Fire and Water join the rebellion.

Sophia

We’ve found all four pieces of the prophecy, but it’s already too late. The prophecy has come true, and we’ve been forced to flee our home. The Elders are hunting us down, and there’s nowhere to run.

But we can’t just abandon our people. Returning to Kinpago proves more difficult than we thought, but this time, we’re coming back with an army. I’m ready to lay my life down for the tribe...

Until an unexpected discovery changes everything.

Liam

In the midst of war, Sophia and I are ready to take our vows. But getting married in the middle of genocide isn’t just dangerous, it’s deadly. My friends and I have allied ourselves with an underground group of elementals. To survive, we must unify the Hawkei into one tribe.

My people need someone to follow. I must take my place as the leader I was always meant to be, and make amends with the ancestors if we’re going to survive.

But Sophia isn’t the only one I need to protect. A new beginning is on its way, and once it arrives, nothing will ever be the same.

The Elemental War (Hidden Legends: Academy of Magical Creatures Book 5)

The Elemental War (Hidden Legends: Academy of Magical Creatures Book 5) ~~ This book is explosive — battles, sacrifice, heartbreak, and power on a whole new level. The war hits full force here, and the cost is brutal. There were multiple points where I had to stop and breathe because the emotional weight was so heavy. The character growth is enormous in this one, and I loved watching each person step into who they were meant to be.

There’s a sacrifice in this book that shredded me completely. I was yelling at the audio like it would change something. The grief, the rage, the determination — all of it felt real enough to touch.

The Audible version absolutely delivered. The battles sounded massive and the emotion in the quiet scenes destroyed me. And switching between Kindle and Audible was effortless like always.

I would definitely recommend this book and series and can’t wait to start on the next book. If you want to know what happens next, you’ll just have to read this series yourself — you won’t regret it.

TRIGGER WARNING

As someone who has experienced loss during a very difficult delivery, I suggest trigger warnings before the start of this book. I really enjoyed this series but I had to take a break at the middle of chapter 24 of this book. Others than that, it’s a great book and series.
