BLURB
After the loss of a friend and false imprisonment in an Eleysian dungeon, Cyrene has no interest in destiny. Her heart was shattered, friends scattered, and her home is nothing but a pretty illusion. Even her magic won’t cooperate. When all seems lost, she turns to the one person she never thought that she would trust:
Prince Kael.
His darkness mirrors a growing force lurking within her. A struggle she never imagined threatens to consume her. And as friends and foes begin to show their true colors, she starts questioning whether anyone is who they seem. Even herself.
The
Consort is book three of K.A. Linde's The Ascension Series. Far from a standalone, you will need to read
the first two books before diving into this epic tale. Follow this heroine after my own heart…”It smelled like fresh parchment and ink,
and Cyrene loved the place on sight. It was like stepping into the library,
knowing the worlds she could venture into were limitless.” And this is a series of limitless worlds…
Told
in third person from multiple points of view, the dialogue flows remarkably
well in spite of the complexity of the story line & movement from one
characters perspective to the next.
Expect multiple journeys, taking you to “…worlds beyond our own,”.
Characters are pushed to the brink & face unrelenting obstacles
between dark & light, good & evil.
“Broken and hopeless and never
able to be put back together.” So
many defining moments “You choose your
destiny.”. The introduction of new
twists, new allies, friends & foes, along with unexpected reunions. Love triangles leaving you torn between who
should be with whom. “I do love her.
Desperately, unequivocally, maddeningly so…” “He
could never have enough of this woman. Not ever.” Betrayal upon betrayal & oh my gosh,
SO MUCH DEATH – take care who you get attached to! One step closer to revealing the truth &
uncertain futures. An epic tale, be
prepared for a dedication of time to this lengthy read that will leave you
ready for more! “Time was a wily beast. It stole. It destroyed. It healed.”
So
well written, I love the way Linde works in mini recaps to refresh our memories
regarding important background. I love the truly fierce friendships that have
been developing throughout the series. And
how the characters themselves have grown into their own – “…you can make your own destiny. Your life is not predetermined.” I’m simply addicted to this world of magic,
power & love… “A love story that
broke the world,”
“In times of hardship, the world needs a dreamer with their
gaze cast to the stars to right the wrongs of this limited existence.”
