Jabari and Aisha had a wild romance once, a beautiful year of bliss. She thought she had found her forever, and he felt his dead heart being pulled on in a way he thought was impossible.
However, Jabari had already lost the love of his life and there was nothing that could repair that damage. So he walked away. He was the General, as many called him, and he knew just how to strike. He broke Aisha’s heart so perfectly that he was certain she would never try to pull at his dead heart again.
One innocent life.
Aisha didn’t know she was pregnant until after he was gone. So many things ran through her mind when she found out. Jabari, son of Hasan, was the oldest son of the most powerful werecat family in the world. It was fear, not anger or heartbreak, that kept her from reaching out sooner. She had feared that she would lose her son to the political machine that was Jabari’s family, the ruling family of the werecats. Feared that her son would lose his chance to choose his own destiny.
She never expected out of control magic and that could not only ruin everything…
It could get their son killed.
It’s a war sixteen years in the making.
Aisha’s secret couldn’t be kept forever and only Jabari can help their son.
The battle lines will be drawn as two broken people once again face off over the very thing they need the most. In this conflict, the warriors won’t carry swords.
Their hearts will be the only weapons they have.
Hearts at War contains triggering content including discussion about suicidal ideation.

About the author

She’s a firm believer that nothing and no one in this world is perfect, and she enjoys exploring those imperfections—trying to make the characters seem real on the page and not just in her head.
She might just be crazy, though. Her characters think so, but this can’t be confirmed.

Now that we are past the small negative let me tell you I am so very thrilled that this author has brough us a character (Aisha) who is a woman of tremendous growth. She is, well good. She is someone I want to know, want to be. She does not just drop in as this perfect character. She is a fun-loving sweet character at the beginning of the book by the end, wow. Bringing a child into her dangerous world changes her priorities. This author has done a brilliant job with her. Jabari he also grows and wants to be better because of her and her love of their son. This story is about The General (Jabari) and why he is who he is and how he got there. The entire werecat ruling family is evolving into a true family and also showing the cracks that happen when too much pressure is added and not enough understanding. I absolutely love this series. I cannot wait to find out more of each of these werecats and how they will evolve to become the people I think they are meant to be. K.N. Banet has and continues to deliver books that I want to revisit time and again, I cannot wait for the next installment.
Generally, I liked that it was set in Mozambique, but other than that it was a fairly uninspiring retread of the hidden-pregnancy romance novel trope. The fmc spent the first 1/3 of the book crying out of self-pity regarding the decisions she made for herself - decisions that seriously harmed Makalos and Jabari. Other than the crying, there simply wasn’t much character to the character. She used to be a model and now she is a stay-at-home mom. The author tried to sell that Jabari and Aisha had some great love between them, but it had been synthesised down to a single chapter of prologue that was focused more on sex than emotion and given that Jabari and Aisha are immortal, the year they spent together was the equivalent of two strangers meeting on vacation and having a brief weekend affair before returning to their established lives. It simply didn’t have any kind of emotional resonance.
As for the Makalos is a werecat with magic-thing, it’s hard to get excited about another slow-walked introduction of a topic that the author has been eliding for 15 books. To put it in context, In Search of Lost Time by Marcel Proust is a faster read than this series, which seems to have no point to it.
That’s what this story is primarily about: parenting. Sometimes, mothers must make hard decisions for their children. I’m sure plenty of readers won’t agree with Aisha’s choice for any reason, but I felt the interactions first with Jabari and later with Jabari’s father and siblings lent weight to her decisions- She would have eventually been pushed out as his mother and Makalo would have been raised first and foremost as his grandfather’s soldier. Jabari’s beliefs align more with his fathers until he’s able to see who his son has been able to become without constant threats and pressure on his shoulders.
I will say that I was disappointed not to learn more about Aisha’s early life and conversion. Perhaps that was intentional on the author’s part, to avoid seeming as though she’s making excuses for Aisha’s actions, because she’s not. Aisha has made her son her entire focus for his entire life due to the potential risks. That’s not an easy thing to do (and honestly, not the best for any parent, but these aren’t typical circumstances).
Usually a novel about a background character lacks substance and storyline, but I didn’t feel shortchanged in this case, despite the lack of background on Aisha. There was at least enough to avoid the sense that the character was nothing more than a mom who has rediscovered sex.
Also, for the life of me, I don’t understand reviewers who drop their ratings over racy sex scenes. If you don’t like them, read another book, because you were well warned beforehand (Save it for the books that are nothing but rape yet only described as “dark”). The real problem is that those reviewers don’t like the fact that they don’t feel pandered to (How DARE you write something I don’t care for?!?), It’s the review equivalent of asking for the manager.
I liked the pacing of the story, and as a mother myself, it gave me all the mama bear feelings. And yet I found myself relating to Jabari a lot more in this book. I liked learning more about him and really getting to know him. The ending was wild - I don’t want to spoil anything but it was a page turner. I can’t wait to jump back into this world with the next story - they are all amazing (Jacky Leon, Kaliya Sahni, Everly Abbott)!

I read this as I have been reading the authors other works in this world. It was nice to read about a different member of the family, one that we don't really know so much of.
Contrary to another review. The first half of the book does NOT have the mother of the boy whining and wailing about the choices she made. She was HAPPY to leave it all behind as any decent mother would be. To put her child first and raise him. And raise him well she did. Rather when Jabari was ready to condemn her for not telling him, she showed the exact reasons why she had not wanted him in that world. When a woman can be condemned and hated for loving a werewolf instead of a werecat. Where a father could kill rather than understand its not all about him. Aisha was spot on. Hassans enemies are not Makaolo's. Why should he be brought up where he would have had the life expected. Not had the time to enjoy his life. To learn how to live.
In all honesty if that very anti woman review had been written by Hassan I would have understood it as he has that attitude too.
The tribunal archives are one of my favourite all time series that I have both bough on kindle and paperback. It was nice to not only see a different side of the general but also see other family members interacting together. I have hope that Aisha will bring a change and that we will see more of her and her son in future. But if not, I am glad that we got to share this part of their lives.

Aisha is a total bamf; she makes the hard decisions because she knows the consequences. She accepts those consequences and faces them with stoicism and quite pride when they come due. She is calm, strong, and absolutely good. She is good for Jabari - he has come a long way and has a long way to go and all of that would not be possible without Aisha. Makalo is such a wonderful character too, and you can't help but root for him.
All of the characters in this make my heart melt a little - I like Jabari well enough before this book but there's so much more to him that we only see in his own story, much like we only see his sister's true character in hers.
Absolutely a must read for fans of the universe, especially the Jacky books!


It is a great addition to the series & I really hope the author is planning more of the same for each of Hasan's children
I read it in a day as I didn't want to put it down so I didn't lol
Fantastic story, loved the characters, also seeing a lot more of Jabiri & finally learning his history was great, can't wait until the next instalment of this series
Enjoy 😉
