I’m still not really sure how I feel about what she experiences on Tor. She’s been trained to fight, kill really, and her mission is to kill Logan. She loves Ax and her entire world is devoted to the only friend she’s ever had. She’s fiercely loyal which is a quality that the character we know has as well. She’s tough, kind, and secure in her love for Ax. This novella is set on Tor, prior to Sadie’s return/memory wipe on Earth. Sadie is an entirely different character than what the readers have seen in the past. He’s kind, a gentle giant and above all he just wants someone to love him.

Griselda knows what, or rather whom, to threaten where Ax is concerned. Axton is just as much a prisoner of his mother’s as Sadie is. It’s a little reminiscent of Stockholm syndrome, where the captured falls for their captor, except it’s not. An absent father, a mother that doesn’t want him, and now he has Sadie, a prisoner of his mother’s who he has claimed as his mate. His entire life has been one hard blow after another. He is the lonely son of Griselda, the leader of Tor. The Heir and the Human by Siobhan Davis is possibly my favorite addition to The Saven Series. This novella brings light to Axton and Sadie, their relationship, and motives behind Axton’s actions in Saven: Defiance.Īxton breaks my heart.
