Illyrium Dreams D L Goddard

Lord Kailen, the noble, trustworthy Lead Stallion of the largest herd of Kentauroi since his ancestor Bienor once ruled, has lost his beloved. He had finally asserted his position as her rightful mate, but after one precious night together, Raisa was spirited away. Only the most evil of the Olympian gods knew where Raisa had been sent, but Kailen swore to find his pregnant beloved, no matter the cost. Taking 3 unlikely companions, 2 Centaurs and a Princess of the Maenads, they set out to unravel a deadly game of jealous vengeance. Kailen and his companions would have to face untold dangers and help all those in need along the way. Lady Raisa however, found herself in an enchanted place, its beauty unsurpassed and everything the beautiful Centaur needed was given without her having to ask. Her two attendants were twins, exquisitely handsome males of the race of Hidden Ones who were besotted at first glance. They were prepared to do anything she asked to make her life more comfortable ... anything at all. But time is running out as the malicious, evil goddess in charge of all the deaths, the strife and mistrust in Kailen's lands, and among the races, is pushing the people toward a catastrophic war. She wants to destroy everything Kailen had created. She wants to see him broken and spiralling into madness, unable to take his own life when he had nothing left to live for, but to suffer grief eternally. Everything she has done will see the peaceful races ... dead and destroyed. The four companions, are racing against the clock. They have to find a way to defeat an immortal goddess who vows to destroy them, while the Olympian gods take sides. But one unlikely ally will tip the balance. Will Lord Haides, god of the Underworld, struggling to make his stolen wife Persephone love him; help or hinder the friends? He is the final piece in an elaborate game to save the races, but if he chooses the wrong side ... nothing they have sacrificed will mean anything. Nothing will prevent the coming destruction, and Lord Kailen knows, it won't only be him that loses everything.
