Mysterious and magical, her soul beckons him with a compelling, seductive song-and no matter the cost, the wildness in his blood will not be denied. Now, a thousand years later, a new threat draws him back into the world-and a new love reawakens the heart he thought long-dead.Įllysetta, a woodcarver’s daughter, calls to Rain in a way no other ever had. Once, driven wild with grief over the murder of his beloved, the majestic Fey King Rain Tairen Soul had laid waste to the world before vanishing into the Fading Lands. Once he loved with such passion his name was legend. This is only the first book of 5 in the Tairen Soul series and I have heard things get better in book 2… which makes a lot of sense due to the amount of world building that needed to occur. Things were heating up in several ways towards the end of the book so possibly more to come further in the series.

I was honestly thinking there was going to be a bit more… romance.

The first book was over 400 pages (mass market paperback) but it only covered the span of a few weeks, and the MC didn’t make it very fat into their courtship.

There are a lot of elements going on in the story mages, family drama, courtship drama, the fading Tairen and fay, and not to mention the schemers at court.

You all know I am a OTP kind of girl and this book did not hesitate to get my couple going right from the start.

A young girl with a mysterious power is declared the truemate of Rain the last Tairen Soul and king of the Fey. This book gives me a bit of grown up Thrown of Glass vibes… but seeing as this book was published WAY before TOG, it would technically be in the inspired story. I decided to go ahead and give this series a try as I know it is very beloved by many.
