Publisher's summary

My name is Larkspur, and I am an Elemental.

My people use the power of the earth to sustain life and defy our enemies. I am the half-breed bastard child of a king. I was not meant to survive the trials cast my way. Yet, here I stand.

The world has deteriorated in the years I was banished. The Elemental families are rife with deception, violence, and madness more than ever before.

A voice I know all too well calls me to do her bidding. A voice I no longer wish to hear. The mother goddess begs me to save the four families, and stop my nemesis. To do it, I must face each of the Elemental leaders and take from them the power they hold close: the stones I once entrusted to them.

Now, the secrets I unearth as I pursue the stones shatter everything I know about my world, and everything I was taught.

Yet, I am not the naïve girl I once was. If I am to see this through, I must completely embrace the new reality of my life and all its obstacles while forging ahead.

Four stones abused.

Four families broken.

A half-breed princess as their only hope.

Through it all, the one I love waits for me to find him. When I do, will he, like everything else in my world, not be what he once was?

Amazing as always

Every book in this series has kept me coming back for more, eager for more. I love how characters we haven't heard from in a while come back and are important to the story line.

The narration is great and the characters are made distinct with her voice. They do not blend together at all which makes it even easier to keep listening.

I received a free audio book in return for an honest review.

Can't trust anybody

Great follow up I hate all that time Peta and Lark lost together. I would recommend resding the rylee adamson books before this one but you don't have too, none of the concept is lost. It us hard to figure out whom to trust even your own self!!

This Series just keeps getting better

The twists and turns in the book kept me coming back for more. Can't wait for more of Peta and Lark.

Lark always breaks my heart

Lark has such a hard life and yet always chooses to protect the ones she loves or to do the right thing. It is heart breaking to see her suffer for the greater good and on the other hand puts certain small issues of daily life in perspective. I just love this series. Albeit not for the conventional reasons. Lark and peta are such a strong force and I love listening to their banter. What a great story, again

Not sure what more to say I love this series!

It's hard to write reveiws on a series as it seems so repetitive but it's a great series and I am up to the 7th book. I couldn't follow the 6th book "ASH" so I returned it and moved to the 7th! Great storyline!

Whoa!

There was a lot happening in this story, as I figured there would be. Larkspur is on a mission and let’s just say, this one is a monster of a mission. The tables turn on her more than once, and with that turning table, comes the reality of it all. The missing pieces she never knew where there. The things she couldn’t quite put her finger on.... it’s quite the conundrum....

But as always, where there’s a will, Lark will find a way. The worlds fate lay at her feet, and in order to fix what’s broken, some people may fall.

Life or limb, it’s all up to Lark to fix it.

Man oh man

I just want to say that I love Lark. She always gets the short end of the stick but this only makes her stronger. She has literally gone through the gauntlet and perseveres through it all. This is set after Rylee Adamson novels and though it isn’t required i do recommend reading them. This book answers so many question we have been needing. I’m here for it all and can’t wait to read and hear more!
