Blurb:

Capture his heart.

Steal his crown.

 

Noor is the unwanted, unloved third born of the Aten, chosen vessel of the sun goddess, Sol. While she has no chance at inheriting her father’s title, what she truly longs for is peace from his unrelenting hatred. Hope builds that she may finally be able to claim that reprieve when a missive arrives from the House of the Moon.

 

The new Lumin, chosen of the moon god, Lumos, seeks to broker peace with the Kingdom of Helios for the first time in ages. He envisions open trade routes and an end to archaic rivalries. His dedication to this cause extends to visions of a union between the two families by marrying one of Aten’s daughters, if one of the matches is a fit.

 

Driven by his own twisted agenda, Noor’s father is willing to sacrifice his daughters as pawns to steal the crown for him to further his despotic reign, pitting sister against sister in a brutal battle for power. But Noor must come out the victor, either by capturing the Lumin’s heart or stealing his crown. For whomever wears the crown of moonlight, holds the power of the moon itself. With such strength at her command, she could finally defeat her tyrannical father.

 

Yet this endeavor cannot be accomplished without great sacrifice. As Noor learns more about Lumin Caelum, guilt over her betrayal consumes her, burning hot as the sun itself. If only he wasn’t kind, and selfless, and exactly what she wanted. If only she had greater dominion over her heart…

 

Can Noor carry out her plan and end her father’s vile reign? Or will unlikely alliances allow a new day to dawn?

The Hidden Kingdom Release Blitz and Review

 

  

Title: The Hidden Kingdom (Kingdom of the White Sea, 3)
Author: Sarah M. Cradit
Genre: Epic Fantasy, Grimdark Fantasy, Fantasy
Cover Designer: Regina Wamba
Editor: Emily A. Lawrence
Publication Date: July 27^th, 2021
Hosted by: Lady Amber’s PR

Blurb:

The perilous and provocative world of Kingdom of the White Sea, by USA Today bestselling fantasy author Sarah M. Cradit, comes to a startling conclusion in The Hidden Kingdom.

 

A kingless crown will fall. A crownless kingdom will rise.

 

 

It all began with a desperate demand from a broken crown. Four brides. Four Reaches. Unquestionable and absolute fealty from the mothers and fathers who were given no choice but to comply. A startling sequence of events followed, with stunning repercussions that reached across the entire realm.

 

Now, the king is dead. The would-be brides have forged their own destinies—some for the better, others for worse. Not all who started this dance will finish it. Those left will wear the lingering scars with a mix of pride and remorse.

 

From his stolen throne, Oldwin rules with a hand that grows shakier by the hour, as his once unparalleled magic dwindles. His grasp on power is reliant upon his truths remaining hidden by the shadows, just beyond the reach of the fraught kingdom.

 

But Oldwin is not the only powerful sorcerer in the kingdom. There are others who would see the terrible circle of their traitorous past come to a decisive end. Their moonlight maneuvering saved the life of Dain Rhiagain, and from his line the last sprig of hope remains: a chance to save the kingdom... to save all the worlds.

 

Dain’s three children, each raised in obliviousness, must now prepare to confront the staggering truth of why they were born, and what they must now do, if the kingdom is to survive the final days ahead.

 

But theirs is not the only sacrifice required. The dying words of an old man will stir one man and his Reach toward a new destiny, one that will decide the fate of all the worlds...

My Review: The Hidden Kingdom is like falling down the rabbit hole twisting and turning like I have never known. The emotions in this story take you on a wild ride as well. I cried and laughed with the characters. It seemed so real and like I was in this realm. That speaks volumes for the writer and is the bases that makes the reading experience so much more amazing. This book was just as amazing as the first of this trilogy! 

In a world that has been turned on it's axis the love and loss that happens pulls at the heart strings. Knowing that nobody is safe and that what awaits around the next corner could be your worst nightmare. Will anything be the same again? Is going back to what was, a good idea?  Is the unknown future be just what is needed. No one's fate is truly written stone or is it? Step into this realm you won't regret it! I highly recommend the entire Kingdom of the White Sea Trilogy! 

Here is one of my favorite quotes from this book!

Foxfire in the Snow Review

 

My Review: Foxfire in the Snow is a book that is full of emotion with great adventure. I could relate to the characters and the trials and tribulations that they are going through. I found myself being totally vested in this story. Sorin is one character that is going through so much. Magda Sorin's best friend. She can be a bit obnoxious but she has Sorin's back just the same. As this story turned and twisted onto paths not traveled, the more it came alive. I highly recommend this book!

Road Trip A Rock 'N' Romance Story Review

 

My Review: Road Trip starts with a punch right from the first page and never stops. The emotions in this story are so intense and real! Abra and Kelly leave you wanting to know more about them in even the slightest of details. They make this book come alive! Taking each other to the next level in their fling that feels like so much more to me.

 Reading this book was like watching my favorite movie play out. The power of love is real in this story! I didn't want it to end but, alas the story does end however, the emotions from the story live on!

Author: Jennifer Anne Davis

Publisher: Reign Publishing

Blurb:

Fans of RED QUEEN and FALLING KINGDOMS will devour this action-packed fantasy series filled with romance and political intrigue.

 

Seventeen-year-old Rema lives in a brutal kingdom where travel between regions is forbidden, people are starving, and looking at someone the wrong way can mean death. Nineteen-year-old Darmik is the king’s son and Commander of the King’s Army. He spends his days roaming the island, doing his father’s bidding and trying to maintain control over the people.

 

When a chance encounter throws Rema and Darmik together, they share an instantaneous connection, but any sort of relationship between them is strictly forbidden. Darmik’s brother, the Crown Prince, notices Darmik’s interest in Rema and, in a calculated, political move, blackmails her. Faced with an impossible choice, Rema is forced to sacrifice her heart in order to save her family.

 

As Rema is taken to the palace with the Crown Prince, Darmik confronts the growing rumor that a legitimate blood heir to the throne exists and is trying to overthrow Darmik’s family. In Darmik’s quest to hunt down and kill the threat, he discovers that nothing is as it seems. Locked in the king’s castle, Rema finds herself a key player in a massive power struggle. When Darmik shows up, she’s not sure if she can trust him. The line between friends, enemies, and loyalty becomes blurred. As truths are unlocked, Rema understands that she just might be the key to finding the rightful heir and restoring peace to the kingdom . . . if she can manage to stay alive long enough.

You Fell First Review

My Review: Though the story is short it lacks for nothing! It has all right elements in all the right places! I watched this story play out in my mind it was wonderful. Th characters have an instant chemistry but both had rocky start. When a plan comes together it is a beautiful thing. I highly recommend this short but very full story!

 

Beyond the Veil Review

 

My Review: Beyond the Veil what an awesome prequel! I loved reading it. Meeting Gillian and Callum and finding out their story had my heart reeling. I am so excited to see where this story will go from here. This is a total must read!

Love at Owl's Roost Review

My Review: I don't usually find myself reading this genre of book but this one felt different from the start. All that I can say is wow. The amount of feels in this book is so amazing! I do not regret picking this story up and reading it. The emotions between each of the characters made my heart soar at times and angry as well. Love at Owl's Roost is just a wonderful heartwarming book that grabbed me. I am so glad I gave this book a chance!

 

Into The Woods Review

My Review: I really fell for the cover and the blurb of this book and was so enamored with it but then, I went inside the book. I struggled with the focus of which character was the focus and who was not. A few spots where the German language was spoken and there was no English translation. I don't read or speak German. Thankfully my husband does. There were places in the story where the things just did not mesh well. I wish I could say that this was a great story but it just wasn't for me.
