About this ebook

 The final page will leave you breathless. 
When Kara Magari uncovers a secret door in the middle of the forest, she discovers (and trips through) a portal to a hidden world full of terrifying things: Ourea. She just wants to go home, but the natives have other plans for her. She clashes with immortal shapeshifters, is carried off by a dragon, nearly dies on several occasions, and somehow becomes the master of an ancient book of magic called the Grimoire. Every time she thinks she's safe, her new "friends" show their true colors. 

Kara needs an ally, or she might not survive Ourea's monsters. She drops her guard when Braeden, a native soldier with a dark secret, vows to keep her safe. And though she doesn't know it, her growing attraction to him may just be her undoing. 

For twelve years, Braeden Drakonin has lived a lie. The Grimoire is his one chance at redemption, and it lands in his lap when Kara Magari comes into his life. Though he begins to care for this stranded girl, there's something he wants more. He wants the Grimoire. 

Welcome to Ourea, where only the cunning survive.

Ratings and reviews

One of the most amazing books ever written. This series will grab a hold of you and never let go. The first time I read them I couldn't put it down and had to buy the next one as soon as I finished the first. The second time around was no different. I hate to leave the amazing world of Ourea when I reach the last book.

There are so many interesting characters and creatures in this story and they're all described in perfect detail. You can't help but love Kara from the beginning and Braeden is just as lovable with his ulterior motive. This story brings known mythological creatures and beings together with new ones and makes for a truly enchanting tale. I'm excited to start the next book in the series soon and eventually read all Ourea books. The author brings a new world to life full of mystery and adventure.

At first I was like blah this is gonna be a 3 star, but the further I went it just kept getting better. Had no intention to buy the second book, but now the author has left me no choice. I must know what happens. Warning highly addictive read :>
