Publisher's Summary

A lost prince

Between years surviving on the streets and an ill-advised stint with Kien’s group of half-blood fae, Fen has seen his fair share of darkness. Sure, he helped capture Kien and put an end to the trouble he caused, but his actions contributed to one of the greatest upheavals of all - the return of magic to Earth. Now, Fen’s mother has named him the heir to the Unseelie throne, and he has discovered he has two mates he is unworthy to claim.

A deadly healer

The daughter of a Seelie artisan and a human woman, Maddy can’t find anyone among her father’s people willing to teach her to heal without causing harm. But finally, she has hope - a healer on Moranaia has agreed to help her. The problem? Maddy will have to travel to their world, leaving her girlfriend, Anna, unprotected on Earth. For the return of magic has awakened Anna’s latent water abilities, and the temptation of the nearby river could prove too much without Maddy near.

A canny enemy

When a slip of the tongue reveals that Fen could share a mate bond with both Maddy and Anna, all three must come to terms with their insecurities - and quickly. The poison they believed eradicated has appeared again, and Meren, the traitorous Seelie noble who had once worked with Kien, has returned from hiding. Together, Anna, Fen, and Maddy might be able to defeat the rising threat. But first, they must conquer their pasts.

Love love love this one!

Taking (most) of the action to Earth, and bringing a whole new tangle of peril and politics, “Awakening” gives the spotlight to the young half-bloods. Family, history, pride and prejudice - and utterly relatable protagonists - this was a nail biter but also a bit of a refresher, reminding me that the here and now is always coloured by what went before.

Return of the Elves Series

Since this is the last included book in the series can't say anything bad about it since I listened from book 1. I enjoyed this series I found it interesting how the author switched main characters from book to book but I found they got better and better. It's a fantasy book so if you're into fantasy then give these books a try!

Loved this book.

I love the series. I dont want it to end but I cant stop from listening. Bethany does a fantastic job of creating and developing her Fae realm and I love it. Her creatures are believeable.

The narration is perfect. Im looking forward to more.
