Book Description
Elior of Lempara, the crown prince of fae folk, wakes on the ground and realizes he’s in the human realm—and has no idea how he got there. He remembers his father pointing his staff and a blinding light, but other than that, nothing. Elior needs a portal home, but where is the portal? For the time being, it looks like Elior is stuck in Brooklyn. When mercenaries come after him, the prince becomes entangled with an unsuspecting changeling. Elior and Alex put their heads together to find a portal back to the fae realm and evade the dangerous trio hunting them. However, it’s difficult navigating an unfamiliar world where Elior does not belong. He seeks a human with knowledge of the supernatural, and despite Elior’s protests over dark magic, the pair settle for a witch. Before he finds the portal back, Elior must decide: is he the person he was before losing his memory or has the human realm changed him into someone else? Editorial reviews: A highly compelling read, and one that I would recommend. The action and adventure are continuous throughout Elior: Prince of Fae by Joshuan Rivera Jiménez. I found the obstacles Elior had to overcome brought great tension and excitement to the story. The characters are beautifully created and their personalities are totally unique. I especially loved the changeling characters as they had so many layers to their personalities. ... I loved the dialogue exchanges that were authentic and, at times, hilarious. ... There were some important life lessons scattered throughout too, especially how we all have the power to choose our actions. This was especially highlighted by Tenneh when she said, “There was a life you led, and there is a life you created for yourself. It’s up to you to decide who you want to be going forward. No one person or circumstance can make that choice for you.” This was such a powerful and thought-provoking statement and a great piece of advice for the children reading this book. — Lesley Jones for Readers' Favorite, rated 5 out of 5 stars Elior: Prince of Fae by Joshuan Rivera Jiménez is a breezy, fast-paced fantasy featuring danger, romance, humor and magic. With only about 260 pages, the novel moves at a brisk clip. There are twists and turns and cliffhangers and reveals. Whenever the story slows down, it’s only a matter of time before the bad guys burst through the door. Admittedly, this is a bit clumsy but undoubtedly effective. The story leads to a satisfying showdown that neatly ties up all the plot threads while leaving enough space for a possible sequel. The book has one significant flaw in the way it tries to explain the rules of its fictional world. This challenge is inherent to the genre, and not all authors are up to it. By giving his protagonist amnesia, Rivera Jiménez comes up with an excellent excuse to utilize othercharacters to explain things that may be obvious to them, but not to his readers. ... Despite this weakness, Elior: Prince of Fae is a thoroughly enjoyable read. Joshuan Rivera Jiménez successfully created appealing characters. His fast-paced narrative is accompanied by humor and spiced up with just a touch of romance. Hopefully, one day we might see a sequel. — Danijel triga for IndieReader, rated 4.5 out of 5 stars

Pages : 1182
Book Description
An ancient proverb holds the key to restoring the long-awaited wizard fortress of Aero'set. Sitting in the front room of his family's cottage, TY listens intently as Nyalis conveys the urgency of his upcoming quest. Having agreed to search out the four missing pieces of an age-old relic, Ty soon discovers how unprepared he is for a mission of this importance. Not only must he find the missing pieces and assemble them, he must survive long enough to figure out how to use them before the White Tower closes in. Desperate to reach Rhowynn ahead of Chief Inquisitor Sylas, FERRIN pushes his small band of convicts to their limits—his twin sister's life depends on it. On foot, they fight their way through the harsh winter countryside of Sidara, hoping to find someone willing to help. But the help they find is not what they expect, and the battle that ensues will likely mean the end of them all. Still struggling with the loss of his memories, AYRION and his companions travel north, eager to find a safe haven in the rugged mountain community of Wellhollow. Instead, they find an army of Black Watch purging the town of wielders. And when a local seer reveals a disturbing prophecy that directly links his fate to hers, Ayrion finds himself donning his black leather coat and twin blades once again. Meanwhile, in Easthaven, ADARRA makes a shocking discovery. Not only were the Tallosians who attacked her home part of Mangora's scheme, it seems they are also part of a much larger invasion—an invasion Easthaven isn't prepared to withstand. The third book in this award-winning epic fantasy saga continues where the second left off, with a world in desperate need of saving, as powers beyond their control threaten to bring the Five Kingdoms to its knees.
