Summary
She’s the perfect prey. The perfect instrument for my revenge.
And the only crack in my centuries-old armor.
Arik
For 900 years, I have roamed the earth, a griffin shifter without a clan, an Archai warrior unable to fight the one enemy that matters: my parents’ killer. The only thing I care about? Vengeance. And I’m about to start a war to get it.
Nothing will stand in my way—except a red-haired female whose power could change everything. She’s the weapon I need to devastate the enemy, but in order to use her, I have to keep her alive, on my side....
And away from my heart.
Kat
All my life, I've never really belonged. Adrift, with nothing to tether me in place. Until one night at work when I lock gazes with a pair of smoldering silver eyes that steal my breath, and it feels like finally being seen for the first time. But in the next second he's gone. That same night the silver-eyed man saves me when a monster attacks, but not before the monster’s bite unleashes a deadly power I never knew crouched deep within me.
Now I’m no longer human—and no longer safe.
Except with Arik. He’ll teach me control, train me to fight. But his secrets could kill me as easily as the power I struggle to wield. In the end, I’m forced to choose: fight in a war I don’t understand or escape the male who wants to use me. War might take my body, but even if we win, Arik could tear apart my soul.
This epic new paranormal romance series features a shifter species of mythological creatures, the basis for all human myth—and they bite.

Thrilling start to the series!
I love that Ella does both romantic suspense and paranormal romance so brilliantly that she really does flawlessly draw the reader into her worlds she creates in her books.
This book is full of mythical characters yet revolves around two main characters. Arik sees Kat at the same time he spots his enemy, Maddox. Arik is a Griffin, exiled Archai warrior and he has set his life at finding and destroying Maddox for the death of his parents and for framing him for their deaths.
When that enemy attacks Kat, Arik is there but he finds he doesn’t necessarily need to save her. Yes she’s injured but she’s so much more than the small human woman he thought at first. The bite Maddox gave her activates some deeply hidden paranormal talents which Arik knows will help him get Maddox.
This book is an adventure. One with enemies and foes. Ella has such a great sense for pulling the reader into her vision and has us focused on everything happening with such excitement to know what is coming next.
Any book you can hear in duet you should run to do so. With audio the actors pull you into the story. I lose track of everything else but the audiobook. It really feels like I am there seeing the world and experiencing it as I hear it.
Stella Hunter becomes Kat. Strong willed yet cautious as she finds her place in this new world.
JF Harding plays several key characters in this first book and we get pulled into various points of view. Arik is at times very caring and other times brutally one sited in his request for revenge and Kat takes the brunt of his emotions as they both try to develop Kat’s talents.
This book was an exciting adventure and that ending is definitely a cliffhanger but it so made me want more of this adventure. All I can say is Wow, bring on the next book!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
A fantastic paranormal romance!
Arik is a griffin and very old Archai warrior who was betrayed and is set on revenge and Kat is human woman or is she? Turns out she is an Archai, only the women have different traits. The romance is instant, steamy, at times tragic. Arik can switch from warm and loving to downright cold in the blink of an eye because he only saw her initially as a pawn in a game. One of Ella Sheridan’s gifts is world-building, regardless of what book it is one of the best I have seen any author create. 1. She concentrates on the essential to set the characters and scenes and 2. She doesn’t go haywire with 3-5 pages describing their clothes, houses or what car they drive unless it has a point in the story, she concentrates on the characters’ characteristics and how they interact with the others in the book. Devil’s in the details subtly placed in the story. Next book about Sun and Risk will be on fire for sure. After all, he is a phoenix! Beta/ARC courtesy of publisher in exchange for an honest review. I listened to the audiobook as well and it’s epic with JF Harding and Stella Hunter narrating!

A Suspenseful Paranormal Romance!
This is the first book in the Archai Warriors Series, a Paranormal Romance Series. Arik and Kat's story is complex, steamy, and captivating. The world building is entertaining. The storyline is filled with action, and twists and turns. J.F. Harding and Stella Hunter did a great job with the narration. Looking forward for more in the series!

Fantastic listen!
WOW! I think that says it all. I am not a paranormal listener, but my favorite authors never cease to amaze me how they can win me over with their fantasy stories. I love Ella Sheridan's romantic suspense, and she weaves so much of that into this book, I was completely enthralled. Revenge is the key. Arik is a Griffin shifter without a clan, and his only mission it to take out Maddox, the one who killed his family. Kat, an ordinary woman is bit by a monster, Maddox, which triggers powers she had no idea she had. As part of the first act of his revenge, Arik saves her and our story truly begins. Sheridan mixes mythological shifting into this action packed story. She kept me on edge, wondering who I can trust and who is truly the enemy. Kat is an incredibly strong heroine, and I loved her ability to learn who she is and embrace it. Arik is frustrating at times, getting in his own way and tripping over his anger. It's a great story and beginning to this series! I can't wait for more.
Stella Hunter and JF Harding narrate this book in duet, and it's amazing! Hunter knows how to become her character and she falls right into Kat. Strong, resilient and passion filled, she is fabulous. JF Harding has so many voices in this one, each character specific and fitting their personality perfectly. I love these two together, as they play off each other and compliment each other well. It is a narration you do not want to miss.

Fiery and intense paranormal romance at its best
This book is fantastic! I wasn't sure what to expect when I started but there is such careful and meticulous world building in the first few chapters that you are instantly transported into this shadow realm of ancient shifters whose exist alongside humans. It's a shimmering, sprawling epic from start to finish and if you are a fan of an absorbing paranormal romance then this is the one for you.
You go on such a journey with Arik, the thousand year old exiled Archai warrior betrayed by his people and on a one way path for revenge, and Kat the fragile and beautiful human he rescues only to realise she is a dormant and rare Archai female. Their enemies/Stockholm syndrome to lovers romance is electric, sexy and at times tragic and you really want shake Arik at some points for being so stubborn and stupid. Their passion is intense and Arik can be downright ruthless at times but both change dramatically over the course of the book that it just became unputdownable for me.
My only slight warning to some people is this book (much like most of the authors other books I understand) does deal with some pretty dark issues, mainly violence, abduction and rape of women. Its not what I would say graphic but there is heavy suggestions and descriptions of it so just a flag if you find that difficult going in. Personally it didn't stop me from enjoying this book at all, it provides the context of the evil our main characters are facing and what is at stake.
Like with all good romance books these days you simply HAVE to get yourself the audio copy, why on earth would you deny yourself the absolute joy of two incredible actors performing this story for you. Stella Hunter is my absolute voice actor goddess, her titles have taken over my library, you will just get swept up in her gorgeous voice as she is able to expertly portray the multi-facets of Kat as she develops through this story. You feel every emotion that Kat is going through like you were living it yourself. She is truly remarkable.
JF Harding is one of my new discoveries and instant obsessions for 2022 (thank you K Loraine and Meg Anne) and is such an amazing actor. For a large part of this book it is in Arik or one of the other shifters POVs so he does quite a lot of the first half of the book and setting up the characters that populate this new world we find ourselves in. I could quite happily listen to him all day, his voice is addictive but its his ability to portray the emotions of the characters so astutely that keeps me hooked and coming back for me. True vulnerability, pain, anger, seduction, humour, love - its just intoxicating to listen to. Which is why he is perfect for narrating paranormal stories with multiple characters.
I love that it ends with a hint to the next book, this story was neatly contained and could be read on its own but there is a whole universe in the making here and other characters along the way kept popping up and grabbing my attention. I eagerly await the next one!!This is a thrilling and blinding paranormal romance in a new world which I cannot wait to delve into again. Bring on Book 2!!!
