About this listen

An unexpected duty

For 300 years, Princess Dria has avoided the drama of the royal court by training as a battle mage. When her father summons her back to court just as she begins to rise up the ranks, she's furious. Even worse, she must work with her estranged brother Ralan on a mission to Earth. But as soon as Dria arrives at Moranaia's new outpost, her brother drops the leadership of the entire place into her hands. Now she's in charge of fortifying a new outpost on a planet she's never even visited.

An abhorrent task

Prince Vek of the Unseelie has spent millennia as his father's enforcer, working in the shadows to eliminate evil, but after sparing his nephew Fen from the king's judgment, Vek must tread carefully. One false move, and he will lose the king's trust—and Fen's life. But when the king gives Vek a new, more sinister task, Fen becomes the least of his worries. The Moranaians have a new colony on Earth, and King Torek wants the energy source that's contained within. Vek must retrieve that power - even if he has to kill the Moranaian leader to get it.

A threat unknown

From the moment she catches Vek sneaking into the cavern, Dria knows the truth—the dark and mysterious prince is her soulbonded. But she's certain he's up to no good, and although she's drawn to him, there is no way she can trust him. His reputation, and that of the Unseelie in general, precedes him. Unfortunately, more than desire is awakening. As they dance around their budding attraction, Dria and Vek uncover a deathly illness lurking among the fae—and a sinister plot that will damage both their worlds.

Entire Return of the Elves series

This overall series is completely "magical"! It's well written, seamlessly performed, and written in a manner that children can even enjoy it. It has combined many different genres, including fantasy, action, and romance without using overtly crude descriptive language. People who actively listen can use their own imagination rather than needing pornographic writing. This way this series can be throughly enjoyed by most of your family, including children as young as 12 years old! (without explicit, overt sexuality.) I can guarantee that I will listen to this series multiple times. It is DEFINITELY worth your time.

I like the previous books better

I like the previous books better as the language has worsened. The F word is really over used.

Performance

The VAs are not bad, let's say 4 Stars. It's the mixing, the volume level between the two VAs are not level, ie you'll need to adjust the volume on some passages. On a positive note it has improved the last 2 book were worse in this regard.

New favorite!

I say this every time I read another book in this series but I think this is my hands down favorite. Vec (spelling?) is hot, dark, and mysterious! Awesome action scenes and romance. This book has it all.
