Serpents of the Night by S.J. Sanders

Lori’s happy ever after in Risa Colony with her mates is challenged Slengral is summoned back to the Aglatha shinara by none other than queen matriarch, Zathexa—who happens to be his mother? With his sister and heir to the shinara dead, Slengrala is commanded to return home not until to fulfil his duty to mate and breed a new queen, but to answer to the charges made against him. It seems like their happy ever after is being put in jeopardy as their family has to return to the Aglatha caverns and into its depths to the shinara itself to solidify the legitimacy of their relationship and face the obstacles in the way of their future.

With the entire court of the noble matriarchs against them and no other options at hand to provide a future ruler for the shinara, will Daskh, Kehtal, Slengral and Lori be able to look forward to a continuing future together?
