the glittering capital of Persepolae, unearthing the secrets of Darius's past along the way, Nazafareen is forced to question his slavery--and her own loyalty to the empire. But with an ancient evil stirring in the north, and a young conqueror sweeping in from the west, the fate of an entire civilization may be at stake...Praise for The Midnight Sea"A spellbinding fantasy with some moral weight and a meatier narrative than usual, one likely to leave readers quite satisfied...

"This was a really good book. I want to read the rest of the trilogy. "

"<a href="http://laughinglistener.com/"><br/>The Laughing Listener</a><br/><b>June 2018</b><br/><b>Format:</b> Audiobook<br/><b>Narrator:</b> Piper Goodeve<br/><b>Length:</b> 9 hours & 25 minutes<br/><br/><b>DNF at 35%</b><br/><br/>I actually feel kind of bad about this DNF because I think the potential is there. It's obvious every detail of this universe was thought out and I applaud Kat Ross for her attention to detail. But DAMN is it all thrown at you fast!! So much information within the first few chapters!! I was so dang confused—for a WHILE—and even had to go back and re-listen to giant chunks of audio to try and understand what was going on. Hell I'm STILL confused. Apparently the printed version has a glossary of terms, but I don't even think that would have helped if I had it. <br/><br/>Plus, everything is so rushed in the beginning. Not only are we being thrown all this information, but everything happens so fast! When it was revealed that Nazafareen was 17, I was genuinely shocked to learn that so much time had gone by without my even knowing. Things got a little more interesting when Darius showed up, but I suddenly realized that I didn't care enough about these characters to be putting in this much effort to keep up. <br/><br/>Sorry guys, just not for me."

"I liked the story that is playing out. I didint want to put it down. I think it could have used some character development in beginning. I would have like to see more relationship from the main characters family and some other side characters, but it is a smaller book so I understand having to get through parts quickly to get to the main part of the story. Excited to read the next book."
