About this eBook

 

An unexpected duty

 

For three hundred years, Princess Dria has avoided the drama of the royal court by training as a battle mage. When her father summons her back to court just as she begins to rise up the ranks, she’s furious. Even worse, she must work with her estranged brother Ralan on a mission to Earth. But as soon as Dria arrives at Moranaia’s new outpost, her brother drops the leadership of the entire place into her hands. Now she’s in charge of fortifying a new outpost on a planet she’s never even visited.

 

An abhorrent task

 

Prince Vek of the Unseelie has spent millennia as his father’s enforcer, working in the shadows to eliminate evil, but after sparing his nephew Fen from the king’s judgement, Vek must tread carefully. One false move, and he will lose the king’s trust—and Fen’s life. But when the king gives Vek a new, more sinister task, Fen becomes the least of his worries. The Moranaians have a new colony on Earth, and King Torek wants the energy source that’s contained within. Vek must retrieve that power—even if he has to kill the Moranaian leader to get it.

 

A threat unknown

 

From the moment she catches Vek sneaking into the cavern, Dria knows the truth—the dark and mysterious prince is her soulbonded. But she’s certain he’s up to no good, and although she’s drawn to him, there is no way she can trust him. His reputation, and that of the Unseelie in general, precedes him. Unfortunately, more than desire is awakening. As they dance around their budding attraction, Dria and Vek uncover a deathly illness lurking among the fae—and a sinister plot that will damage both their worlds.

Easily read as a stand alone, this is book 6 in "The Return of the Elves" series. Next to impossible to put down, it's a must read for fantasy lovers. The story is fast paced and funny. The characters are interesting and it's a pleasure to watch them grow; they are also easy to relate to, since they all have problems and dilemmas, as well as complicated pasts, so the potential for intrigue is huge. For people who love elves, this is a goldmine. There are several races, each with their strengths and flaws, customs and magic. This particular book focuses on two characters of different races; their interaction, particularly their verbal sparring, is irresistible. In short, the book has a bit of everything: an original universe, action, romance, some politics, family drama, comedy, sarcasm, magic, even a dragon. I completely lost track of time reading it, and I absolutely loved it, so I highly recommend it, this as well as the rest of the series.

The latest instalment to the most wonderful series. Bethany has created a world so fascinating and magical it's impossible not to get swept up when reading. The main characters in Awakening, Dria and Vek, are fantastic and this story following their relationship is possibly my favourite yet. Cannot wait for more! I will say the end felt a little abrupt but that's mostly because I never want the books to end.

I love this series, Awakening has it all, adventure, mystery, mayhem, rivalry and sexual tension. Fantastic book that I just couldn't put down. The character development is great and how Bethany addresses the complexity of relationships gave depth to each of the characters.
