Enchanting the Elven Mage

Kingdoms of Lore, Book 1

By: Alisha Klapheke

Narrated by: Caitlin Kelly, Gary Furlong

A human princess. An elven warrior. A betrothal bound in a curse.

Today, Aury learned three things; one, she is a princess; two, she might be a powerful mage; and three, a brutal mountain elf is on his way to the kingdom for their marriage. Aury can’t escape her newly revealed royal parents quickly enough. If they think she is going to marry some vicious elven warrior mage, they have another thing coming. They claim she’s a mage too, but she has yet to prove it. She heads to the magic military order to get her rune-marked staff and learn everything she can. If she becomes the weapon they need instead of her not-if-she-can-help-it husband, they’ll send the mountain elf packing, right? If they don’t, she will.

Filip is certain of three truths; one, he is bound to wed a stubborn mule of a princess; two, the union will give his people the farmland they desperately need; and three, his nightmare of a bride has wild magic that will probably kill him before their wedding day. But he will die before he gives up on winning her hand. War is coming, and the first battle will be fought in the heart.

Loosely inspired by the old tales of Sleeping Beauty, this novel is set in the same world as USA Today best-selling author Alisha Klapheke’s Dragons Rising series, but listeners can easily start with this book.

This book is so special

I love everything about this story. I felt so emotional Liston this story. My heart was breaking for them. I wanted them to get back together so badly. Love this story.

Fantastic Twist to the Retelling

Wow! I really did enjoy this book - it is the first one I have read by this author and I am so impressed! Since it is a standalone book instead of a series, I wasn't expecting the characters to be so well-developed, but you could really get a sense of who they were as individuals...and the banter between the FMC & MMC was hilarious! I wish there was a series. because I enjoyed the characters so much-I would love to read more adventures!

Narration was really good for the audiobook. The accents sounded realistic, yet easy to understand. I loved that there were two actors for the FMC & MMC as it really brought a lot of realism to the dual POV for the book.

I have already bought another book and series by this author because I can already tell I enjoy her writing style...and can't wait to hear more of her dragon stories as well!

Fantastic!

So many ups and downs...I was regularly yelling at my speaker out of frustration! lol I loved the descriptions and the journey Alisha took me on.

I smiled the whole time I listened to this book!

I LOVED this story ( I ended up buying the book as well). I didn’t think I would like hearing two different narrators, but I actually loved it! Gary has a wonderful voice, so how could you not, ;)

Great start

nice start for me hooked, could use more. The chemistry just wasn't there for me.
