Silver & Gold (Seth & Raider Book 2) by Katherine Diane

Silver & Gold is the fabulous conclusion to the Seth & Raider fantasy duet. This is an action-packed adventure that doesn't stray from the couple for one second as they fight adversity, adamant that they would rather die than be without each other.


From the blurb:

The revelations about Raider’s past have turned Seth’s simple manhunt into a complicated mess. He’s stepped into a tangled web of arcane mysteries and political machinations. As an experienced Curator for the Arcanum College, he can handle that. What he can’t quite handle is his feelings for Raider. There’s love—gods, he can’t deny that—but Raider’s lies have made a mess of Seth’s heart, his principles—and everything else. Because Raider himself is at the very center of this tangled web.

Raider has been running from his past for ten years. (And what was wrong with that? A strong cup of raaki, a bit of music, a gorgeously scowling Curator—what more could anyone want?) The past, however, has finally caught up with him. And if Raider wants to keep his gorgeously scowling Curator alive and well, he’s going to have to face those old nightmares—because he and Seth need each other.

Only together can they navigate the treacherous court of Empress Zarina. Only together can they survive a dangerous new mission that will take them deep into the unknown reaches of the Sands, where mythical creatures and ancient mysteries await.

Silver & Gold concludes the high-heat fantasy adventure begun in Silk & Sand. Get ready for more fabulous locations and deeper, darker secrets. And of course, all the action, humor, and sexy intensity that only these two gorgeous, complicated, irresistible men can deliver.


SNik's review:

Second/finale in duology (Seth & Raider), must be read in order. Fantasy adventure. Semi established couple. Hurt/comfort. Dual POV. 

This was a highly anticipated book for me and it did not disappoint. On the run together, Raider and Seth finally learn the truths behind Raider’s past, and are determined to fight together. Raider and Seth are both strong, capable, compassionate, sacrificing, and fiercely in love. Seth refuses to abandon Raider and although both men think they don’t deserve the other, there is no doubt that they belong together. There are a tremendous amount of twists to this story, many revelations, and plenty of declarations of love and trust between Raider and Seth. 

This couple is beyond swoony with the high heat and steamy interactions which contributed to their deeper emotional connection, plus their commitment to honest communication which may have wavered at times, but never really when it came to believing in each other. The continuous action packed adventure along with some supportive and interesting secondary characters made this story fly by much too fast because I absolutely adore Raider and Seth as a couple.
