Commanding Earth and Shadow

Grayshell Rising, Book 2

De: S. J. Barnett

Narrado por: Connor Brannigan, Nikki Grey

In a world teetering on the brink of chaos, love emerges as the ultimate battleground.

Bellamy Blackwell wants to believe in a better world. Unfortunately, the world refuses to cooperate. He thought he had nothing left to lose until an ancient evil sets its sights on Magnolia, a witch he’s been protecting from the shadows for years. He quickly realizes there are no lines he won’t cross to defend a soul still worth fighting for.

The shadows are hunting for Magnolia Green. A healer by blood, and shadow-walker by birth, Magnolia spent years fighting the darkness within, until a relentless attack ravaged her hierarchy. When Bellamy extends a protective hand, she knows better than to go it alone. What she never expected was joining forces with the legendary Commander of Grayshell.

Grayshell may have won their battle with Adrastos, but locked out of The Middle, they’re poised to lose the war…and everything that matters to Aren in the process.

In his mission to breach the chasm between hierarchies, fortify defenses, and get his people back to Grayshell before Adrastos strikes again, he didn’t expect to find love—let alone in a young healer hiding an impressive arsenal of talents. But with an inter-dimensional war on the horizon, can Aren afford to split his focus?

The fate of entire worlds hangs in the balance.

Emotional Damage 💔 In the Best Way!

Duet narration was on point again! These narrators are extremely talented and I now can't picture anyone else reading the characters.

This book is somehow even better than the first! The first book was a lot of world building with quite a bit of fight scenes with some spice to it. This book was more emotional than tons of war scenes. This book is about Aren and Magnolia mainly, but also Bellamy. I enjoyed the banter and spice which was much more here.

A really big twist that I never saw coming was made known at the end and we'll have to wait to see what happens next. THAT CLIFFHANGER ENDING THOUGH!!!
