Because with magic in the air, anyone could be an enemy and nothing may be as it seems Grace White is the paranormal pseudonym of romance writer, L A Cotton. She resides in the UK with her family, and lives for binge watching series on her Firestick, losing herself in a good book, and reliving her younger days through trashy teenage movies Posted by Amber Garcia at Medusa escaped to Earth with members of the royal family only to be harassed by Maximus. Black Bolt was torn between his love of family and his duty to respect the Genetic Council, and it was only when the Council was revealed to be using his son in a plot against him that he finally turned against the Council.

With that, he gave up the crown as king of the Inhumans. For a while, they lived away from Attilan, but returned in times of need. The once-secret existence of the race has come to light among the general public as the Inhumans interact more often with many of Earth's superheroes —including the Fantastic Four , the Avengers , and the X-Men —whom they have aided against threats such as Doctor Doom , [30] Ultron 7 , [28] [31] Magneto , and Apocalypse.

Inhuman society changed radically when Ronan the Accuser sought to use the Inhumans as an army to disrupt the Shi'ar control of the Kree after their defeat in the Kree-Shi'ar War. Appearing over the city of Attilan, Ronan seized control in a surprise attack and forced the Inhumans and their king, Black Bolt, to obey, or he would destroy their only home and everyone in it. During their time in forced servitude, Ronan revealed that the Inhumans had always been intended as weapons in service to the Kree. To this end, much of the genetic attributes that were encoded in them during the original experiments were meant to give them the abilities and appearances of various alien races, the idea being that these Inhuman slaves could be used to infiltrate alien worlds and races to conduct espionage or assassinations to weaken potential conquests.

Ronan used the Inhumans to launch attacks on ships and bases, disrupt a treaty between the Shi'ar and Spartax, and manipulate Black Bolt to assassinate Empress Lilandra. Eventually, Black Bolt sought to free his people by challenging Ronan to a personal battle. If Ronan won, the Inhumans would continue to serve him. If the king won, the Inhumans would go free. After a terrible battle, Black Bolt won and Ronan, demonstrating that the Kree still had honor, kept his word and left the Inhumans.

All was not over, as the Inhumans were not willing to just follow Black Bolt back to Earth. Pressure had been building in the closed society of Attilan since open contact with the outside world had been made. During their enslavement by Ronan, the Inhumans had wished for their freedom, but had developed a sense of pride in their power and a belief in their own destiny.

They no longer believed that Black Bolt or the Royal Family was fit to lead them in the new life they wanted, and they exiled the Royal Family from Attilan. After suffering bigotry while living in the Baxter Building with the Fantastic Four and turning down political asylum from Latveria by Dr.

Doom, the royal family returned to Attilan, which was located on the Blue Area of the Moon. In the events of Son of M , Quicksilver stole the Terrigen Crystals in an attempt to regain his powers and cure the de-powered mutants from M-Day. The theft led to a conflict on Genosha between the re-powered mutants whose powers came back as too powerful for their own good causing their eventual surrender , the Inhumans, and the U. Office of National Emergency. The conflict ended with the O. Although the Inhumans do manage to recover the crystals, the episode ends with Maximus again taking control of Attilan.

Both the sudden rift between Medusa and Black Bolt apparent in Silent War and Black Bolt's later defeat at the hands of Hulk in World War Hulk could be attributed to this development, for it is uncertain just when Black Bolt might have been replaced by his Skrull duplicate. Written by Heroes writer Joe Pokaski , this story digs into how the Inhuman Royal Family deals with the news that the Black Bolt had been replaced by a Skrull imposter. With some help from the Kree, they rescue Black Bolt and return to Attilan.

Finally deciding they will no longer be used and abused by other races, the Inhumans take drastic action to ensure their survival as a race. To that end, they activate a series of long dormant machines beneath the city of Attilan, transforming it into a gigantic starship, powered by Black Bolt's voice. Breaking free from its resting place on the Moon, Attilan enters hyperspace and tracks down the remnants of the Skrull Armada, completely eradicating it. As Attilan enters Shi'ar space, it attracts the attention of three Shi'ar warships, who order them to depart or they will open fire.

They too are destroyed without mercy. Attilan reaches the planet Hala, destroying the protective shield that guards their weakened empire and enter the planet itself. The Royal Family confronts Ronan the Accuser , who is serving as king. He admitted he felt that he was just holding the spot of ruler for their true king, Black Bolt like the Celestials, the Kree experimented on the humans to create the perfect weapons and the Inhumans were created, but Black Bolt declined the seat of king, then.

The Inhuman Royal Family struggles to maintain their grip on the Kree empire. The Alpha Primitives revolt, Maximus tries to take the throne, the Kree aristocracy revolts rise up, which erodes the Inhuman's rule. These new Inhumans reveal that the Kree experimented on other interstellar races, aside from humans, and used methods other than the Terrigen Mists. The resulting Universal Inhumans have banded together and traveled to Earth in search of Black Bolt, who they believe will lead their collective people in an eventual takeover of Earth.

Meanwhile, the resurrected Supreme Intelligence orders the Kree to launch an attack to destroy the Earth and the Inhumans in a bid to prevent the genetic prophecy from occurring. They are repelled with the Inhumans in pursuit.

Silver Moon: The Complete Saga

During the events of Infinity , Thanos and his forces attack Attilan and offer to spare the city in exchange for a tribute: Black Bolt surmises that the offering is a ruse to hide the fact that Thanos actually desires the death of Thane, a half-Inhuman youth he had fathered years earlier. The search for Thane eventually reveals that secret Inhuman tribes have existed on Earth for years and mated with its population, producing a number of seemingly-normal humans who possess dormant Inhuman genes.

During the Inhumanity storyline, Karnak was left mentally scarred by said events and begun destroying the upper west side of Manhattan, babbling and sobbing uncontrollably.

He was taken into custody by the Avengers. In Stark Tower , Karnak explained to the Avengers what happened during their fight with Thanos and what it meant for the Inhumans. When he was questioning himself for the reason for Black Bolt to spread the Terrigen Mists and what would happen next, Karnak had an epiphany in which he finally saw "the fault in all things". He told Medusa who was present during his interrogation that she needed to forget everything she thought she knew, ignore the instincts, and forget the past.

Otherwise, all would be lost. Following this revelation in which he stated it was too late for him to unlearn a lifetime of error, Karnak shattered the window from his containment cell and jumped out of the Stark Tower killing himself. It was later revealed that there is another Inhuman city called Orollan which is located somewhere in Greenland.

The Inhuman Lash is from Orollan as he plans to recruit the Inhuman descendants to work for him. Attilan is rebuilt from its remains on the Hudson River, in a city called New Attilan, serving as an independent nation welcoming all Inhumans and open to any who wish to visit. Crystal takes a team of Inhumans on the transport vessel called the R. In Australia she finds a skinhead Inhuman with skin-changing powers and a healer named Panacea.

Flint, unaware he is depowered, nearly kills him with a rock attack, which traumatizes Flint. Upon their return to Attilan, Panacea empathizes with Gorgon's suffering and heals his paralysis as practice before she tries her abilities on his comatose son. While Michelle emerged as a red-skinned beast with wings and a tail, Ulysses emerged unchanged but with the ability of precognition. When Ulysses projects his latest vision that shows a rampaging Hulk standing over the corpses of the superheroes, this causes the younger Inhumans present to cry.

Beast works with Iso to find a way to counter the Terrigen Cloud as Medusa tells the Inhuman Royal Family to be prepared just in case the X-Men take action against them as the Terrigen Cloud becomes saturated. Beast heads back to Attilan to speak to the Royal Family only for Emma Frost to go ahead with the attack. Medusa abdicates the throne and gives all leadership duties to Iso, knowing that her people won't understand why she destroyed the remaining Terrigen Cloud.

Medusa banishes Maximus into an inter-dimensional prison, then with Crystal, Black Bolt, Flint, Gorgon, and Captain Swain are guided by Noh-Varr to the former Kree throne-world of Hala to discover the origins of Terrigen and offer a future to their doomed people.

During the trip they learn Maximus and Black Bolt switch bodies, so Black Bolt was actually banished [71]. To further complicate matters, Medusa runs her hand through her powerful hair only to pull a large clump out with it, forcing her to announce to her crew that she is dying. She did what she had to in order to save the Mutant race, but in doing so she had doomed the future of her people.

Because Medusa had pressed the button, that act had the consequence of gradually draining the life energies from her. Akin to dying of a broken heart, Medusa had acted to end a cultural heritage that had lasted millennia and her body has essentially chosen to end with it. Her only hope now is to find the secrets of the Terrigen and bring a new source of it back to their people, so she too can be revitalized.

When Medusa takes the Primagen, it restores her hair and health while also causing a backlash in the attacking Progenitor to destroy the approaching Progenitors causing the Ordinator-Class Progenitors that saw the attack from the World Farm to spare Earth from their invasion. Following their return from the Progenitors' World Farm, members of the former Inhuman Royal Family and their allies settled on the Moon, where Marvel Boy created by using Kree technology from his native universe, a pocket atmosphere that surrounds the Leibnitz crater which was dubbed the Gray Area of the Moon.

Inside the crater, Flint used both Moon rock and his own body crystal to built New Arctilan the Inhumans' new base. This ultimatum causes the deaths of thousands of Inhumans with the word "Join or Die" carved into their bodies which forced Black Bolt to call together the four Queens of the Universal Inhuman tribes to respond to this threat.

However, the meeting goes far from as planned, as an Inhuman executioner named Vox, a Super-Inhuman created by the Kree, begins his bloody rampage across the place. When Black Bolt and his Royal Family reached the meeting place, they discover the bodies of Oola Udonta, Aladi Ko Eke, Onomi Whitemane and Goddess Ovoe, with the same three words written in their blood on a banner hanging about their corpses and eventually realized that they fell in to a trap as one of the dead Inhumans was wired with an explosive.

While most of Black Bolt's group made it out alive, thanks to Lockjaw, Triton was not so lucky and was killed in the explosion. When I first started reading this book, it dragged me in from the very beginning and I couldn't put it down, I even had dreams about it lol. I love the connections the characters have with one another, Chela and Faris' love is one that we all dream of, they are perfect for each other I received a copy of this book, in exchange of an honest review and OMG let me tell you, KaSonndra has done it again.

Well done KaSonndra, as always your work is amazing and I can't wait for the next book to come out.

Jan 21, Michelle Hunter rated it it was amazing. Kasonndra has done it again. The second installment of Lost Immortals totally rocked my world filled with love,romance, suspense and paranormal craziness!! Once again I am capitaved by the heroine Chela and her love for Faris and the people she has been destined to protect. The bond that exist between her and Faris is like no other and has been intensified in the second book with a plethora of episodes that will suck you in. Seth raises his , well not so ugly, evil head but is strategically pos Kasonndra has done it again.

Seth raises his , well not so ugly, evil head but is strategically positioned to be chela's protector. How Kassondra made me slightly feel for Seth is beyond me. There was an appreciation for his character that surfaced in this book. Powerful writing is the culprit I should say. Love it love it love it!!! Thanks again to Kassondra for creating this world for all of us to enjoy.

Jan 31, Cheryl rated it it was amazing. KaSonndra Leigh is just an amazing talented writer!! This book was just as good as When Copper Suns fall and it picks right up where the first one left off!! I loved the fact that it had just as much action and drama as the first book and it too leaves me wanting to read the next wonderful book in this series!! The descriptions and feelings of the characters play into this book so much that i could just picture it all happening in my head as i read.

I read this book pretty much straight thru in KaSonndra Leigh is just an amazing talented writer!! I read this book pretty much straight thru in one setting I look forward to the rest of this tale to see what happens with Chela and Faris and hopefully read Seth and Asa's Story! Thank you KaSonndra for a wonderful book!! Jan 15, Amanda mandy rated it really liked it Recommended to Amanda mandy by: I need book 3!! KaSonndra Leigh has me so sucked into this world. It's such a ride from beginning to end.

Chela is at a loss with her seperation from Faris. Her friends are worried about her especially since having Micah back home doesn't seem to help. On a mission to rid himself of the beast and to find his sister, Asa, Faris sets off and finds himself imprisoned. Knowing something is wrong Chela, along with Desi and Jalen go in search of him and Tobie. Of course Chela crosses paths with Seth in I need book 3!! Of course Chela crosses paths with Seth in all his brooding Spike-like darkness. We meet new characters linked to the past. We learn what happened with Seth, Asa, and Faris when they were younger.

What is Kobo Super Points?

But there is so much still to learn! Ahhhhhhh I seriously need book 3. We need more Faris and Seth! Jan 18, Marsha Berg rated it it was amazing. I have read this book as a beta reader, so I got it when there were "mistakes" still in the book! I found nothing in this book that would allow me to walk away from it. The first book perfectly eased into this one! The trials of Chela and Feris and Seth continued and, in fact, grew worse! Despite the problems in the first book, the three found that some things were beyond their control, and they must rely on people they'd rather not have to be around at all.

The story was well-written and exciting I have read this book as a beta reader, so I got it when there were "mistakes" still in the book! The story was well-written and exciting! This was a perfect continuation of a story that is still not done! I can barely wait for the next one! Great book, KaSonndra Leigh!!!!! Jan 20, Elaine rated it it was amazing. Feb 11, Kathy Harrington rated it it was amazing Shelves: Holy crap this book was awesome!!!

Again lots of action. Now, the bad part???? I have to wait for book Apr 22, Titan rated it really liked it Shelves: Silver Moons, oh Silver Moons. Chela Prizeon is one of my favorite heroines in a pool of otherwise dead-weight protagonists. Her Silver Moons, oh Silver Moons. Her life has come crashing down around her in the past few weeks and she flounders in aftermath before deciding her beacon, her calling, lies in the rescue of her trapped Protector, Faris Indrail.

He's being held in the Ice Prisons overseen by the Silver Witch, Olivia, whose fury hell couldn't wish to match. Her motives may be simple, but her execution is simply not to be reckoned with. I sure as sunshine wouldn't touch a broad who threatened that "By the time I'm done with you, there won't be any other name you'll call except mine.

That's how long you'll beg for mercy. Mothball odors fill the air, stinging my nostrils. A white cat slinks into the room, strolling along as though it owns the place. It glides toward Olivia and rubs against her legs. Outside the house, the wind howls and blends in with the screams of the people held in the prisons scattered across the land.

The sound disturbs me and brings up thoughts of my mother and sister. How does someone live this way? ARC, page 24 She's not the only villain we love to hate. While Faris is fighting to keep his sanity while suffering the brutal, ongoing torture of Olivia the Silver Witch, Chela is fighting her way to him, all alone. That is, until our favorite bad guy arrives on the scene to--of all things--offer his help. I don't know how to exactly articulate my feelings about Seth Alton.

Whether he really is the enemy or just a bad boy to stick on as the third leg in a triangular romance, I can never tell. The lines between them are blurred so far in Silver Moons that I get nervous and, somehow, though I'm loath to admit such a thing Aside from that, though, his overall character, "[a] hybrid. A pet to bring up in Bernael's image. Someone who has both good and evil inside him. Dangerous yet beautiful," calls to my love of conflicted malevolent things.

He is, literally and figuratively I think , the part of Chela that I would totally justify in a love triangle. Because when it's real, when you're really torn between two halves of yourself, it should be that way--deciding to accept one side of yourself that you cannot live with while making peace with the fact that you truly love the other side of yourself but will never be enough.

Anyhow, while character focus is my favorite segment of this book, and this review, there are other elements that both were and weren't as impressive. An aspect of the writing is almost ethereal sometimes and can be seductive or frightening--very versatile, fitting the mercurial security of the dystpoian layout rife with rebel outcasts, strictly controlled government cities, threats from all sides that creep behind thin veils of a perceived utopia. The tone, while a bit darker than When Copper Suns Fall , followed appropriate contours and, usually, served to enhance each scene, each emotion, each turn of the plot.

What felt off was the scattered, haphazard erraticism of the characters' thought processes. I want to describe it as an over-reasoning for lack of better descriptor. Mostly when characters have to do something they don't want to. It was a bit overkill to see things go through their heads and then have them justify it out loud as well. Let actions speak, Leigh! Also, yes, it has been a while since I read Copper Suns, so I appreciated imbedded reminders of the past into the narrative, but in the beginning there are so many, and so frequently, that I lost count.

I understand that it could be relative to Chela's emotional ties to what happened, but it didn't feel that way as I read phrases like "He glared at me just as he did back in Oceania" not a real quote, just as example five freakin' timessss. And God Almighty, can we get some specificity please! We get all these whacky terms for some things--schorl, Epiclesium, sedwig; there's a whole glossary at the start of the book to describe more than 20 terms--and yet some things get thrown to the wayside. Like, "octopus weapon," Seth's weapon of choice. My last complaint, and the thing that knocked this down from a full 4 stars It was very much a victim of second-book-in-a-series syndrome in that over half the book was comprised of discoveries of the past or literal static by that, I mean, yes, there was action, as is people interacting, but there was no progression.

Granted, it makes total sense why Faris' sections would be stilted in terms of progression, but that doesn't change the fact of the matter. Not that I didn't enjoy it, either. So, yeah, it's a transition novel, and yeah, the kinks could be worked out of a few wrinkles in the otherwise fabulous worldbuilding, and yeah, blah blah blah, but you know what?

I enjoyed every single second of this book, and I am honored that I was selected to receive an advanced reader copy. With its release tomorrow, I hope more if not just as many people love it as Copper Suns because it's worth every bit of support it gets and more. I know it'll be just as enticing as the past two have been. The rage is like a tidal wave: You stand there and watch the waters rise, even though you know you'll die when it falls. What will you do when the dark power of the tidal wave calls to you?

Jan 06, Sarah Kalaitzidis rated it really liked it Shelves: It had action, some twists and turns and I started to like a person I never thought I would like. Damn Seth for having a good side with his bad boy attitude! The author knows how to write her plots. While Chela is in search for Faris, things happen which cause her to split up with her friends.

When she gets into trouble, she's saved unexpectedly by Seth. Seth actually saving someone! You learn more about his sister Asa and even more about Seth. The past explains also how the three of them first get their curses. What makes this book even more interesting is the fact that now people with angel in them, which are being captured and drained of their blood. This makes it a lot worse for our gang and hoping everyone turns out find in the end is what you hope for till the very end of this book.

Chela is just as strong as ever. She never backs down from a fight, and she always stands up for herself and what she believes in. What surprises me most is her reaction towards Seth. He has a bad boy attitude, willing to hurt people without caring. This book shows his his more intimate moments and other emotions. Chela is the one that brings this positivity from him. What I would give to be with a guy like him and calm his damage heart.

Faris spent most of his time in this book locked up. His strength comes from wanting to reunite with Chela, and I think this is romantic. If anything, I just want to go up to him in his beast form and lay against him petting him. The first one had so much going on it was hard to grasp everything I needed to know, and there were so many secrets revealed it took a lot to keep up.

But I love the mix of genres the author gives us dystopian plus paranormal. I'm jealous I didn't think of it first, and I'm still reeling from everything that's happened. This book was action packed from start to finish! The story continues not too long after the events at the end of the first book, but this time the narration is split between Faris and Chela's points of view. Faris was a mystery to me with a lot of secrets last time around, and I was excited to see things from his perspective and learn more about his background and who he really is.

He has to be strong to endure the torture he's under while Chela is making her way to rescue him. Chela is a strong female lead, which I always admire, and she takes risks to protect the people she loves. Sometimes she will make a decision that I can see leading to disastrous consequences, but she does the best she can. From the beginning to the end of the book, I don't think she had one moment of rest - there was always action involving her. My favorite Chela characteristic is that she always looks for the good in people, and I believe that helps guide her through the most difficult times she has faced.

I really love that about her. There's something about Seth that's really magnetic - the fact that he's a bad boy helps!

In books I read, I can't help but fall for guys like Seth, and I couldn't get enough of him. Every chapter he was in was my favorite. It's really crazy, too, because as much as I love Seth even with the things he's done, I still adore Faris, too. They couldn't be more different, but there are aspects of both of them that are really attractive. I was completely stunned by the ending - I won't give anything away, but I will say I'm anxiously waiting to read book three! I loved this book even more than book one, which I also loved. It's a great series. I really connected with the characters in book one, and even more so in this one.

I think Chela is a really strong person, and love the connection she has with Faris. I am still not sure what to think of Seth, he makes you start to think he isn't all bad, and then he does something to change your mind. It's a back and forth thing for sure. I felt so bad for Faris on some things that happen in this book, but won't b I loved this book even more than book one, which I also loved.

I felt so bad for Faris on some things that happen in this book, but won't be telling you what, as I don't want to spoil anything. I really enjoyed taking the journey with Chela into the Dim cities to try and find Faris. I really liked the memories of the past Faris did, it sure helped me learn so much more about him and Seth,a s well as their sister. It helped me see why Seth is like he is, as well as Faris.
