Publisher's summary

This is the boxed set of books 4-6 in the highly rated Baine Chronicles Series by New York Times best-selling author Jasmine Walt. This kick-ass urban fantasy series has been compared to books by Ilona Andrews, Patricia Briggs, Karen Marie Moning, and more. You're sure to enjoy it if you like spunky heroines, kick-ass fight scenes, wild new worlds, and sizzling, slow-building romance.

Book Four: Marked by Magic

With the rebellion now in full swing, shifter-mage hybrid Sunaya Baine has no time for distractions. She must find out the true identity of the Benefactor and pull the plug on the Resistance's funding before they succeed in their grand plans for genocide and destruction.

But the heat is upon Sunaya now, and it demands to be sated. And since the Resistance has marked her for death, she can no longer walk freely among the very people she is trying to save. Death, danger, and desire hem Sunaya in on all sides, and with her friends caught up in their own problems, she cannot truly count on anyone except herself.

Does Sunaya have what it takes to wrangle her unruly shifter instincts and embrace her heritage as a mage once and for all? Or will she succumb to the forces around her and finally lose her way?

Book Five: Betrayed by Magic

For most women, being newly engaged to the love of your life is a time of celebration. But Sunaya's happiness is overshadowed by loss. Her friends have not returned from their quest to bring back Noria, and though the Resistance has been beaten back, they are far from vanquished.

When the Minister sends Sunaya and Iannis to destroy an important Resistance stronghold, Sunaya is torn between the desire to help her friends and defend her country. But soon she finds that the two are not as unrelated as she imagined... and in order to accomplish both, she must put her trust in a man who has betrayed her.

Book Six: Deceived by Magic

If Sunaya and Iannis thought there would be time to rest after returning from their last mission, they are sorely mistaken. The Minister sends them to face off with yet more dangerous enemies - this time in a lawless port in remote Garai, where pirates and slavers thrive, and everyone is fair game.

To hide their undercover mission, Sunaya and Iannis travel to Garai as official guests to a state funeral. But Sunaya's luck runs out when she finds out her father is on the guest list and, worse, runs straight into him and his family. For now her deadly secret is safe. But once they discover her true identity, they may not be willing to suffer her alive....

I love this set of books

The main character is a very strong but emotional person. I really appreciate the author not making her feeble and completely dependant on others to survive. can't wait to listen to book 7

Best one yet

Thought the book was great. Wish she could have explored more of a relationship w/father once she found him. Like that this is a different kind of fantasy book & not like the traditional vampire books.

Loved it

I was a bit sceptical with the first chapter but am glad I pushed through. Once I went on, I did not want to put it down.

Wonderful Distraction

I have enjoyed the series so far. I think books 1-4 should really all be 1 book though. The story felt like it finally came to a satisfying place after book 4. Not a finished place, but a satisfying one. I stand by what I said in my review of books 1-3, I am glad I purchased them in the "boxed" sets instead of individually. Listening to them one at a time would have left me disappointed but as a group they flow very well from one to the next and keep my attention. I am never bored and always wanting more. I hope the next books in the series get "boxed" so I can finish it up!

Loved it!

Yes, I'm really enjoying this series, I love bad-ass women that stick up for what they believe in, especially when it's for the greater good, I wish I had half her courage and I love her cheekiness lol

just gets better!!!

there is a lot of growth in these books truly love the series. The frist 3 books are a little slow but its worth it.

Loved it!

I loved this book! Can't wait to listen to more of this series! Great narrator!

Even better than first three.

I liked this second set better than the first three! And for anyome bothered by the rapey vibe of book one thats pretty well nom existant in books 4 through 6.

Loved the books

Could not get a better combination between writer and reader. The writing is superb and totally life like. The reading is on que. I listen the these books to help relax.

Disappointing

I guess I agree with previous reviews, describing the shallow unchanging nature of the main character. Endless repetitive angst and handwringing over the same issues. In addition to the angry, petulant, spoiled teenager behavior. Never changing and never growing out of it.
