Book Description for Promise of Mercy:
Deirdre watched as Marisa turned and looked at her. She
was shocked when she saw the child in her enemy’s arms. The Gothowan
woman turned away to shield the child. Deirdre saw the child’s face. The
child was looking right at her. Her expression was more curious than
frightened. Deirdre knew she could take the fugitive without touching
the child. She reoriented her aim, and her finger began to tighten.
It is twenty-five years after the events of Price of Vengeance. Deirdre and her sisters have returned to their home planet of Etrusci after completing their training with the Finnian Shock Forces. Their homecoming plans are disrupted when their mother, High Priestess Celinia, and other leaders of the clergy are taken hostage, and their father, Colonel Liam O’Connor, disappears. In their desperate search for their father, they discover that the Rebellion is secretly building weapons that could end civilization as they know it.
Meanwhile, Liam has been befriended by a Rebel war criminal, a woman Deirdre has sworn to kill. Will Deirdre cast herself into the role of judge, jury, and executioner, or will she discover the promise of mercy?

Book Description for Price of Vengeance:
“Liam! What have you done?” Marcus demanded. “You know our teachings on revenge,”
Suddenly, irrationally angry, Liam straightened. “How can you defend him after what he did? To you, to Mom, to my birth parents, to everyone we cared about?”
With a howl of despair and emotional agony, Liam dashed forward, through the shade of his father, blindly running into the sewers.
What is the Price of Vengeance? One could understand why Liam was angry. He was orphaned at the age of two by a group of giant carnivorous insects called the chitin. Adopted by High Councilor Marcus and his wife, Lidia, Liam was raised with their older son, Randolf in New Olympia, the last remaining city on the planet Etrusci. As an adult, Liam becomes a soldier. After being cut off from the city, Liam finds that there is an alien intelligence behind the chitin. To defeat it, he must discover who he is and how to use his powers. Then, Liam discovers that a traitor, responsible for his birth parents’ deaths, had murdered his beloved foster parents. Will the price he has to pay in his quest for vengeance prove to be an even more unbeatable foe?

My review;
Price of Vengeance;
Liam is left alone in the world at only 2 years old. Everyone in his whole family have been attacked and killed by creatures that are like bugs called Chitans. Now he is all alone and wants vengeance. Marcus and his wife have decided to take care of him and he also gains a brother named Randolph.
As he gets older he realizes that he needs to defeat the Chitin's boss in order to get his revenge. He has to find and beat the alien that is working behind the Chitins.
What is he going to do when others he loves are betrayed? I really liked this book and I give it a 4/5. It kept my interest throughout the book. I was given this book for a review. All opinions are my own.
