ARC read 2025
Evandra (FMC) has lived a quiet life in a small town running an Inn with her father, she sometimes dreams of leaving on some sort of adventure but that's just a dream... speaking of dreams she keeps having weird dreams that seem so real, she dreams of a man and then one day he appears with 2 companions looking for a room for the night.
Eldrake (MMC) is a captain he is a natural leader and has been sent on an important mission he must find Evandra and convince her to return with him to his home Riftreach where he and others like him are in hiding they are down but not out as they work on training their forces to be able to fight in a rebellion against the king that has banished magic and their kind... if any of the Riftborn are found true dangers await them but they still have fight left in them and their uprising needs Evandra to win she is the key to their success.
Evandra has been given a contraband book by her father for her birthday it was her mother's book and she is surprised he has kept it as it is a forbidden book discussing the history of the magical Riftborn and Riftreach. Once Drake tells her she is their only hope in winning their war and something happens in town that leads to her basically getting pushed to start this journey with Drake and his companions the real adventure starts.
Evandra journeys to the hidden town where she learns about who she is, her mother and how she fits in to helping these people... of course while she is training she is falling for the handsome dragon captain and knows that she couldn't leave these people they need her.
Drake is drawn to Evandra in ways that he never expected... so much so that he might have found his mate, this could complicate the future mission but at this point it might be too late for him.
Evandra overhears a conversation between Drake and his leader that is misunderstood (since she didn't stay to hear what Drake's response was) and she ends up in a bad situation, will Drake be able to rescue her in time? Is she strong enough to rescue herself? Has she learned enough during her training?
I really enjoyed this book it took me a bit to get into but once I got into it was hard to put down. I loved a good slow burn where you are rooting for our lead characters and wanting them to find their happy ending, save the Riftborn and defeat the evil powers in their world. I also loved the side characters and there was potential for another side love story going on where I wonder if this couple will have a story of their own in the future.

--> My review for the book (I shortened it for good reads (or tried to.. for some reason it still is showing a longer version will see if it changes or not tomorrow) and amazon) 👇
Imagine a world where magic exists it's just hidden due to being banned the evil king has made it so all things magical and all magical people (Riftborn) are afraid to live out in the open.
There are Riftborn in the process of planning a rebellion and the key to that rebellion involves Evandra she is more powerful than she knows and having her help will be huge for their side. Only Evandra has been working beside her father for years in a small town as an Inn keeper... oh and she has no idea that about her role in this rebellion or that she has any magical powers at all she is just barely finding out about the history of the Riftborn and Riftreach through an illegal book of her mother's that her dad gave her on her birthday it is kind of a Riftborn history of magic.
Evandra's life is about to get a lot less routine when the most handsome guy she's ever seen in her life walks into her Inn with his 2 companions looking for a room it's like he stepped out of her dreams... because she has been dreaming about this man vividly and often.
Eldrake (Drake) a hot brooding dragon captain has been sent on a mission to bring Evandra back to their hidden town where she will train and prepare for their upcoming missions.
The Riftborn have a traitor in their midst working against them and with the evil king he is in possession of a magical artifact that is in contact with an even more evil entity but since their goals are kind of similar (more power) the entity is allowing horrific beings to be created that are aggressive and dangerous but follow the traitors orders.
This story has you rooting for Drake and Eva to get together and find their happily ever after but with so much evil closing in on them so quickly will this be enough time for Eva to get any sort of control over all of the power that has been given to her? Will Riftborn ever be able to live safely in the open?
