Description
The night Claire Tanith's small village is attacked, her mother sends her alone into the cursed forest, the one she'd been forbidden to enter all her life with these mysterious words: 'They will protect you.'
On the run from her attackers, she soon finds the forest is not as abandoned as she'd once thought.
Beautiful and elegant, the elves seem to be everything the legends said they would be. But legends sometimes forget the true history of things and Claire's eyes are soon opened to a world she never knew. One that has been kept from her for most of her life. All Claire wants to do is return home and start looking for her mother, the only family she ever had. But the elves have different plans. The mysterious mark that appeared on her arm isn't a curse, at least not to them anyway, and before she knows it, she is whisked away on a mission she never agreed to, unless they help her in return.
Now she is stuck on an adventure with the perverted elf, Aeron, and one with an attitude, Farron. But there is more to this adventure than she'd ever hoped for.

4By thatbookfiendFirst off, the book was great, hence my review, but the ending feels too abrupt. The story was still going strong until they made the abrupt change in character with the general. I liked the ending, but I feel as though we should have been more eased into it. Overall, the book was great! I loved the development of Ferran’s character and the book starts off with a bang, grabbing my attention from the start. I couldn’t put it down!Loved it!
5By RabarreI can’t wait to read the next book of this series!! I couldn’t put the book downFalls short
2By Cybill•The plot had good potential, but the characters just seemed immature and flat. The romance didn’t have any depth to me.Mixed
3By JifieurididiThis book is just the kind that I usually like an adventure with some romance as well. Unfortunately the dynamics and interaction between the characters really took away from much of the enjoyment. The elves that she travels with ‘tease’ Clair and I don’t think the author realizes how degrading it comes off. Reading about how they belittle her and have it minimized is unfortunate. Clair reacts to this belittling with temper tantrums. She comes off as childish. I am looking for mutual respect in the romance that I read and this story fell very short of this expectation.Conflicting
4By Blue LaneI actually enjoyed the story and some of the characters. However, like some of the negative reviews, the main character was so frustrating and self centered. Spoiler: The elves had pointed out that the general was suspicious and Claire ignored their warnings. She excused his bad behavior. As much as I like justice desserts, Claire almost dying was a bit much. It literally took her almost dying to realize Farron was on her side and liked her!Dithering
1By SpazztasticHoboWay too much chatter. It drags on with too much detail about things that don’t need to be talked about. I couldn’t make it farther than the part where they’re leaving for their mission. Makes me want to flip through the pages til I get to the point.Amazing!
5By R.LeannDon’t listen to any bad review about this book! One of the best I’ve ever read!!! ❤️🙏🏼Poorly written ...
1By meronenAnd poorly plotted. Impossible to enjoy.I really enjoyed reading this book
5By KeithbornmannI really like the main characters. They were developed well. The plot was interesting and believable. This author had me hooked from the beginning. I couldn't put it down. I look forward to reading the next book.Vapid main character that you will grow to despise
1By This GalWordy, poorly developed characters. Main character is arrogant, simpering, self centered, idiot. Character’s voices are confusing and inconsistent. Where is the editor? Horrible, boring story.
