***** 4 Stars ***** 
 Nazafareen lost her younger sister to an evil demon. So when she gets the opportunity to join the Water Dogs, she volunteers to get her revenge. 
 Water Dog's are some of the King's elite soldiers against the evil demons. They train for years until they are bonded with a daeva. These daevas have magical powers, but they are treated like dirt even though they fight for the King. 
 Darius is the daeva that gets paired with Nazafareen. Their bond goes through many ups and downs as they try to work together as a team. The story is filled with adventure and action. There is also a tiny bit of romance. 
 My favorite part of this book is that the reader gets to discover the new world with Nazafareen. One day she's living like a nomad at a small secluded mountain village, and then the next day she is in one of the largest cities full of people and noise. I also loved the deadly missions that the team attempted. I can't wait to read book 2!
