About this eBook

A lost prince


Between years surviving on the streets and an ill-advised stint with Kien’s group of half-blood fae, Fen has seen his fair share of darkness. Sure, he helped capture Kien and put an end to the trouble he caused, but his actions contributed to one of the greatest upheavals of all—the return of magic to Earth. Now Fen’s mother has named him the heir to the Unseelie throne, and he has discovered he has two mates he is unworthy to claim.


A deadly healer


The daughter of a Seelie artisan and a human woman, Maddy can’t find anyone among her father’s people willing to teach her to heal without causing harm. But finally, she has hope—a healer on Moranaia has agreed to help her. The problem? Maddy will have to travel to their world, leaving her girlfriend Anna unprotected on Earth. For the return of magic has awakened Anna’s latent water abilities, and the temptation of the nearby river could prove too much without Maddy near.


A canny enemy


When a slip of the tongue reveals that Fen could share a mate bond with both Maddy and Anna, all three must come to terms with their insecurities—and quickly. The poison they believed eradicated has appeared again, and Meren, the traitorous Seelie noble who had once worked with Kien, has returned from hiding. Together, Anna, Fen, and Maddy might be able to defeat the rising threat. But first, they must conquer their pasts.

Once again Bethany has delivered a story that gives us a bit of everything. Such beautifully written characters, fascinating settings and a compelling and gripping plot. I, as always when reading this series, couldn't stop reading. I missed Moranaia, but I enjoyed seeing other relms and the people within them. Fen is such a wonderful character, such depth, it's hard not to fall in love with him, and of course the ladies in his life. I cannot wait to see what happens next. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Yet another amazing book by Bethany Adams. You meet old characters. You meet new characters you can't wait to get to know more about. Juggling three separate personalities as main characters, and bringing them together while still keeping them distinct is a hard job, but it is done beautifully. There is romance, there is a lot of action (I felt drawn into it from the first page and can't think of a single sensation of "OK, lull..." during the entire read), there is magic, there is lots of humor, there is very well dosed suspense. And most of all, there is a strong sense of relating to the characters, because most of us have been through something similar to what each of them is going through; each one of their flaws makes them even more relatable, and their strength is inspiring. You can't help but love them, perhaps particularly Fen and his big mouth. Overall, a fantastic read; I can't praise it enough.

I love this series of books. I especially love how a character will be introduced in one book and then we get to know them more intimately in the next book. In Ascent, we get to know Fen. It was fun to watch his friends become acquainted with their powers as magic returns to earth. It was also endearing to see Fen struggle to forgive himself as he learns how to accept love. I';m sure we can all relate to that. There was just the right mix of romance and action, and a few plot twists thrown in to keep me guessing. Once again, a thrilling page turner. I think I will start back at the first book and read them all in order again. As with the whole series, Ascent is easily devourable, with just enough fantasy to get lost in. A triumph, Bethany Adams!
