Publisher's summary

In a royal marriage of convenience, nothing is less convenient than love.

Princess Evaraine always knew she would one day wed a stranger, but her arranged marriage to the Prince of Garimore is nothing like she expected. She never anticipated losing her heart to the man she would marry. And she certainly would not have guessed that she’d be leaving him behind within hours of their wedding.

After the arrival of devastating news, Evaraine must make her way home in a desperate—and likely doomed—attempt to save her father. One tiny shard of hope remains, but it is a hope that requires her to face the darkness alone. Far from anyone familiar or beloved. Far from the man she knows will never return her love.

But she has no choice. There is no one else to fight for the people she was born to lead…no one but the most unlikely ally imaginable.

Prince Danric of Garimore has endured the dissolution of everything he thought he knew and found himself at a crossroads where only one certainty remains—if he cannot save the woman he has pledged his life to, every other victory will seem hollow.

But how can he convince her to trust him? Forgive him? How can he even find her when she seems determined to hide?

Time is running out, and the fate of all Abreia may rest with two wary hearts afraid to trust in the one thing that could save them both.

If you love adventure, mystery, and enemies-to-lovers romance, don’t miss Legends of Abreia, a romantic fantasy series for fans of Elise Kova, Sylvia Mercedes, and Shari L. Tapscott!

Very entertaining!

The story was fun and interesting, the characters had depth and were well developed, and the reader did a good job. I would recommend the book and the series to anyone who enjoys an adventurous and pure romance. The whole series is very refreshing.

Pacing was SO SLOW

Most of her other books have been great. But I thought the inner dialogues of these characters would drive me insane. Too much repetition.

Mostly just whining and self doubt

The previous books in this series I liked well enough (especially the first two). This one though felt like the author couldn't come up with enough words so just repeated over and over "i don't know how he feels about me, I can't tell him I love him, what if he rejects me?" Followed by the dude thinking the exact same thing. This self-doubt inner monologue between the two main characters was non-stop. Very little actually happened besides that. Wait, I take it back, there was an abnormal amount of tears and crying. Someone was ALWAYS crying.

I get that these books are written for a younger audience and I totally respect that, but that can be done while still feeling realistic. Two adults at this age would not be acting like 12-year-olds and their first crush. The whole book was painful to get through.
