About this ebook

Enter the Iridescent Realm, a steamy romantic fantasy series from USA Today Bestselling Author Michelle Dare.

It starts with a dream.

When my mother died, I lost the last family member I had. The antique store was her passion, not mine. I’d rather spend my time reliving my dreams about the man who’s always just out of reach.

What my mother never told me was she was hiding something that would alter my life.

Not many people can say they have a key to another realm. Or that within the realm is the father they’ve never met.

That person is me. My father is the king in a land I didn’t know existed. I’m so using that key.

When I get there, I find the literal prince of my dreams. Not only is he handsome but he’s an elite fighter. A prince I’m not sure if I should fear or kiss.

I’m told my father isn’t the man I pictured, and instead is vile and vicious. I wonder if I made the worst decision of my life coming here.

I still have the key. I could go home.

I also have a prince vowing to protect me with his life.

Falling for him is easy.

Becoming a pawn in my father’s game is not.

The Azure Kingdom is book one in the Iridescent Realm series. It features a strong heroine and a sexy prince, who can only fight what is meant to be for so long. This book contains explicit content and graphic violence intended for those 18 and over. Each book in the series can be read as a standalone but is better enjoyed when read in order.

Ratings and reviews

I think this might have a good storey behind it, but I couldn't get there. The writing is too passive. Twenty pages in the protagonist has been to sleep at least four times. The story so far is been nothing but I do this, I think this, I sleep, I wake up, I do this, I do that. I was not pulled into an adventure. There was a single, brief scene of a few paragraphs which as almost active, but then it was over and back to I do, I think, I sleep...
