Magic is always a common element
in fantasy. In this story, you find out that some magic is good, while others
use it for evil. Katie Watkins, of Katie’s Clean Book Collection, wrote:
“I
love a good story with an arranged marriage in it--especially if it involves
royalty. How could I not love this one? Gabrielle is offered up to marry
handsome Prince Alec in order to forge an alliance that will help in the coming
war. Their relationship progresses slowly and naturally and I really enjoyed
watching it unfold.
“Gabrielle wants to be loved, but she remembers the prince from her younger years and always thought of him as a playboy. I know I would have a hard time getting over those memories and she wasn't any different. I can't imagine being thrown (forced) into a new situation like that. I thought she did a good job of making the best of her situation.
“I loved the mystery and adventure and thought there was just the right amount of fantasy. Of course, my favorite parts were the romance. I loved how kind and gracious this couple was and how they worked together to find a solution to the problems at hand. I really liked the first book, but I loved this one! So far, they just keep getting better!”

Gabrielle and her new husband, Prince Alec must learn to work together and
trust each other in order to triumph in the approaching war. With a mysterious
beast attacking the kingdom, their lives in danger, and overcoming their vast

Enjoy the fantasy, danger, mystery, and romance!

"I love how Clarke showed the separation between those who approve of magic and those who don't. It's not just a given thing in this world. Many are against it, and for good reason. This divide added a complexity to this tale that I never expected.
"I love how character driven this story was. It really allowed me a mulit-perspective view of the story. Beyond that, I truly enjoyed getting to know these new characters. They quickly and easily found a place in my heart. All in all this was a fantastic story on it's own and an unforgettable addition to the Isian series.”

Why I like listen to audio books because I can clean my apartment and listen to a book being read at the same time. I also like to listen to them when I am outside walking.
I like to listen to audiobooks while I am knitting. It makes the time pass so quickly :)
I like listening to them because I can be doing more than one thing at once.
