There is only one way to describe this book...

A bright sun in the sky and her life changed completely: Sureya has been called to be the next Supplicant. Decreed down the generations since ancient time, The Supplicant has been the healer and provider for the lands. Though she accepts her position, Sureya wonders if she can truly live up to the challenge and heartbreak that comes with such power. Kalief is the exalted king of a land in need of the Supplicant. Face to face with the beautiful Sureya, his opinions and thoughts on the woman destined to save his land affects his judgments in ways that challenge sacred Scripture. Will Kalief be able to go against the societal views of who Sureya is and believe in what she can truly be? With the rising of a second sun the annunciation of the Supplicant coming of age is foretold through out the land of Marotiri. With the new Supplicant the promise of peace throughout the land is possible. Depending on who trains and uses the Supplicant dictates the ruling of the land. What happens though when the Supplicant has a mind and heart of her own? Will that bring the peace the land needs closer into reach or send it back to an unrecoverable state? There is only one way to describe this book - AWESOME! Though the words this reviewer wanted to use as adjectives would not be enough, they do express the deep and amazing marvel at the conception and writing of this book. Filled with intense and sexually explicit material, the very astounding plot is woven with such intricate genius, I went back and read it again because I was hooked. This book is great, it is awesome, and I am extremely proud to recommend it to everyone. If you want a story that challenges ideals, beliefs and ancient tradition; this is it. If you want a book with amazing characters and sub-characters; this is it. If you want a book with unadulterated great sexual tension and fulfillment; this is it. This is a recommended read.

terrific innovative erotic romantic fantasy

In the Kingdom Marotiri, the sudden rise of the second sun denotes a Supplicant has arisen too. For King Kalief this is welcome great news, as he believes that this unknown female is the key to defeating the barbarian horde at the gates. The monarch must find the woman and train her to surrender her body and soul to him if Marotiri is to be saved. Others plan to be her lover as they know the man who controls the Supplicant controls incredible power as every orgasm makes her stronger. Sureya the nanny with her blood red hair and milk white skin meets the criteria and is assumed by vying males to be the one. Men fight to the death to dominate and own the Supplicant. However, it is King Kalief whom Sureya is attracted to that she turns towards. They climax together in love and hope that they will have enough power to defeat the evil from within and the barbarians from without who share in common abducting and using the Supplicant. THE SUPPLICANT is a terrific innovative erotic romantic fantasy that spins a tale of love being the ultimate magical weapon. Marotiri is a fascinating world in which everyone knows what the rising of a second sun means and seemingly every male dreams of controlling the savior, the Supplicant. The lead couple is a delightful pairing as the monarch initially seeks the Supplicant to save his people, but once he meets Sureya he needs to protect her. With no clear good and bad boundaries for the most part as everyone including the hero wants to use her, Sureya is more than just the title character, she is the star that motivates the others though some in the audience will be upset with how easily she is seduced (albeit she is the Supplicant). As with MOON SHADOW, sub-genre readers will know this author is a sure Betts to provide a fine thriller. Harriet Klausner
