Publisher's Summary

A deathbed promise.

Arlyn's quest is simple: Find her father and let him know her mother is dead. After all, Arlyn had promised her mother she'd go. The problem? Her father's people are myths and legends, and he doesn't even live on Earth. But despite a long journey through the mysterious mists of the Veil, finding him turns out to be the easy part.

A dream long buried.

After 500 years, Kai has given up on finding his soulbonded. So when he stumbles across Arlyn after returning from his latest mission and recognizes her as his mate, Kai starts their bond in haste. But he never could have imagined that his bonded is his best friend's newfound daughter. Whoops.

A hidden conspiracy sparked to life.

Though the sight of Kai makes Arlyn's heart pound, she isn't sure she can forgive him for starting their bond without her permission. But her love life is the least of her problems. Her father is an elf lord, and his sudden acknowledgment of a half-human heir reignites the same conspiracy that took him away from her mother in the first place. Now Arlyn and her family must face iron-wielding assassins, bigotry, and her newly awakened magical abilities if they hope to come through in one piece.

Arlyn thought she would return to Earth after meeting her father. Now she must fight to save the family she never knew she wanted.

Book was good

I thought the book was good but found the female narrator a bit irritating they way she portrayed the female character. Reminded me of an old lady.

I like fantasy so it's easy to like

listened to it in one day while completing data entry for work ... really like this but it's my type of story... let's me get away from the real world and easy to listen to

Good story but narrators ruined it

I genuinely liked the story, there were afew predictable things but the main plot was still pretty good, with some funny and wholesome moments. I think I'll listen to the next book too.

I just didn't like either of the narrators, especially the guy, his voice could be hard to understand and hard to distinguish different characters. The woman's voice was better but still annoying, she over exaggerated the main characters voice, making a fully grown woman sound like a whiny teenager.

Enjoyed this more than expected

As much as I love fantasy, I do worry that many "elvish" stories might be a bit cliché... but this was not that.

I enjoyed the male/female narrative from the different viewpoints, and both narrators had lovely voices - though I can understand if this wasn't everyone's cup of tea.

The story could almost stand on its own. I don't *need* to read book 2 - though I will, as I enjoyed the story and the characters.

Arlyn and Kai

Arlyn is Lyr’s daughter, from an earthly alliance with Amy Moore, her mother.
Her mother dies and sends Arlyn to find her father, in the land of Fae.
Kai is returning from a task for Lyr, and is sleep deprived and hungry.
He sees Arlyn and knows she is his Life Mate and starts the bond by giving her his necklace, so he can at least find her again in the future.
Kai has no idea, Arlyn is his friends daughter, but it is too late to retreat.
There is many inter family connections that crop up, which bring in new characters, that are important as the series continues.

Enjoyable

Was a nice listen, especially because the story is not heavy handed on the romance like a lot of other fantasy books
