DESCRIPTION

Desire runs deeper than the ocean…

I was never meant to descend into the world beneath the waves—never meant to fall into the orbit of a Sea Elf whose power could shatter oceans.

He is danger wrapped in control.

Cold. Commanding. Untouchable.

His city is beauty honed into a weapon. His restraint is legendary. And yet the way his gaze lingers tells me he wants me as much as he fears what I awaken in him.

I don’t belong in his realm of tides and shadows, where ancient magic stirs and secrets are buried deep. But every step closer pulls me under—desire tightening, temptation burning hotter than the sea itself.

The truth I uncover could ignite a war.

Loving him could destroy us both.

Leaving may already be impossible.

Because when the ocean begins to rise and everything he’s sworn to protect is threatened, I understand one dangerous truth—

The sea isn’t the only thing capable of burning.

And I’m done resisting the fire between us.

New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Donna Grant weaves a captivating story of forbidden desire, dangerous secrets, and impossible choices in this seductive installment of her acclaimed Elven Kingdoms series.

REVIEW

Finally, we get to see the world of the Sea Elves; where they stand in regard to the Masters and the location of another Shaldorn (read book 1 of this series for the back history of Shaldorn).

What I like best about this book is how author Donna Grant creates an underwater world that makes one feel like they are in the Atlantis of Elves.

Human Kaylani is drawn to the water and has never understood why her brother Rohan (who’s story is in Storm Wood Book 3 of the series) fears for her life every time she goes into the water. Her affinity to water creates a surprising storyline that finally gives her resolution to her unknown abilities and shocks everyone around her

Varum, a sea elf, takes Kaylani hostage and tries to discover what and who she really is. This is against the rules of sea elves and is instant death for both when caught.

This book is about finding one’s identity, self-love, and doing the right things. It’s about loving someone so much that you let them go.

I recommend this series for it’s creative world of elves. I give it 5 STARS.
