Relation Supposing Books The Fire King (Dirk & Steele #9)
Long ago, shape-shifters were plentiful, soaring through the sky as crows, racing across African veldts as cheetahs, raging furious as dragons atop the Himalayas. Like gods, they reigned supreme. But even gods have laws, and those laws, when broken, destroy.Zoufalství. Epätoivo. Asa. Three words in three very different languages, and yet Soria understands. Like all members of Dirk & Steele, she has a gift, and hers is communication: That was why she was chosen to address the stranger. Strong as a lion, quick as a serpent, Karr is his name, and in his day he was King. But he is a son of strife; a creature of tragedy. As fire consumed all he loved, so an icy sleep has been his atonement. Now against his will, he has awoken.Zoufalství. Epätoivo. Asa. In English, the word is despair. But Soria knows the words for love.

I was surprised that I enjoyed this more than I expected. Soria is a member of Dirk & Steele, a detective agency that employs paranormal creatures of all kinds, utilizing their talents and hiding them from the world in plain sight. Soria's talent is the ability to understand any language, and when a mysterious shapechanger is found alive in a tomb sealed for thousands of years, she is called to help translate his unknown language. But there are others who want the creature dead, and Soria isReally touched by the heroine in this book. She has a physical disability she is still coming to terms with when the head of Dirk & Steele (a black ops type of agency for the paranormal), calls her in to aid on a special case. The last thing Soria wants to do is rejoin D & S, but I suspect she has a hard time saying no when her gift is in need. (Like a universal translator, she can instantly learn any language and communicate.) Dirk & Steel has brought in a shifter- an ancient
This is the second Dirk and Steele novel I've read after the newest book, In the Dark of Dreams (yes I did things out of order). Liu doesn't write easy stories, and by that I mean her books more often then not will have both the hero and heroine face tremendous odds. Odds that most people would find unimaginable; The Fire King is no different. Karr faces the fact that he wakes up thousands of years after he thought he had died, in a world that is in stark contrast to what he knew, but still
Because of its various animalistic and X-Men spin off characters The Fire King really captured my interest and in the end surprised me. The beginning was rather slow which is part of the reason it did not get the fifth star. It took me a while to get to a part that I could really sink my teeth into and it seemed as though the characters were not having very much of a connection till around the last half of the book. Character growth was fairly good for the most part I think pretty much every
I haven't been in the mood for romance lately, or at least, not the genre version, but I wanted something different as a break from The Curse of the Mistwraith and this is the one that caught my eye.I've been reading Marjorie M. Liu's Dirk and Steele series from the beginning, but I was starting to lose track of what had gone before and who was who, so I didn't immediately buy this one when it came out. Then I discovered that it, and all the previous books, were finally available as ebooks. That
A 3000-year-old, hunky shifter and a special woman wounded physically and emotionally make for an engrossing read. "The Fire King" is Marjorie M. Liu's latest in her 'Dirk & Steele' series and I loved it. Each of her books, at least those in this series, dig down behind the differences in her characters whether they're shifter or human and draw on the feelings and emotions that are present in each of them. Soria is a human with something extra--the ability to understand and speak any
Marjorie M. Liu has penned another gripping novel of extraordinary characters with a thrilling plot that will have the reader entrenched within the danger and the heart-wrenching emotions. Karr is noble, fierce and protective of all he considers his, but an old war between his kind has left him distrustful and angry. Soria is a woman left feeling unwhole and shies away from most human contact. Their battered hearts will touch the heart of the reader and forever leave their mark as these two
