This is a VERY generous 2. Under normal circumstances I would probably have DNF'd this (the writing was decent).
Audrey (AKA Nynn) was banished because she married a human (and in part d/t her parentage). She is also a Dragon King (a powerful supernatural race; they were once worshipped as gods). Her husband murdered, she and her son are kidnapped and subjected to experimentation and torture. Leto is a Cage Warrior. He is fighting for the "right" to procreate. It appears that the DK race is severely diminishing in numbers due to infertility. Things happen and Nynn is sent to the cages to be Leto apprentice.
This is pretty dark. The world building could have been better. There are different "clans" among the DK and each have different abilities and capabilities. The clans don't necessarily get along or see eye to eye. For a supernatural group that presumably had all these strengths, it was never fully explained how (mere) humans gained the upper hand and were able to enslave, torture so many of the DK.
A lot of this was training and more training. I really hated Leto. He was an asshole most of the time. Tough love is one thing, but I thought his actions towards Nynn were abusive. Plain and simple. He does have an awakening, but I do not forgive and forget. Not happening.
At the end of the day, I had more questions than answers. At the same time, do I care to see if answers are forthcoming in the next 2 books? Nope. Pass, I've got other books I'd rather be reading.
