Summary
Everyone has something to fear。
I fear going home。
Over a century ago， I left my homeland and my people。 I’ve never gone back。 I’ve deprived myself of the community for a variety of reasons， both good and bad。 I made the decision， regardless of the consequences， and never looked back。
Now， I don’t have a choice and Raphael is coming along for the ride。 Politics， revelations， mating， and responsibility all point to the inevitable。 I need to make the long trip home。 Back to the place I spent my childhood。 Back to the place where my family died。 Back to the land of my nightmares。
Back to India and the legends it holds。
But I’m not the girl who left decades ago。 I’m one of those legends。
My name is Kaliya Sahni and fear will no longer hold me back。

MaturingI love how you made mating biological and that each mating pair had to work。 I love even more how you can make us feel and understand kaliya so much better in this book。 From the child survivor to the female ruler who finaly make peace with her origins。 I love how you can truly make character evolve not only in-between books books but during them too。 I really like Adhar and Saranya， i also liked

This was amazing！！！ Once I started I literally could not put it down！ I am once again amazed at how KN Banet can pack so much passion， so much information， and so much punch into her books。 You literally feel like you are right there in the book， experiencing everything right along with Kaliya and Raphael！！ Man did I get so choked up near the end！！ Absolutely loved it！

Amazing！This book was so emotional for poor Kailya， and was wonderfully written。 Force to face her past and her enemies， has brought Kailya and Rafe even closer。 With the next being the last， I can't wait to read what Kailya will do to her HEA。 Amazing！This book was so emotional for poor Kailya， and was wonderfully written。 Force to face her past and her enemies， has brought Kailya and Rafe even closer。 With the next being the last， I can't wait to read what Kailya will do to her HEA。 。。。more

I really loved this book and it was very emotionally satisfying for me。 Ms。 Banet is an author that always keeps me on the edge and very entertained。 The meeting of the Nagas and learning more of their culture and the conflicts between them was very satisfying and answered so many questions。 I loved the interactions between them all and learning more of their personalities。 The scenes of resolution between some of them were very well done。 The growth of Naliya and Raphael's relationship was grea I really loved this book and it was very emotionally satisfying for me。 Ms。 Banet is an author that always keeps me on the edge and very entertained。 The meeting of the Nagas and learning more of their culture and the conflicts between them was very satisfying and answered so many questions。 I loved the interactions between them all and learning more of their personalities。 The scenes of resolution between some of them were very well done。 The growth of Naliya and Raphael's relationship was great to see。 The action scenes were great and the discovery of the bad guy was really good。 I loved the ending and wanted that for them。 So sad there will only one more book in this series and looking forward to the last installment。 。。。more

Twists and turns！！！Oh my word。 This was EPIC！ A wonderful continuation of the story， that filled in a lot of history and showed us readers the trials and tribulations the nagas have been through。 From their mates， to past choices， to present concerns。 I absolutely can not wait till the last book。 The lore and history is intense and wonderful。 A must read for anyone following this author。

This book is so amazing - exciting， heart-wrenching， sentimental - all rolled into one。 "Home， bittersweet， home"。 Although the physical action isn't as spread out in this book as in the previous ones， there are plenty of machinations and plots going on to keep you satisfied， so don't get discouraged。 When it "strikes"， it just keeps coming。 And coming。 Then comes again， in a constant barrage of non-stop action。 I had to re-read these sections of the book several times so I could visualize all This book is so amazing - exciting， heart-wrenching， sentimental - all rolled into one。 "Home， bittersweet， home"。 Although the physical action isn't as spread out in this book as in the previous ones， there are plenty of machinations and plots going on to keep you satisfied， so don't get discouraged。 When it "strikes"， it just keeps coming。 And coming。 Then comes again， in a constant barrage of non-stop action。 I had to re-read these sections of the book several times so I could visualize all of the action because there was so much going on， all of it amazing and brave and heart-wrenching。 As this book begins， Kaliya knows that she has to finally return to India and reclaim her heritage as the female leader of the Nagas， now that she has discovered from whom she is reincarnated - her namesake， the original demon serpent， Kaliya 。 There are so few nagas left， but things look promising because there have been several new babies born recently， including a new female naga， now only the second one alive， with whom Kaliya instantly bonds。 Of course Rafael comes along， as her partner， both so she can introduce him to her people and to help her with any "damage control" necessary。 Kaliya hasn't seen any of the elder nagas since she fled her home when she was 14， and she knows that the other adult male nagas are very old and still very resistant to the idea of her as their female leader since the "purge" occurred and so many nagas murdered - the event which led Kaliya to become the Tribune assassin she is today。 Kaliya knows that she also has to face the wrath of the raksashas for killing not only their leader， but also his wife and sons who later came to avenge his death， and let's not forget her search for the mysterious "sponsor" who bankrolled this centuries long quest to kill all the nagas and who wanted to kill Kaliya personally， instead of allowing Mehar （the raksasha King from Reborn） or the treasonous witch Devika to kill her themselves。 In the previous books， I didn't really like Adhar， the 3000 year old male leader of the nagas， who she ran from over a century ago， still burning with the rage to find and kill those responsible for the deaths of her family， and almost the entire naga race。 Not to mention Nakul， Kaliya's uncle who was the worst serial killer ever known in the supernatural world。 Kaliyah both resents and is relieved that Nakul is given respite from execution because there are so few nagas， and this inner conflict is just one of the mental and emotional challenges she faces with her return to India。 However， this book shows us different sides of these two men， which I really enjoyed。 As we all know， Kaliya is used to dealing with conflicts through physical fights， so navigating through the machinations of the elder nagas， trying to figure out who is her supporter and who wants to get rid of her is a new threat about which she has to tread carefully。 She can't use her assassin skills to solve these hurdles。 I don't like to "spill the tea" in my reviews， so I won't go futher into the story。 Suffice it to say that I truly enjoyed seeing the softer side of Kaliya - the side that has figured out that every conflict doesn't have to end in a physical fight （although that bites her in the butt）。 The ending is Unbelievable - I didn't see ANY of it coming。 Sometimes， as a reader， you think you know where a storyline is going - trust me， you don't with this book。 I read it in one sitting， staying up late， throwing off my sleep pattern - and it was so worth it！ Now I can't wait for the final Kaliya ending in the last book！ 。。。more

This is definitely my favorite book in this series！ We are in the fifth book of Kaliya Sahni's series， and this is definitely my favorite one to date。 So much happens in this book！ We get to go to India， and get tons of background on the nagas， we meet several new characters who are all a little colorful in their own ways， and we get lots of Rafael in this book。 Kaliya & Raphaels relationship is growing and maturing beautifully， which I love。 We also finally find out who was behind her family's This is definitely my favorite book in this series！ We are in the fifth book of Kaliya Sahni's series， and this is definitely my favorite one to date。 So much happens in this book！ We get to go to India， and get tons of background on the nagas， we meet several new characters who are all a little colorful in their own ways， and we get lots of Rafael in this book。 Kaliya & Raphaels relationship is growing and maturing beautifully， which I love。 We also finally find out who was behind her family's deaths！ I'll repeat， so much happens in this book！ We've only got one book left until this series is complete， so I'll be impatiently waiting for it。 I know I've said it before but it bears repeating。 If you haven't started reading this series yet， or any of Kristen's other amazing series in the Tribunal Archives universe， then you are definitely missing out on some fantastic stories。 I voluntarily reviewed an advanced readers copy （ARC） of this book。 。。。more

Another fabulous book from KN Banet！A roller-coaster of emotions， this book was another excellent chapter of the Tribunal Archives。 Kaliya may be a badass， but she is still so relatable on a personal level， and Raphael continues to be her perfect mate。 I can’t wait for the next book。 I hate that it’s the end of her story。

Woah， and now for something。。。。 just a little different？This was pretty epic。 I was so excited to go to India and explore a little bit more of Kaliya's history and past。 It felt like a pivot to the usual sides of Kaliya。 The action was a little slower， but the tensions stayed high and were a little more political with all the moving around and plotting。 This is probably the first time I got real mad at Kaliya for being so avoidant though as this book is set 5 months after the previous and Kaliya Woah， and now for something。。。。 just a little different？This was pretty epic。 I was so excited to go to India and explore a little bit more of Kaliya's history and past。 It felt like a pivot to the usual sides of Kaliya。 The action was a little slower， but the tensions stayed high and were a little more political with all the moving around and plotting。 This is probably the first time I got real mad at Kaliya for being so avoidant though as this book is set 5 months after the previous and Kaliya and Raph felt a touch rocky， emotionally speaking。 But I also get it， if they had hashed out their dramas off to stag left between books we would have missed all that yummy emotional goodness that usually happens。 I still feel like they have a growing journey to go， but they do have one book left and I have so many questions left！！ I really enjoy the way Kaliya thinks， she always nuts out her own brain and comes to these moments of realization。 Just think what a therapist could do :P But more seriously I really enjoy how there doesn't feel like wasted speech or thought in these books， everything relates to something。 everything moves the story along and there isn't any waffle thrown in for padding and it all illuminates something interesting about the characters and such。 It was so interesting to see so many new characters and what more important is that they all felt like distinct people and didn't blend into one。 ok， maybe one or two of the Naga that didn't talk much blended together but all the wives were interesting。 Have to say， I did feel the feelings in this book and I had some tears。 which mind you isn't a spoiler because I equally cry at happy and sad moments。 I really enjoyed the chats with Sorcha and about her， went a long way in soothing my ruffled feathers from the last book， I don't know if that was there because it was there or it was aimed at all of us bend outta shape readers hahaha but I did appreciate the moments of reflection。 I'm going to be sad to see Kaliya and Raph go， I can't believe the next book is the final one！ 。。。more

There will be tears。 As the second last book in Kaliya’s story， this is everything you would expect and more。 Well crafted， beautifully written， Raphael and Kaliya’s journey to India is a tale of so much more than a homecoming and reconciling the hurts of a broken girl。 There are twists and plots that you just don’t see coming， and some very intense character developments。 I ended the book with tears in my eyes， I just couldn’t tell if they were sad or victorious tears， maybe a bit of both。 Cann There will be tears。 As the second last book in Kaliya’s story， this is everything you would expect and more。 Well crafted， beautifully written， Raphael and Kaliya’s journey to India is a tale of so much more than a homecoming and reconciling the hurts of a broken girl。 There are twists and plots that you just don’t see coming， and some very intense character developments。 I ended the book with tears in my eyes， I just couldn’t tell if they were sad or victorious tears， maybe a bit of both。 Cannot wait to see how this story ends。 。。。more

I received an ARC of this book。Holy cow！！ It took my a bit to warm up to Kaliya， but this book is why she is now one of my favorite characters。 I loved seeing her come into her own and finally be seen and accepted for herself。 The secondary characters were very well fleshed out， and the plot was fast paced and well thought out。 I cannot wait for the final book in this series！！

I received an ARC of this book。 WOW！！！ What a ride， I think this book is the best one yet in Kaliya’s series。 I could not put it down。 It was fun to read， a lot of excitement， character growth， some tears。 This was everything I was hoping for and more from Kaliya’s return to her homeland。 I am very much looking forward to the final book in her story！
