Title: The Scythian Trials
Author: Elizabeth Isaacs
Genres: Young Adult, Fantasy
Nya Thalestris is the brightest Scythian of her generation. Strong, capable, ruthless, she is sure to earn a spot in the Trials, a time-honored mating ritual responsible for the evolution of her species.
Abducted by their sworn enemy, the Drahzda, Nya is forever altered and spirals out of control. The Society sends in Jax Nickius. Infamous psychologist and one of the most brutal warriors of their kind, he discovers triggers planted in Nya’s mind. As Nya solidifies her spot in the Trials, Jax develops a plan to help—while pursuing her as a mate. But, Nya’s attraction to Jax is at war with her instinct to never let anyone get too close.
During the Trials, Nya’s repressed memories surface, revealing a new enemy—one from inside the consulate walls—and a traitorous alliance on the horizon that could irrevocably change the course of history.
Since before the Bronze Age, the Society has managed to safeguard humanity from itself … until now.

My Review: I have to say that this publisher is finding some amazing stories to publish and bring us! And I am so happy to be reading them! This one is another great story that I could not put down. This story is full of Amazonians but set in the modern age. The society was something fresh that I haven't read about before and the setting was so breathtaking. The story had a great flow and I am so excited that I have a print copy of this one. I really love how the women take the front stage of the story and the men have to win them over. This was such a thrilling and suspenseful story!
