The story of overlord Kage Razel marks the culmination of the outcast series and Ms Friberg proceeds to do it in fantastic style. If you’ve been following the series then you had already met Lady Eza Alonov, the elf-like Sarronti female working to change the ways of her society and bring about change who traded herself for her nephews freedom from overlord Kage. If you have not been following the series I suggest you get the other books and read them in order as it will make following through not only more exciting but also less confusing.

Now it had subtly been made apparent that there was a spark between Kage and Eza in the books leading up to now and in book six, the spark comes to a rip roaring blaze. This book is thrilling and fast paced from beginning to end with espionage, battles, political coups (spoiler hint) and a surprising new start that will have all the fans cheering once you reach the end. When Torak Payne, Kage’s second-in-command is almost dead at the end of book 5 from Eza’s bold gamble to eliminate her brother General Alonov, the head of the Sarronti military to bring about her wanted revolution on Saronti Prime, it’s revealed that she is way more powerful than Kage originally realized. Now if there is to be peace with the Sarontis it’s clear that an alliance was necessary.

Alliance now in place the two openly explore the alliance of the body, heart and soul possible only to mates as Kage knew quite clearly that the two of them could not deny the mating pull they both felt from the start. Kage Razel the outcast leader that had been a mystery to most thus far(I had been plotting theories by book 3)is revealed to us with roots reaching all the way back to the battle born series and even the previous stand alone releases introducing us to the concept of the war brides and the gruesome Operation Hydra. All this creates a feel of coming full circle which if you’re an avid reader should make you read all the books leading up to this explosively dramatic ending to the series.

I received a complimentary download of this book through NetGalley in exchange for my honest review. All opinions expressed here are completely my own and sincerely given.

Lady Eza seeks out the leader of the Outcasts and proposes a dangerous alliance but gets more than she bargained for when she unexpectedly finds herself negotiation with Overlord Kage Razel who intrigues and attracts her, making her ache for the consuming passion she has only experienced in his arms. There is no doubt that she wants him, but can she trust this mysterious stranger?

The final book in the ‘Outcasts’ series is an exciting adrenaline pumping adventure romance that keeps readers on the edge of their seat. The characters are strong, sexy and easily grab readers’ attention right from the start. The chemistry between Kage and Eza vibrates from the pages with savage intensity and the passion burns hot but the relationship has a bit of an obstacle standing its way… Eza is of the Sarronti and Kage is an Outcasts making it hard for the either to know if they can trust each other.

The story is fast paced with lots happening in both the Sarronti stronghold and in the Outcasts camp, not to mention that there are those Sarronti who will do whatever it takes to run the Outcasts off their planet. There is lots of emotional turbulence and thrilling suspense building throughout the story that keeps readers glued to the pages while surprising twists keeps them on their toes while unique elements including magic, genetics and technology spice up the story and make it a very intriguing and entertaining read.

Eza and Kage find themselves reconciling their past with their present, and balancing establishing a truce and treaty with establishing their own relationship. They need to grow in their relationship, but also need to do what is best for their people. Power continually shifts people the status quo Serronti, the Rebels, and the Outcasts. And we learn more of Kage's long and mysterious past. Past demons and present demons come from all directions.

We see more into the cultures of the multiple castes among the Serronti, and a look into how the cultures of the Serronti of different villages is structured so differently, and can see the prospect of a developing Serronti-Outcast-Human culture might evolve.

Political intrigue is about as alliances are established, broken, shifted, and questioned!

3.75 stars--OVERLORD is the sixth instalment in Cyndi Friberg’s adult, sci-fi OUTCASTS fantasy, romance series. This is the leader of the Outcasts Overlord Kage Razel, and Lady Eza of the Sarronti. OVERLORD can be read as a stand alone but I recommend reading the series in order as there is an ongoing plot throughout.

SOME BACKGROUND: The humanoid aliens known as Rodytes needed a home and settled on two planets they believed were uninhabited. Without any available mates, the male only Rodytes sent teams of Outcasts to kidnap any and all human females in an attempt to repopulate and find mates for their struggling males but procreation came at a price including the need for genetically matched DNA, a mutual metamorphosis, and magical intervention. A test for compatibility is filed and there may be as many as five males matched to a single female DNA. Outcasts were battle born; their mothers were Bilarrian prisoners forced to breed, with their Rodyte captors, in the hopes of restoring magic to the Rodyte people. To complicate matters, the planet they now inhabit hides a secret deep beneath the planet’s surface, a secret that is determined to take back what once belonged.

Told from several third person perspectives including Kage and Eza OVERLORD follows the building relationship between Rodyte Overlord Kage Razel, and Lady Eza of the Sarronti. The Sarronti is a race of elf-like people who live underground, a people who are preparing to go to war with the Outcasts but not before going to war with their own. In exchange for her nephew’s freedom from the Outcast people, Lady Eza offers herself as a prisoner but a prisoner who will find herself falling for the Outcast’s leader. Enter Overlord Kage Razel, and the man with whom Eza will fall in love. What ensues is the building relationship between Kage and Eza, and the potential fall-out as Lady Isolaund of the Sarronti is determined to take control, at all costs.

The relationship between Kage and Eza is one of immediate attraction. Kage knows Eza is his mate and convincing Eza was straightforward and painless but Eza struggles with placing Kage in danger should the Sarroniti declare war with the people on the surface. As Eza moves between the surface and underground, she will discover that not all is well with the world below. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate without the use of over the top,sexually graphic language and text.

There is a large ensemble cast of secondary and supporting characters. The author has chosen to focus much of the story on the Sarronti people, who are about to integrate into the society above ground.

OVERLORD is an infinitely detailed and intricate story that breaks down the social order and hierarchy of the Sarronti people. At times overwhelming, the amount of information disclosed adds to the ongoing world building including the logic and reasoning of a people whose groupings alienate their own people into castes and status. The premise is revealing and engaging; the romance is captivating and seductive.

I find this series addictive. The world of the Outcasts and their abilities makes for a compelling read. Add in the Sarronti and you have an intense suspense filled romance. At times it is very hot but very tastefully written and adds dimension to the story. Seth's hair was a big surprise and the soul bond fits the story so well. The ending left a smile on my face. Highly recommend this book.
