Arden’s search for her destiny inadvertently revealed the true lineage of witches everywhere and a secret history hidden long ago.
Now, she needs to find the meaning and purpose of the Rowan. With questions piling up and a parchment stingy with answers, she must look to the past before she can embrace her future.
But Arden and the Imperium Cadre will find the road to the past riddled with battle, betrayal and millennium old secrets. To uncover the answers they seek, they must trust in the strength they find together, or all will be lost.
For when the fierce winds of change blow, hidden agendas and powerful enemies are unveiled.
Part 2 of Arden’s quest to discover who and what she really is.
Together with Theron, Daire, Valerian, and Fallon, she’s in for a hell of a ride in this installment.
This book dives a lot deeper into the backstory of the men, and while handling situations in the Underworld, the Kingdom of Dragons, and so much more, we get to see what everyone is made of (spoiler: they do not disappoint 😉 )
We meet family and friends; some we like to see, others we really could do without.
I personally love that Arden is immortal and that she’s not just 28 years old. She’s had centuries to mature and learn how to kick ass, and she does it with style 🙂
She’s no damsel in distress, needing to be saved, but she’s starting to learn when to call for help from one of the guys.
There is no ‘insta-love’ in the series… insane attraction, yes, but they’re all weary and careful.
Each character, from Arden to the men, has unique strengths and flaws, which makes them all the more interesting.
All in all, good worldbuilding and excellent character development.
I read this part in one sitting. It was smooth sailing from start to finish, and honestly, I cannot wait to start on the next installment.
Ohhh… I just figured out that part three is the ‘final’ book for Arden and her men. The other books in the series are Meri’s story.
Welll…. I think I might read this one somewhere in between, soonish 😀
I highly recommend this series to anyone who loves fantasy, romance (reverse harem), and strong female characters.
