Sanctuary is a worthy conclusion to the Raintree trilogy. Mercy and Judah are members of the royal families of two paranormal clans that are sworn enemies. Despite their undeniable attraction to each other, it often appears more likely that murder will ensue. I have rarely encountered two more conflicted lovers. And as if this situation didn't have enough drama, their one-night stand seven years earlier produced a paranormal child prodigy named Eve. It turns out that this name is in itself a portent. When Judah discovers that he is the father of a six-year old girl, it further complicates his master plan. Mercy had hidden the existence of her daughter from him because his clan had a law that all children born of combined Raintree/Ansara bloodlines should be put to death. Daintree: Sanctuary brings all of the main characters from the earlier two books together for an epic showdown at the Raintree homestead - Sanctuary. This book has earth-shattering sex and earth-battering war in almost equal measures. And although I sometimes found Eve just a little too precocious for words, her existence is essential to the resolving of these conflicts. This is a great book but should only be read in the proper sequence.
