Once upon a time, in a parallel universe, there existed the continent of Triton....

The prophecy has begun. The Beast has been stirred. And Triton is in turmoil.

Our four warriors and four witches, destined mates, have begun their adventure, knowing the fate of their world is at stake, but not having any idea there are other factions plotting against them.

Now they face political intrigues, religious zealotry, father against son, wife against husband, a mother’s plotting, a sister’s envy, grief, betrayal, and despair as the prophesied journey across the sands of Firenze into the lush green of Wodell.

The lovers are united, but their stories have just begun. They know the battle ahead will be a fierce one they cannot lose.

What they don’t know is a diabolical plan has commenced....

And no one is safe.

What happened to the strong FMCs??

This second book is driving me crazy! What happened to all of the strong female leads who knew their minds and could speak their words? As soon as any of their overbearing men so much as look at them, they become mindless swooning nitwits. I don't know if I'll be able to finish this book, much less buy the next books in the series.
And what's the point of having 4 separate couples if they're basically all covering the same trope of "I'm a worthy woman but I won't speak my mind when this man tries to push me around and instead of meaningful communication and mutual growth, I will stew silently. I also won't ask anything of this man OR talk to my fellow women going through similar issues and instead remain hurt, upset and confused."
AND "I'm the man who knows everything and don't have to include this woman in any decision making or even care about basic needs. And I definitely won't stop to think that maybe the woman might need support while acclimating to this totally unfair power differential."
UGH

OMG

This book is so good that I cannot wait until the next installment. Kristen just gets better and better

Amazing narration!

Amazing story and amazing narration. The characters and events are described in such a way that I feel connected to each characters and event. The narration makes it event better. This book is a perfect example of why books are better than film.

An amazing continuation!

I absolutely loved this continuation to The Beginning of Everything! I'm still 100% hooked on each of these couples. I love following each of them throughout this story. Each of their struggles is unique and interesting, but I really enjoyed watching the friendships that developed throughout this part of the story.

I am also becoming more and more invested in the story of the beast. As I fall more and more for these characters, my need to see the traitors and the beast brought to justice grows. I need to see good win over evil, but I think there is going to be a lot more heartache before we see that as a possibility. My emotions are as high as my need for book three. I can't wait to listen to the rest of this series!

The narration for these books is excellent. I really enjoy the accents, and having a full cast is incredibly helpful in keeping the characters straight! These narrators bring all the drama and emotion of these stories through perfectly!

AMAZING!!!!!

This was a non stop listen for me. I devoured this. i am on the edge till the 21st when the next comes out!!
Everything is so descriptive & lovely. The narrators do SUCH A FANTASTIC JOB! I was entertained & am in love with all the characters.
