About this eBook

#1 New York Times-Bestselling Author: The fate of a mystic land inextricably linked to our own is balanced precariously on one woman’s courage…

Shaman-for-hire Eugenie Markham strives to keep the mortal realm safe from trespassing entities. But as the Thorn Land's prophecy-haunted queen, there's no refuge for her and her soon-to-be-born-children when a mysterious blight begins to devastate the Otherworld. . .

The spell-driven source of the blight isn't the only challenge to Eugenie's instincts. Fairy king Dorian is sacrificing everything to help, but Eugenie can't trust the synergy drawing them back together. The uneasy truce between her and her shape shifter ex-lover Kiyo is endangered by secrets he can't--or won't--reveal. And as a formidable force rises to also threaten the human world, Eugenie must use her own cursed fate as a weapon--and risk the ultimate sacrifice. . .

Praise for Richelle Mead's Storm Born. . .

"My kind of book--great characters, dark worlds, and just the right touch of humor. A great read." --Patricia Briggs, New York Times Bestselling Author

I ignored the fact that throughout this entire series the author completely destroyed Fey rules. I completely ignored the fact that the heroine was wish-washy in her stances of love and forgiveness. But really! To end this series the way she did is almost an insult to her readers! I admit, dark swan had me hooked until the end but I'll just compare it to a really hot love making session with no explosion at the end, leaving you frustrated and highly disappointed. No more Richelle Mead books for me.

WTF WERE YOU THINKING. What a cheat of an ending. Were you just counting words and decided what the hell. Wrap it up here. For the first time I feel INCREDIBLY DISAPPOINTED by one of your works. I am STEAMED I paid money for this. I should have stopped at book 2. You just lost a fan. SHAME ON YOU!!
