When Prince Duncan Caldwell loses his way home and knocks to get shelter, he doesn’t know his life is about to change forever. Not because he can’t tear his gaze away from the beautiful woman who opens that door. More because she’s a stranger, yet he can’t shake the feeling she belongs to him. And that’s just the beginning of the Virtus Saga, where nothing is as it seems, not since soul mates Prince Duncan Caldwell and Lord Christopher Templeton share a love that is unrivaled until that fateful knock on Ylianor Meyer’s dilapidated shack.
This book starts it all—the love and the passion, but also the fiery sex and the intricate three-way relationship. Mostly the unique connection laced with a jealousy and violence that are unknown to their world. Because this isn’t just another erotic dark fantasy series. This is the making of a trio. Of three remarkable characters that have to overcome their uncontrollable lust to face the truth about themselves and their planet, in order to defeat the darkness about to devour them. To be as one whilst three! That’s their real challenge. Because, if they can’t learn to share power and love in equal measures, how will they be able to ensure their world’s survival?

The Making of a Trio: the Virtus Saga shows how power and love can be equally shared
Now completed, Laura Tolomei's erotic dark fantasy series is continuing to receive critical acclaims. The concept of a world free of violence attracts readers. The fiery MM and MMF sex keeps them hooked to every page. The titles say it all. Book 1 The Sex, Book 2 The Game, Book 3 The Festival, Book 4 The Leader, Book 5 The Pledge, Book 6 The Heat, Book 7 The Princess and Book 8 The Lord—they all drip passion and lust woven inside an imaginary frame ruled by magical powers, divided between good and evil and struggling to survive.
The way it all starts and progresses, nothing is as it seems. Soul-mates Prince Duncan Caldwell and Lord Christopher Templeton share a love that is unrivaled, until Duncan takes shelter in Ylianor Meyer's dilapidated shack. Ylianor has always loved Duncan, and while Duncan is attracted to her, she remains a servant—okay to bed, but not acceptable consort material. Unwilling to accept it, Ylianor vows she will do anything, even come head to head with his insufferable lover, to stay at his side.
But there is more going on than either of the three realize. Lord Arthur Fairchild, Leader of the High Council, knows his planet Sendar is doomed unless the predestined Hero steps in and blocks the darkness threatening to take over. And even if one person alone fits the bill, Arthur does the unthinkable—not only does he summon the Hero, but the Hero's consorts as well. Sendar needs these three special people to become fully aware of their powers and learn how to use them together. Sendar needs these three special people to work together above and beyond their personal issues. Sendar needs these three special people to become one whilst being three to make it through the difficult times ahead. If they do not, the Virtus which holds all of Sendar's secrets could destroy them all.
Excerpt
That Sendar needs a hero today seems kind of obvious. The arbitrary twists and turns of the blind destiny that has guided us thus far are failing us.
No doubt about it.
Something or someone is about to uncover the truth about our way of life and compromise our peaceful existence forever. That’s why we need a leader, who can take charge like no other has dared do before him and use the age-old mysteries to change the very course of destiny itself.
That’s why we need a hero.
Not that heroes are plentiful on a planet ruled by sex.
Sex, sex and more sex—such is the essence of what Sendar is all about. In no other place in the world does the need for it pervade every aspect of life. For Sendar is unique. Better yet, the concept of using sex to curb violence has no equals in the universe, even if only as the result of an ambitious experiment.
To beat that innate violence of ours, we sex up our lives whichever way we can, without any limitations or taboos to spoil our pleasure. Whether with men, women or both, the more the better and no questions asked.
Those are the ways we learn early on from the phase, which trains us in the art of loving, and complete with the pledge. Same ways we must preserve at all costs, especially now that they are at great risk.
I’ll try my best to thwart the danger, biding my time until Sendar’s true hero can take over. And he won’t be alone, for one man alone won’t be able to stop the darkness about to devour us all. To be as one whilst still three—that will be his real challenge, to face the truth about himself and his world without letting his love, lust and passions blind him. So we can all just hope and pray to our gods that he succeeds, and that the world as we know it won’t crash down on us, now or ever.

Blackraven’s Reviews rated it 5 Ravens and a Recommended Read
Ms. Tolomei has penned a riveting story that will take the reader through a myriad of emotions that range from anger to sorrow to unbridled passion. Any book that can accomplish such a feat is FREAK-IN-FANTASTIC in my opinion. The characters are well-developed and three-dimensional, the dialogue is refreshing and bold, the emotions are raw and untamed, the world building is amazing and intriguing, and the sex is explosive and uninhibited. I simply couldn’t get enough of this well-crafted story and read it in one sitting.
The Romance Read (TRR) rated it 4 Stars
Now, with a title like THE SEX, I'm sure that most people would be expecting a lot of it. All types of ways with a variety of partners. This also seems to be very important to our main characters as it unleashes powers and makes connections that they were not aware of. The sex scenes are quite descriptive and erotic, and they are always in the flow of the story. I felt like some of the treatment of Ylianor was horrible, but it is explained away later when the secrets of the main characters are revealed.
I give it 4 stars. Between the amazing world building, plentiful sex, great characters, and well-developed plot, this book is the start of something special.

The ancient kings of Whitehawk were all too aware of the temptation of magic. They could feel its threat, a presence in their courts, a serpent slithering at their feet, even entering into their beds.
