Publisher's summary

For 17-year-old Elena Watkins, the world of Paegeia is not finished revealing all its secrets. During a summer break intended for relaxation, she discovers that her harrowing adventure to retrieve the King of Lion sword wasn't the destiny foretold by the cryptic Viden, a dragon with the ability to see a person's true fate. The words inked onto the page of the mysterious Book of Shadows remains black, and Elena must return to Dragonia Academy to discover their true meaning.

Upon her return to the magnificent castle, she has to face a challenge of a different kind - keeping her boyfriend, Lucian McKenzie, the Prince of Tith and love of her life, away from the dangerous new student, Paul Sutton. As a Wyvern, Paul has made it his mission to claim Elena as his rider, but he is proving to be more perilous than at first glance. Everyone knew that Wyverns were bad news and just as evil as the darkness lurking inside Blake Leaf, the Rubicon, who is forced to fight against his inner nature every day. But Elena can see a small light in the darkness, a destiny still unfulfilled, to prove that Wyverns can be claimed.

It has potential, I'm blaming the editor

I see talent in the writing but there are newbie issues (no I have no idea how many the author has written, just an opinion). For one, it needs to decide on an audience. The story line and easy read suggests preteen-early teens yet throws in cursing and sex like trying for a 20+ audience. Then they will be talking in one place then turn around and be in another making it hard to picture or follow. I'll think, 'wait what?' and go back to see if I missed them walking somewhere else but nope. And then in the middle it like, re-explained characters & the story like it was a new book and we had to be reminded? I'm guessing it's an audible thing, like the book was actually released in peices maybe?

Not an Author, just an Avid reader

Pretty Good. Could be better

I keep waiting on something to develop between Elaina and Blake. There are plenty of hints that something is coming between then but after awhile its like, Come on already!

Actually really good...

If you can get past all the teenage angst and "wanting" that goes on (this is YA for sure), the storyline is actually pretty well rounded and more complex than I thought it would be (and the narration is great). As a former librarian, I've read my fair share of books and have developed a knack for figuring out the storyline ahead of time. This one kept me guessing though! Well done author - very thankful I'll be able to jump right into the next one!

Excellent!

I enjoyed this so much that I couldn't wait to listen to the next book in the series right away! I would definitely recommend!

What a awesome radio well done to tantor and the author this was my first radio book and I just loved it

Even better!

This sequel was even better then the first! I am so hooked.
The tears I cried were well spent but now I have so many questions I’m bursting! You can catch me up all night listening to #3 😇

I’m on to book number 3

This book was amazing I’m literally going to the next book! The first book was amazing as well! I love the mystery , the dragons, the twists. It’s really good!

There’s a novella at the start

Sort of important to know, because 6 chapters in there’s a complete recap and it gets super redundant. HOWEVER this book is so worth it. I always see twists coming, like always, and this book pulled one over on me three times at the end.

There is a marked improvement over the writing style in the first book, it’s clear that the author has hit her stride.

The first chapter has a weird pitch-shift downward at the very start and it was almost enough for me to call off the series if it had continued into chapter 2. It didn’t.

love this series!

I loved this book. I couldn't put it down! the characters are amazing and I love the storyline.
