The Unseen

A Novella of the Elder Races

De: Thea Harrison

Narrado por: Sophie Eastlake

From New York Times best-selling author Thea Harrison comes the first in an explosive new quartet of stories set in the Elder Races world…. Dragos and Pia are back by popular vote!

This story ends in a cliffhanger.

Saying goodbye to their old life in the Wyr demesne in New York may be hard, but Dragos and Pia are determined to create a new life in the Other land of Rhyacia.

At first, everything seems idyllic. Rhyacia is paradisiacal. Accompanied by old friends and new allies, the future looks safe and bright for Dragos, Pia, and baby Niall.

But strange things are happening beneath the picturesque façade. Items move unaccompanied, buildings collapse without justifiable cause, and even the most powerful residents of Rhyacia can provide no logical explanation for the events transpiring. Whispered rumors point to something called the unseen.

As Dragos and Pia investigate, they uncover a greater mystery than they could have imagined, and they realize the startling truth....

They’re not alone in Rhyacia. The land Dragos had thought was uninhabited hides many secrets, a shocking history that’s not quite ready to be buried, and something more.

Something ancient, evil, and hungry. Something that wants to consume Dragos and take everything he holds dear.

Something that just may be powerful enough to overcome the dragon....

This is book one in a series of four connected novellas. The first three books in this set will end in cliffhangers.

great start of story that costs too much

Hooray for more Pia and Dragos, but this is Book 1 of 4 of a new series arc, and this ends in a cliffhanger. I like what I heard of the story in this first part, but I am not happy with the thought of a single whole story costing me 10.46 x 4 for a total of 41.84.
ARE YOU KIDDING ME?
Has the publisher lost touch with reality? Like a tanking economy where more and more readers are on an ever tightening budget?!?!
Book lost a star for price.
Eastlake does a great job of narration.

OH! MY! GOD!!!!!!

I submit my stars but only about 3 times in the 700 or so books I have listened to have I written anything. The progression of so many characters within a short period of time...nothing rushed but complete detailed. The last 5 minutes were amazing, I do t know when this series has last taken me here (trying to convey this must read without spoiling). I can’t wait for the next installment

Love! Love! Love!

When Thea told us she was stepping away from Dragos & Pia, I think we collectively mourned her decision. They haunted her into revealing more of their story so strongly that the American Witch subset of the Elder Races universe was put on hold midstream. Dragos won’t be ignored, lol.

Yes, there’s a cliffhanger but it plays out like a season finale. It’s wildly different from what we’re accustomed to yet absolutely perfect. Can’t wait for the next round to see what happens!

You know I think Sophie Eastlake is perfect so I won’t go into a long winded speech about her but, yeah...perfect.

questions

The first quarter of this new short story series starts off absolutely great. It hits the ground running and just gets better and better. Then it hits the cliff and i'm screaming "No! don't stop now!!!" i'm glad that Thea is planning to pump the rest out quickly, but even a month waiting time is going to be agony. LOL woe is me.
Now the book is awesome buuuut, while i was listening to it a couple questions came up about Pea for me. 1. What exactly is Pea actually planning to do while living in Ryeasa? Don't get me wrong i know motherhood is a hard full time job at first, but it will only last for a few years before it's little more than making sure Nial didn't kill anyone that day. What is she planning to do with the rest of her long long life? She doesn't seem all that interested in co rulership sense she either ignores or actively avoids anyone who wants to talk to her about the daily problems with running a new country. On the other hand i can't really see Pea being happy as just a Socialite. The obvious job for her is of course healer. buuuut, Dragos would never allow that cause the temptation to use her blood would be a daily struggle. 2. Is Pea learning to use her magic? Honestly before this book all i thought Pea could do was change shape and give blood to people. But in the book she made a witch light, so is she learning to use her magic? What else could she do with it? could she learn to heal that way? Sigh i will probably get my answers if i just (ahem) hold my horses and wait. buuuut it's soooooo hard T_T

Really looking forward to seeing Thea's twist on this ancient story,

excellent!

I love every book by thea harrison!!!I am looking forward to listening to dracos story when it becomes available!

Love the Elder Races

So so so glad we get more of the elder races. Love all the characters and so glad to see them all again.

The Gang is All Back

I love Novelas by this author. As a library, science major, she has reams of information she can draw on. Plus she has a great imagination. I love an author, who can write a short story, because that truly takes talent to entertain. The author says that this ends in a cliffhanger, but I listen to a tale for entertainment, narrated by the great Sophie, Eastlake, a.k.a. Julia Whelan. Her male voices are wonderful since 2014. I tend to view stories, not with a cliffhanger, but with a preview of the next book. This book has stinkpot, a.k.a. Niall and you’ll have to read the book to know what his wonderful weire form is. I can’t get enough of that character. I think I’ve managed to purchase most, if not all of Miss Harrison’s books on audible, but I just have not had a chance to listen to them all. I seem to favor the short stories as they move so quickly.
Were my comments of help?

love it

As always, I loved it.
I have enjoyed all the Elder Races books. I was excited to find The Unseen and started listening right away.

Cliffhanger be da!!ed

I loved this. It did NOT go anywhere predictable. It was all Pia and Dragos and just what I needed. I’m a fan of Sophie Eastlake’s performance as well. I knew a cliffhanger was coming, but ohhhhh what a cliffhanger it was. Now I’m just waiting for the next episode. (Really wish this was a tv show. Lol) talk about binge-worthy!

Another great Elder novella

As a long time fan of this series this book is like many in the series. The one exception is the cliff hanger. Not really a fan of those and usually if an author leaves me with a cliff hanger I stop and don’t buy anymore of that authors books. But I will buy Thea Harrison’s books.
