Book Description

November 3, 2009

In a universe where assassins make the law, everyone lives in fear—except for Syn. Born of an illicit scandal that once rocked a dynasty, he always knew how to survive on the bloodthirsty streets. But that was then, and the future is now…

Syn was raised as a tech-thief until his livelihood uncovered a truth that could end his life. He tried to destroy the evidence, and has been on the run ever since. Now trained as an assassin, he allows no one to threaten him. Ever. He is the darkness that swallows his enemies whole.

Shahara Dagan is the best bounty hunter in the universe. When Syn comes back on the radar, she’s the only one who can bring him to justice. There’s only one problem: Syn is a close family friend who’s helped out the Dagans countless times. But if she saves him, both of their lives will be on the line. Is Syn’s protection worth the risk? The only hope Shahara has is to find the evidence he buried long ago. Now it’s kill or be killed—and they, the predators, have just become the hunted…

Born of Fire is the second book in bestselling author Sherrilyn Kenyon's League series.

5.0 out of 5 stars Gotta love Syn April 16, 2010
Format:Mass Market Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I love Sherrilyn's novels, this was no exception. I liked all the born of.. books. Born of night characters are in this book as well. This is Syn and Shahara's novel. Syn has several past tragedies that he tries to ignore and drown in alcohol. Shahara is a bounty hunter that is trying to make money for her families debt. This takes place in the Ichidian Universe. There are several different planets, species and government systems. One of the systems is after Syn for damaging political information he acquired as a child. Syn has been running his whole life from one thing or another, but he is still a good man working with Nykyrian helping people. Shahara takes on Syn's bounty contract. Trouble ensues.. action, sparks, romance and a sturdy plot. I love Syn, i think he is funny as hell. I reccomend this novel!

5.0 out of 5 stars super romantic fantasy November 10, 2009
Format:Mass Market Paperback
With the deaths of their parents, as the oldest Sharara "Shay" Dagan takes responsibility for her two younger sisters and brother. She has fed them and put roof over their heads by being a free-tracer bounty hunter. However, with bills still to pay and her sibling Tessa hospitalized, she needs to make money fast or the government will refuse medical treatment. She accepts a contact to bring in accused rapist killer C.I. Syn, a friend of her sister Caillen. They know each other and he has been kind to her family, but a job brings in needed cash.

Shay pursues Syn as only she can. He is on the lam struggling with the betrayal by his wife and his son and knows his pursuer is a legend in bringing in criminals. However, when Shay catches up to Syn, she fears her attraction to him may be coloring her belief he is innocent; but she prays she is right because she is taking a chance that could harm her sister.

The second Ichidian Universe League futuristic fantasy romance (see Born of Night) focuses on two people who know each other, but his past has made him a semi-loner as expected of an assassin while she remains responsible for her siblings. Fans will enjoy this rewriting of an e-book as this is the ultimate cat and mouse gender war between a take no prisoners tracer and an assassin felon as only Sherrilyn Kenyon can describe.

1.0 out of 5 stars Boring.... November 11, 2009
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Let me start by saying I love SK's Dark Hunter series and have read almost all of her books. I was excited about this new series, but it has been ho-hum to say the least. Book one had a lot more action and kept my interest - I wish I could say the same about book 2. The beginning started out interesting enough with plenty of action, but the middle of the book drags on and on and on. I have put it down and picked it up multiple times hoping it will get better, but it doesn't - at least for me, it did not. While I realize this is a sci-fi/futuristic setting, I can't get past the flying robot named "Vic" whom Syn created when he was a kid. The way SK describes it reminds me of the flying metal owl in the movie Clash of the Titans (early 80's)... was this one of SK's early or first series that wasn't published until now? For some reason, I get that impression or maybe I read it in a blog. None-the-less, the writing seems "juvenile" for lack of better description. Anyway, I can't recommend this book, sorry. I will probably pick up the 3rd book in December just to finish the series - I hope it is a better read then book 2.

how are the born series by sherrilyn connected?
The character for "Born of Ice", Devyn Kell, is Syn and Shahara's son who goes on to be a doctor in the League before eventually leaving the corruption. The story also involves his friendship with Adron who is Kiara and Nykyrian's son. So, in other words they are very much connected,... Read more
