I’m one of four Willow daughters.
He’s the first-born son of the Scafoni family. And we have history.

For generations, the Scafoni family have demanded a sacrifice of us. A virgin daughter to atone for sins so old, we don’t even remember what they are anymore.

But when you have as much money as they do, you don’t play by the rules. You make them.

And Sebastian Scafoni makes all the rules.

The moment I saw him, I knew he would choose me. Even though the mark on my sheath declared me unclean. Even though my beautiful sisters stood beside me, offered to him, he still chose me.

He made me his.
And then he set out to break me.

Taken was Good

Reviewed in the United States on January 29, 2024

I like the storyline but I did have some issues with the characters. The main female, Helena, is very naive. The main hero, Sebastian, cares about her, but Helena doesn't trust it because she didn't choose to be there. The interaction between the two is frustrating because they could be good together if they communicated.

Years of suffering for what???

Reviewed in the United States on November 6, 2023

A Willow girl will be sacrificed to a Scafoni man once again and all for what? Helena Willow is one of the quadruplet girls that is placed on blocks for what the call the Reaping. This is where the oldest Scafoni son gets to choose which of the four girls him and his brothers get to use for the next three years. It is an archaic tradition and Helena doesn't understand it and she can't figure out why her parents are even going along with it. There are certain ways things are supposed to be done and some of the Scafoni family members are not happy with Sebastian when he chooses Helena, especially since she has been deemed "unclean". Helena is truly alone and has no one to rely on and even though Sebastian says he is her only ally, she doesn't feel she can trust him and with the way he handles things he does show her he is trustworthy either. This is a great first book in the series and ends on a heart stopping cliffhanger. I'm dying to know what happens next in book two, Torn.

Wrecked

Reviewed in the United States on January 1, 2022

Weak young girl stupidly gives body to farm hand to avoid being chosen but is taken from home anyway. Helena is basically raped by Sebastian but enjoys rough sex. When will I find a book where a woman fights for herself and goes all out to exert strength, gain independence. Reason behind entire plot is money and power as usual . Convoluted, mixed up family of sick men desiring sex on their terms. Strange story but will see where it leads. Sucked in by another cliff hanger.

Very good start to this trilogy. I love that Helena is sassy and not afraid to speak up for herself and stand up to Sebastian. She does suffer some pretty bad punishments but she still stands up for herself. I have a love hate relationship with Sebastian . The ending was a very big shocker. I can’t wait to see how this ends and if Helena and Sebastian get their HEA. Taken gets two thumbs up from me.

Disturbingly good

Reviewed in the United States on January 8, 2019

One Willow daughter will be sacrificed to the Scafoni brothers. This legacy has been passed down to each generation. The Willow daughter of choice will barely survive and when returned, will be a shell of her former self. Can Helena Willow change her fate? The firstborn son, Sebastian has the first right of choice and whom he chooses will submit to him for a year, before he passes her over to the next brother in line. Sebastian chooses Helena, she is not flawless, and he sees the darkness and rebellion in her which piques his interest. Can Helena survive through this ordeal? She challenges the Scafoni family and in return is reprimanded and abused for her disobedience. Each generation of Willow woman has suffered and it looks like Helena will suffer the same fate or will she? Sebastian was a perplexed character who blew hot and cold. Helena was the woman who had a backbone until she learns to submit, but is she really submitting or just biding her time? The stepmother is the most despicable woman out, who thrives on inflicting pain on others. You will loathe this evil woman and her middle son. Gregory, the youngest brother, seems to watch and not say much, but you know beneath it all, something is lurking. This story seemed like something from the medieval times with the abuse that is inflicted on women, especially Willow women. At times I warmed up to Sebastian and then he did something that would put him back as the villain. The story evokes mixed feelings, the legacy is bizarre and the characters are mysterious and yet the story is so good. Be warned, this ends on a cliff-hanger.

Didn't like the indebted series and apparently niether this one is working. I generally like ms Knight books but this one is taking a direction that is a major turn off to me. Must say i'm a little pissed off, have this awful scene in my head i don't know how to get rid of. hard limit for me. Such a pity cause i was loving it until then.

Louise H - "Life In The Book Lane" Book Reviews

4.5 stars -A dark and gripping read, not for the faint of heart but well worth reading

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 4, 2018

Verified Purchase

This is one of those 'legacy' type reads, where the hero and heroine are bound by centuries of family tradition and expectations. Where refusing isn't an option but cooperating isn't much better. These always take a little more suspension of disbelief but this story is definitely worth making that effort.

Taken by Natasha Knight, is book #1 of the Dark Legacy Duet. I read it because it was picked as one of the Book of the Month reads over in the Dark Erotica group. Whilst it's the first of this author's books that I've read, it won't be my last - and not just because it's a duet and #1 ended on a huge cliff-hanger!

I usually feel some trepidation when reading a dark book by a new-to-me author. I find I'm disappointed more often than I'm not with the level of darkness (or lack thereof). However that wasn't the case with Taken. It is definitely dark, it has scenes that tread the line between dubious and non-consent, it has unfair and cruel punishments. If you like sweet, light and fluffy this won't be for you.

Helena and Sebastian are caught in the rules that have bound their families together for generations. Not only is there no love lost between the two families, but it appears that there is no love within the families either. This is a scorching hot, sordid tale of lust, power, money and greed. One that will keep you on the edge of your seat.

I loved Helena, I loved that she never gave up and never gave in. Instead she gave as good as she got whenever she could. I loved the darkness of this, it's full of dubious and non-consent. It wallows both in its hideous beauty and its perverted depravity. It had me full of ire, anger and anxiety and the tension had me on the edge of my seat.

It is extremely well written, though I never felt as though I really knew Sebastian, and I certainly didn't feel an emotional connection to him. I would have also liked to feel more fear from Helena and definitely more self-revulsion. I wanted her to be torn apart by her inability to resist the devil that was Sebastian. Come on, this guy has stolen her away for three years of her life. Taken away her freedom, consigned her to three years of sexual slavery and abuse. Yes she rages against this, yes she rubs his nose into that poop and reminds him of it frequently. I can even accept her body betraying her when it comes to Sebastian, but what I missed was her mind rounding on her afterwards. For me that's why I can't give it 5 stars, along with the fact that she felt much older than a pretty sheltered and naive 21 year old.

This was not a book where you would feel like, nor want to, skim read or skip any parts. It takes you by the throat and doesn't let go until you're struggling for breathe, in the same way Sebastian does to Helena. It's full of sex, violence and dirty talk, it definitely is a NSFW 18+ read, for those that like their romance tainted and speckled with blood. OMG I can't wait for book 2.
