Of Mischief and Mages

A Forgotten Kingdoms Standalone

By: LJ Andrews

Narrated by: Tim Campbell, Stina Nielsen

A mage with deadly magic. A royal thief fading to a curse. A forgotten love that will unravel their world.

When Adira's crook of a boss sends her to a Las Vegas casino as one of his goons, her world turns upside down and she's tossed through the gates of a strange, dangerous world of mage courts and curses.

Disoriented and convinced she's in a twisted afterlife, Adira is overtaken and robbed by a band of highwaymen whose seductive leader stirs something in her soul.

Soon, royal guards rescue her and believe her to be a powerful blood mage, prophesied to protect the kingdom. While dining with the mage prince, his drunken stepbrother stumbles in, and Adira recognizes him as the thief who ambushed her in the forest.

As their forgotten pasts intertwine, Adira and a thieving prince may be the only ones who can unravel a spreading degeneration of the mage kingdom, but enemies of old are rising and it will become a battle between spell casters where one wears the crown and the prize for the rest is death.

This is a standalone dark fantasy romance with slow burn morally gray soulmates, forced proximity, epic found family, and spice.

Forgotten Kingdoms is a collection of full-length standalone fantasy romance novels with soulmates and a guaranteed happily ever after. With vampires, fae, shifters, and everything in between, each book features a unique heroine and her epic love story that can be enjoyed in any order.

Great read!

I am a huge fan of LJ Andrews so had to pick this up. I haven’t read any other books on this series but feel like I may have to try. I’m more into huge world building and this book as a stand alone just wasn’t enough. Maybe reading all of the books in this series will give me that. Andrews is brilliant with character interactions and banter. I wasn’t a huge fan of the female narrator for this but loved the two narrator POV.

A good story

If this book is a standalone from the rest of the series, I would imagine the rest of them are just as good. I'm really trying not to put any spoilers in this review because it would be really easy. Here is a spoiler-free review of this story. Imagine if you had the love of your life and you knew somebody was going to kill them. Imagine all you had to do was sacrifice yourself and wake up in the human world from the mage world. Would you do it to save your true love? Reading this book you'll get an answer to the question and you'll get an answer as to what it's like to go from one world to the other world. This story has depth to it through the characters' stories which get even deeper before the end of the story. Each character storyline is interwoven with the other character storylines. It was a really good story which will keep you guessing until the end. I've never read anything by this author before and now I want to see what else they've written. Enjoy the story.

Good story!

This is my second read from LJ Andrews and I enjoyed this one just as much as the first! I was very glad it had a full conclusion in the book. I was captivated the entire book and picked up on the hints to the plot which I was excited for! I was worried it wouldn't answer everything in the small amount of time I had left of the book but glad they wrapped it clearly up! A great stand alone and can't wait to try the others in this series!

great story writing and narration

I swear this author can take any plot and theme and create a world that completely engulfs your imagination and emotions. In fairness, the masterpiece could have been ruined if narrated improperly or by less talented people so credit needs to be added there as well. Honestly didnt want to stop listening and was sad when it was over. great read. would recommend.

Love!!

Two hours into this book and I was already sad to know that it would end. I absolutely loved this story and the characters. I can’t say enough good things about this book.
