The Savage Principle (Savage, #3)

The Savage Principle is full of secrets! Well, two very huge secrets! I was very excited to learn more about Rowenna, since she's a unique character in this series. I wasn't surprised that she caught the attention of multiple men in her clan, and that the women didn't like her. But I was very surprised about...well, I can't really say! This whole novella is like one giant spoiler! I really cannot believe that Rowenna didn't mention any of this, or even hint at it, to Clara when they met and had their mother-daughter heart-to-hearts. I suppose it's really not something that should become common knowledge, but she's just so calm, cool, and collected and never slipped!

The Savage Principle also shows us a young King Raymond and Queen Ada. Ada was just as awful as a teenager! I had kind of assumed that she started drinking in excess and being vicious after their marriage, and maybe after Clara was born, but nope. She is truly awful! We also learn a bit more about this prophecy that Clara is suppose to be a part of, but I don't think it was enough. It seems like a lot of people know about it, and yet not a lot of people know about The Travelers. Which leaves me wondering who told who about the prophecy?
