Summary
A deathbed promise.
Arlyn's quest is simple: Find her father and let him know her mother is dead. After all, Arlyn had promised her mother she'd go. The problem? Her father's people are myths and legends, and he doesn't even live on Earth. But despite a long journey through the mysterious mists of the Veil, finding him turns out to be the easy part.
A dream long buried.
After 500 years, Kai has given up on finding his soulbonded. So when he stumbles across Arlyn after returning from his latest mission and recognizes her as his mate, Kai starts their bond in haste. But he never could have imagined that his bonded is his best friend's newfound daughter. Whoops.
A hidden conspiracy sparked to life.
Though the sight of Kai makes Arlyn's heart pound, she isn't sure she can forgive him for starting their bond without her permission. But her love life is the least of her problems. Her father is an elf lord, and his sudden acknowledgment of a half-human heir reignites the same conspiracy that took him away from her mother in the first place. Now Arlyn and her family must face iron-wielding assassins, bigotry, and her newly awakened magical abilities if they hope to come through in one piece.
Arlyn thought she would return to Earth after meeting her father. Now she must fight to save the family she never knew she wanted.

Long story
The characters were well developed but there was little to no romance you had to wait for the book to nearly be over before the chastely kiss and they could have been monks for all the romance. Great book if you like the politics and long drawn out storyline. I tried but after listening for hours and hours and hours when they finally completed the bond the bedroom sense was leaking disappointing for all the hours and hours of build up I stopped listening with 2 hrs to go . I’ve made a note of the author so I don’t get any more

Not grear
Although the story itself was decent enough (excluding the tedium of the naming and introductions. The performance of the female narrator was truthful painful. Arlan's dialogue was not too bad but the narrator made her constantly sound like a petulant teenager. It was unpleasant yo listen too.

Terrible
What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?
This storyline had so much potential I was saddened to see it slaughtered so! No romance what so ever, just three conversations and bed. Terrible characters. A 500-year-old elven guy that is as mature as a 15-year-old. The female narrator turns the protagonist into a whiny kid. No real descriptive prose, anything complicated was avoided. The protagonist spent weeks in the portal, yet we are told nothing about it.
Would you ever listen to anything by Bethany Adams again?
Never ever! Nope! Shoot myself first.
Did Gabrielle de Cuir and Stefan Rudnicki do a good job differentiating each of the characters? How?
Did not like this joint venture, but i would consider listening to Gabrielle de Cuir again.
What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?
disappointment, I came for elves and got inmature 500 year old idiots.
Any additional comments?
Thank god i can give the book back.

brilliant book
I loved this book, but found that two narrators rather spoiled it. I would have been happier with just one, the female.

Goodish
I enjoyed the story although target group younger audience, but with a “mild” non-detail sex scene?! Rather cliched. Maybe only an issue for me as listen at 3.5 speed on audible and am slightly deaf, but found the male narrator hard to listen too. Probably would listen/read next book if need to just relax (easy read).

Subpar story and untrained narrators
Just when I thought Audible narrators can no longer shock me, they go and prove me wrong. And, to make matters worst, the story isn't a lot better either + the mfc has to be one of the most annoying characters ever . A disastrous combo 😩

Disappointing
I read the reviews and thought this would be right up my street but the main character Arlen is so annoying. She’s supposed to be in her mid twenties but acts like a spoilt teenager, shouting at healers and her soul bonded Kaye and always putting herself first. The narrator’s voice makes it worse- emphasising her most irritating qualities. I wanted to find out how it all ends but after persevering for 3/4 of it finally gave up. I think I can guess what happens anyway- she decides to keep the soul bond.
