By: Hollee Mands

Narrated by: Allie Shae, James Cavenaugh

He'd do anything to keep her safe . . . except give her up.

Declan lost her once. Never again. He is an archmage. Fearsome. Terrible. Divine. Yet deadly whispers dare echo in his ear. None more threatening than those of his still-incomplete mate bond and his love's failing health. In a twist of irony, he must now protect his mate from the greatest danger she's ever faced . . . himself.

Evangeline was raised to be an apothecarist, not an archmage's queen. She knows nothing of the subtle maneuverings of court life, and despite her awakened memories, she remains painfully human. Too human to claim an archmage for a mate. But Declan's contentious council and her questionable mortality aren't the only things she has to worry about. The secrets of her past are catching up, and even her all-powerful lover may not be able to keep her safe . . .

Winter Sun is the seductive sequel in the Warriors of the Five Realms adult fantasy romance series that will submerge you in a dazzling court of deadly secrets and deception lurking in every shadow . . .

Contains mature themes.

Overall OK.

I hate when authors who portray a woman as strong and powerful and then turn them into weak fearful creatures, even though they have the power to bring enemies to their knees. This is 2025, we do not have power but we are strong and have faced our own battles in this cruel world. Write stories that fit the modern day woman, please.
