The Awakening

The Eternal Flame, Book 1

By: SE Naumann

Narrated by: Paul Hart Cochran

Asena is a female from Herbexia who wants nothing more than to Awaken as an elf and join her Father's army. Oh and let’s not forget, settle down with her lifelong best friend Kyllan.

Ryker is a male from Vekroth who wants to ensure his realm’s safety. He is the Commander of the Crimson Legion and heir to the seat of High Lord, a title he’s not too keen on taking.

When these two meet and their worlds collide, there is a tug only they can feel. A shift in their universe that they are blissfully unaware of. But what will happen when the shadows come for their lands? Will Asena be the answer to save the kingdom, or will it crumble and be reborn?

Exciting New World

This novel sets up a huge amount of story, characters, and history to the world created by author SE Naumann. It doesn't fall into the trap of excessive explaining, allowing the characters to discover and understand the world as the reader does. In some ways, it almost feels like a "Part One" to a much larger book, due to the number of unresolved plot introduced, but on it's own it is an enjoyable read and introduction to the kingdom of Kinbrolds.
It certainly sets up for a robust series, and I'm excited to see where the story goes!
