Synopsis: 
Growing up on a small farm in the kingdom of Vanguard, seventeen-year-old Layla Givens lives a deceptively tranquil existence. But her carefully constructed life quickly falls apart when she’s abducted by a religious zealot who proclaims her The Fulfillment of an ancient peace prophecy and whisks her away to marry her greatest enemy.

Wilhelm, Prince of the Ethereals, is reluctant to meet his new bride. He’s grown up believing Vanguards are evil, an enemy to fight and fear…not love. Can he set aside his prejudices and work alongside Layla to bring lasting peace after centuries of war? 

Nash, a loner who has never fit in, carries a huge secret, one big enough to destroy both kingdoms. When he accidently meets Layla, he’s no longer content to live in the shadows, but he must resist his growing attraction–for her safety and for the longevity of the two kingdoms. 

When Nash’s secret is revealed, a firestorm sweeps through both realms, with Layla at the center. Now she must choose between duty and desire while the fate of two nations hangs in the balance.

My Review of Book 1:

I’ve read the first book of this series in less than a day. I couldn’t put it down and while reading it, I was making scenarios on how everything would end. But to my surprise, none of my predictions came out to be true! You’ll love it, I’m sure of that!

The story is full of mystery. Believers and nonbelievers gather to decide the fate of two rival kingdoms and hope for peace or war. The road is not an easy one and is full of unexpected turns, enemies becoming friends, lovers or even related. I will not get into the details of the story as the blurb is enough to convince you. Still I must say that this book has a lot of action and the reader will not get bored while turning the pages.

Moving to characters, Lyla seems to have the fate of the two kingdoms in her hands, even if she struggles to have faith in her role. She looks a little bit naïve, always surrounded by her brothers and protected by her family. We get to know only one of her siblings more, Samson spends most of the book trying to get his sister out of the Prophecy. The differences between the two princes of Etherea are well presented: one of them is a diplomat, while the other spends his time away from the kingdom’s responsibilities.

I can’t wait to finish the series, as I would like to learn more of Samson’s whereabouts and also to shed some light upon the ending of book one. I did not quite understand the final part.

So this was an interesting read, with action, good characters and a lot of twists. I hope you’ll enjoy it just as much as I did. Please come back and let me know what you thought of it.

About Erin Rhew

Erin Rhew

Erin Rhew is an editor, a running coach, and the author of The Fulfillment Series. Since she

picked up Morris the Moose Goes to School at age four, she has been infatuated with the

written

word. She went on to work as a grammar and writing tutor in college and is still teased by her

family and friends for being a member of the “Grammar Police.”

A Southern girl by blood and birth, Erin now lives in a rainy pocket of the Pacific Northwest with

the amazingly talented (and totally handsome) writer Deek Rhew and their “overly

fluffy,” patient-as-a-saint writing assistant, a tabby cat named Trinity. She and Deek enjoy

reading aloud to one another, running, lifting, boxing, eating chocolate, and writing side-by-

side.
