Priestess Awakened: A Fantasy Romance (Guardians of Sky and Shadow Book 1) by Lidiya Foxglove (279 Reviews)    Price verified 8 hours ago

My world isn't safe. The northern gate lies open and monsters roam the land. Towns are locked behind walls, protected by the emperor and his Black Army. Once, a fated priestess and her four guardians kept the gate sealed with magic, but there hasn't been a priestess in over a century... or so I thought. When a monster attacks me within the walls of my village, I am saved by Sir Forrest -- the quiet former soldier who came to Istim three years ago. Turns out, he's been watching me. Waiting for my powers to awaken. I am the fated priestess. But there have been others. The genius commander Abel and the Black Army have killed them all. Sir Forrest found out the truth, and now he is driven by his sacred mission to help me find my guardians and bring me to the gate. All I have to do? Find them and join with them in the Grand Quintet to grant them the powers I apparently hold, close the gate, and save the world... without suffering the same dire fate as the priestesses who came before me. I've always liked attention... but this is too much. This reverse harem fantasy romance trilogy is for those who enjoy plenty of steam, strong heroines, a few hot guys (and one who is just pretty and probably sparkles), more tragic pasts and secrets than any group of people should reasonably have, and winged cats.

It all begins with Hera & Zeus... Before Noelle ever falls into the Other, before Cassandra becomes the witch in the woods, a young Manhattan socialite meets a stubborn silver-haired stranger and discovers that the Fates won't be denied -- Elisabeth "The old ways are dying." That's how the man who's been following me around the city finally breaks his silence. The old ways are dying, and it's up to me to save them. Well, to be fair, it's up to the two of us. Because, thousands of years ago, we were both gods -- and we were married. He introduces himself as Zeus, king of the gods, and tells me that I'm not really Elisabeth Morgan.

And we do because, after seeing him once, I can't stop myself from searching him out again. It's an addiction, a compulsion, a need that turns into a rage so fiery, I nearly burn up the world around me when I discover him with another woman. Because Hera is the jealous sort. Because I'm Hera. And he is Zeus, my wild, uncontrollable, philandering consort. He says the old ways are dying, and we have to return to the Other side. Will I go? I don't know. Can I tame him? Make him mine and mine alone like he never was? He says we're meant to be, but I'm not sure. Can I leave him? No. I can't. So I go.

When mortals turn their backs on gods, those gods will return with a vengeance. Gavyn's no hero. In fact, after a group of psychos claiming to be Sumerian gods resurface in a destructive display of power and demand the surrender of the world's heroes, Gavyn only thinks, "Wow. Sucks to be them." So when an old hag, who's quite likely an ancient witch, and a young, gorgeous woman, for whom he'd at least pretend to be a hero, show up at his door insisting he's one of the heroes the Sumerians are after, he's skeptical... and more than a little annoyed. But the old witch and supermodel-in-training won't take no for an answer, and Gavyn finds himself being transported halfway across the world to an actual, honest-to-some-god training camp for men and women who embrace their destinies to safeguard Earth.

She can find lost children, hack the most secure databases, pretty much anything. Except for the one thing she desires most: the knowledge of who her parents are, why they abandoned her, and what her special talent means about who and what she really is. So, when a guy named Seeker appears quite literally out of nowhere, claiming to know about her past and offering her a job, Evryn can't say yes fast enough. Even if it does mean following him to another realm. As in, mind-blowingly, not Earth. Apparently she's part of an elite clan of Hunters descending from Artemis who can find just about anything in all of time and space. As the last of Artemis' direct lineage, Evryn is her clan's best shot at finding a lost city before rival clans do. Not just any city, but the flying, realm-hopping city of Skye.

It's hard to decide who she can trust, even within her own clan. After she discovers a strange, alluring connection to the Artifex, she's not even sure she can trust herself. Worse yet, the only person who may be able to help her is the Timekeeper, the sadistic ancient being who created the Artifex. An interdimensional war is brewing, and Evryn is right at the epicenter of it all. Let the hunt begin.
