When U.S. Marine Corp Sgt. Orion MacKinnon loses both his legs in the bloody sands of Afghanistan, he forsakes his soul along with them. After retiring to a remote location in the snowy mountains of Alaska with his Special Forces canine companion—a German Shepherd named Zeus—he becomes a recluse and vows never to wear the prosthetic legs he keeps buried out of sight…
until a lone hiker becomes trapped beneath an avalanche on his mountain.
The woman Orion calls Hope can’t recall a shred of her former life. As he tends to her wounds she slowly begins to unravel the tight seclusion he has wrapped around himself.
She can’t remember her past. He only wants to forget his.
However, the two have more in common with the forces that brought them together than they realize, including the sinister presence that will threaten their very lives.
When their pasts collide, will they survive the future?
Orion, wow this was truly heartachingly beautiful story of
two lost souls. Orion, named for the
Hunter, is hiding from life. Secluded in
the wilderness of Alaska, he does not know how to live his life in society
after losing his legs as Marine. His
only company is his ever-faithful partner and Special Forces dog, Zeus, who he
has had by his side through thick and thin on every mission. The have celebrated and suffered together. Their last mission leaving them both
traumatised. Until the day Orion and
Zeus are tested, having to rescue a hiker trapped under an avalanche. Little did they know that this was the
beginning of the end of their isolated world.
I just cannot imagine the struggle that Orion and Zeus must
face daily. To make it through such agonising
torture and come out the other side only to be left permanently broken, damaged
beyond belief and now living a life of solitude because it is what you think
you deserve. Your life has become a
living nightmare and there is no way you see to overcome the past. Their story is so emotionally charged and
haunting that you are hoping something will come along to help drag Orion out
of his daily living hell.
For Orion to still be so brave as to put his and Zeus’ lives
on the line to save the hiker is a testament to the type of man he really
his. Always putting other first, not
able to watch others suffer and a hero to his very core. It is just such a shame that he is unable to
see these qualities in himself.
This is my first read by author Raeah Wilding and I was pleasantly
surprised by her style. The author did
not leave you wanting for details. This
story is jam-packed. There is a moving
time-line, gritty and tear-filled flashbacks, an intoxicating chemistry between
the two main characters that you want to drown in. The start is slow, the meeting is intriguing,
the storyline is unstoppable, and you wouldn’t want to, the middle is
incredibly sweet, and the ending is explosive and captivating. You will be blindsided by some of the twists
and turns this story takes. This is the
first in the constellations series, so it will be interesting to see the
direction that the author is going to take.
