About this listen

A lady without a purpose

After the death of her soulbonded 20 years ago, Lynia has struggled to find her place. Her son, Lyr, has the estate well in hand, and there are no pressing duties for her to attend. Aside from keeping peace between their many visitors and ignoring her growing attraction to the cranky healer, her days blur into uncomfortable monotony. Not even her work doing research brings much excitement. Then an unexpected prophesy shoves her into sudden action - and the healer’s company - as a plague threatens all she holds dear.

A healer without hope

For nearly five centuries, Lial has treated injured warriors and residents around Braelyn, but not even the small friendships he has formed can fill the increasing loneliness of his life. Worse, he made the mistake of falling in love with Lynia, who still mourns the soulbonded she lost. He buries himself in work to avoid her, but it seems the gods have other plans. According to his seer cousin, a new disease is coming, one capable of killing elves and fae alike. Lial’s only hope? Working with Lynia to find a cure.

An ancient threat

While fighting to ignore their attraction, Lial and Lynia must search for answers. Deep in Moranaia’s history, there are murmurs of such a plague, but finding the details is no easy matter - especially when a mysterious assassin strikes near the heart of Braelyn. As Lyr hunts for the traitor, Lial and Lynia scramble to unlock the mystery of the virus. But the two events may be more related than they realize, and failure can bring only one thing - death.

I started with book 8 as an offer for the title appeared in my feed. I was so taken by the storyline and the characters I had to listen to all of the series and will begin again on this book. Solace and awakening are my very favourites but on the whole the fantasy and the many links between worlds and fairy realms is fascinating as well as realistic in terms of relationships .. I would encourage anyone to try if you love fantasy and the fae.

Fabulous series

I struggled to finish this book. I’m not sure whether I was over the series or I felt the story was going nowhere.
Linnea worked in the archives to find a cure for the blood disease.
Lyle cured people.
Maddie is working with her magic, with Lyle.
Leona, Fens mother is still alive, but comatose for 500 years - I don’t think so!,,,
I’ve heard it said, “If only I knew then what I know now”…
Linea didn’t hear that one.
