An epic clash between gods and mortals threatens to tear Mytica apart . . . and prove that not even the purest of love stands a chance against the strongest of magic.

MAGNUS and CLEO are forced to test the strength of their love when Gaius returns to Mytica claiming he's no longer the King of Blood but a changed man seeking redemption.

LUCIA, pregnant with the child of a Watcher, has escaped the clutches of the unhinged fire god. Her powers are dwindling as she goes forth to fulfill a prophecy that will keep her baby safe . . . but could mean her demise.

JONAS treks back to Mytica with a plan to overtake Amara, but fate takes hold when he runs into the beautiful Princess Lucia and joins her on her perilous journey.

AMARA has taken the Mytican throne, but with no way to unleash the water magic trapped within her stolen crystal, she'll never be able to seize glory and get sweet revenge.

And what kind of darkness will descend--and who will be safe--after Prince Ashur reveals the dangerous price he paid to cheat death?


Why I'm waiting on this one!

I own the first book of this series, but I still haven't read it..... It's titled Falling Kingdoms. I really do want to read it, but somehow, haven't done so yet....SO many books to read!! I hope that I'll be able to get to it this year, and then eventually I'll reach Book 5..... Lol.

    Hey Maria!!

    You are definitely right that I love your pick. Fantasy is definitely a beloved genre for me! I have to confess that I haven't finished reading the other books in this series yet; so I didn't read the synopsis because SPOILERS. Hahaha
    However, I may or may not have drooled over this cover. Honestly, it's covers and outfits like this that make me want to go to a cosplay event and challenge those super talented artists to dress like this photo-then get my picture with them.

    Sorry for the novel and thanks for an AMAZING suggestion! :)

      Hey, Lauren!

      Fantasy is one of my favorite genres (the other being science fiction). I figured you would love this pick! As Eve said in her comment above, there has been nothing but praise for this series! You're ahead of me, though, since you've already started it! :)

      You know, I've never gone to a cosplay event, but would sure love to! I did use to attend Star Trek conventions years ago.... I sure miss them....

      No problem with writing 'a novel'. I love long comments myself! Lol.

      You're very welcome for the suggestion! Thanks for commenting back!! Enjoy the rest of your week!! :)

      Hi, there!

      What I can't believe is that I've had the first book sitting on my shelves for quite some time now, and haven't read it yet. So you're really ahead of me, lol.

      Thanks for commenting!! :)

    You are not alone in owning the first book but not reading it. However, I am a tad bit stranger even in that I HAVE actually read the first book in the spin-off series - The Spirit Thieves. It was really good and I am sure I will like this series as well so I am grabbing them off Book Outlet when I see them. Great choice.

      Hi, Barb!

      Don't worry -- you're not alone in starting the spin-off series before the original series. I'm sure a LOT of people have done that, too!

      I know you'll like the original series. From what I've heard, she's a terrific writer!

      Glad you like my choice! Thanks for commenting!! :)
