To Capture an Ancient by M.A. Abraham – a Review

 

To Capture an AncientAmazon / Barnes & Noble / Kobo

Description:
Earáne is a freethinking Elf. The only daughter of King Liessen and Aredhel, leader of the Elite Guards and General Jerrol Eagle Claw’s lover. She is happy with her life, until she meets Felcor as he fights deep in the Dark Elven Kingdom forests against overwhelming odds. Here, she quickly acknowledges, is her Life Mate, although she doesn’t want him to know it yet. First, she wickedly decides, she wants to play games with him. Then she will let him know what he is to her.

Felcor is more than grateful to the young Elven beauty that has come to his rescue, as he battles Demon forces in the forest. He doesn’t need to be told who she is, he knows. She isn’t only the daughter of the Dark King Liessen, but she is his Life Mate. He realizes things are done differently in the Dark Elven Kingdom, knows that they have a different code of ethics from what he was raised with, but he is determined to do things his way.

It is a clash of cultures, Ancient High Elf vs. modern Dark Elf and the games are on

 

 

Review:

To Capture an Ancient by M.A. Abraham is a novella that is part of her wonderful Elven Chronicles series.  Earane and Felcor are our heroes in this book, but the story revolves around the upcoming war that threatens the lives of the Elven Kingdom, as we know it.

To Capture an Ancient begins at the time where things were left off in the last book, with Gabriel and all the Elves trying to make plans to put their people in safe places, and be prepared for this war, where the reports are saying they will be seriously outnumbered by the demons. Disaster and destruction is on the horizon.

Earane, who is King Leissen and Aredhel daughter, is our heroine.  She is a dark elf, and a leader of the Elite Guards .  Earane is a very confidant and strong young lady, who doesn’t fear fighting and killing demons.  When she comes upon another Elf fighting off a demon attack, Earane will come to help.  When the battle has been won, she will face the man who is her lifemate.   Felcor, an ancient elf, also recognizes that he has finally found his lifemate in Earane.  In between fighting off some demons, the two will make their bond and  lifemate claiming.  They are once again attacked by Demons, and just when the situation becomes dire, Gabrielle and Eol will come to their rescue.

Gabriel is not a happy camper, and dresses down both Earane and Felcor for being careless, and not quickly getting the information they found to him and the others.  Everyone realizes that Gabriel is under terrible stress, and not sleeping. It will take Eden to force him to take a break and rest.

We watch as all the Elves try to find a way to protect their loves ones, and prepare to lose some of their lands to ward off the major demon attack.  To Capture an Ancient is a short story that will lead us to the next full novel, Kings of the Empire, and the demon war.  I cannot wait for this book, and will worry until then what will happen to our Elves.

Into the Demons Lair
Elven Chronicles series – Book #11
by M.A. Abraham
Release Date: June 12, 2016

Into the Demons LairAmazon / Barnes & Noble / Kobo / BAM / The Book Depository

Description:
After seeing Eärwen and Eöl reunited, Larien storms off. She is sickened by the endless evil the Demons continue to practice and she swears revenge against the Hordes for what they have done to her friends. She decides it is time that she should take a page from her mother’s past and put it into practice, with a twist. Instead of waiting for the enemy to act, she will take her Dragonets to attack the Demons where they live.

Rothliel has learned his Life Mate’s name and his brother tells him that the time has come for him to claim her. Lothrariel also tells him about her plans. He is not pleased with what he hears. Nothing, however, that he says deters her when they meet, and he is drawn into her game plan.

Neither Larien nor Rothliel are prepared for what they find. The Demon Mountains hide many secrets from the world. They are not what everyone thinks they are. What has the Drazon been hiding? They are about to find out, as they travel deep into the Demons Lair.

 

 

 

Review:

Into the Demons Lair by M.A. Abraham is the 11th book in her wonderful Elven Chronicles series.  Into the Demon’s Lair escalates the Demon war to one that threatens the lives of all the elves and their kingdoms.  Larien,  who is Serenity’s eldest daughter, decides to take matters in her own hands by taking  her dragonets and entering the Demon Mountain.  King Lothrariel sees a vision about Larien, and sends Rothliel to find her and bring her out of the mountain, which is too dangerous.  Lothrariel also knows that Larien is Rothliel’s lifemate.  Into this mix is Alyssa, who is Larien’s younger sister, who knows what Larien is up to and follows quietly behind to help her if needed. 

Into the Demons Lair is somewhat different than the earlier books.  The war is the main focus bringing in all the characters from earlier books, especially the young children who are now fully grown up, with many now generals in the Elven army, and all the Kings from the other Kingdoms.  Larien, Alyssa and Rothliel have sent messages to warn the others that the mountains are falling apart, and Demons are now coming out in full force to attack all the kingdoms.  The three of them inside the mountains are flabbergasted at how many demons that have been hidden; the number is astronomical, and the Elves know that this could be a war they cannot win.  During one of the explosions inside the cave, all three of them fall deeply into an opening. What they find upon awakening, is that they are being healed by different elves. Who and where are they from?   I will not tell too much more, as they will be spoilers.

This was an exciting story, with some twists. Larien, Alyssa and Rothleil were the center of much of the story, and helped create some humor.  However, most of the story was filled with action and preparation to fight a dangerous enemy.  I did have a couple of issues.  There are so many characters in the Elven Chronicles over the 11 books, and when bringing together everyone throughout the kingdoms to plan, and to fight was somewhat confusing trying to remember who was who.  Lastly, the finish was very exciting, as we knew that perhaps we can survive an onslaught, and then it ends. Glares at M.A. Abraham for leaving us totally hanging?  I know that this series usually ends to be continued, but so much was left that I wanted some closure before ending.  .  Sigh  Now I have to wait a long time for Kings of the Empire.

Earwen’s Song
Elven Chronicles series – Book #10
by M.A. Abraham
Release Date: April 16, 2016

Earwen's SongAmazon / Barnes & Noble / Kobo

Description:
With one look Eöl knows he has finally found the love of his life, his Life Mate, one he has promised to bind so tightly they will never be parted. He is about to find that it isn’t as easy as he believes it will be, not with a Light Elf mate, who is also an Eagle Claw.

Shocked by the sudden appearance of a Life Mate in her life, when she hadn’t expected one, Eärwen runs. It isn’t that she is against the idea, but this wasn’t supposed to happen to her and, although she fights it, their attraction to one another is too strong.

As a newly bonded couple of power, they are hunted by the Demons and then captured, before being parted. The bond they share, however, is stronger than anyone believes. It connects them in ways few could have foreseen, as heart to heart, mind to mind, soul to soul, they complete their bond in the way of the most ancient of Elves.

 

 

Review:

Earwen’s Song by M.A. Abraham is the 10th book in her wonderful Elven Chronicles series. I have said this before, this series just keeps getting better and better.  After the last book, we knew Earwen and Eol would be our heroes in this one.  Pretty quickly, both Earwen and Eol accidently are shocked to find out that they are lifemates.  Each has their own reactions.  Earwen is not happy, since is having too much fun with her friends and does not want to be bonded to any one, though Eol is one handsome Elf.  Eol is thrilled to finally have found his lifemate, and to be the pretty Earwen, who is a powerful young Tratcher and Eagle Claw.

When Eol kisses Earwen, she begins to feel the strong attraction, but she does not want to do the binding words just yet.  Eol will do a different kind of bonding that he learned during his study of old ancient history.  With them working together to help fight the Demon War, which is escalating, the unthinkable happens.  Eol will be captured, and Earwen injured. The different ancient bonding is so strong, that they will both be tied together feeling each of their pains, as well as able to mind connect with each other. 

All of this happens early on, as all the Kings, Gabriel, and the rest of the elves we have come to love will join in a major fierce battle against the demons and their wizards in a race to stop the onslaught, and to find a way to save Eol. Losing Eol will also cause Gabriel and Eden to lose Earwen,  as her bond to badly injured Eol, is causing her much of the same pain. 

Earwen’s Song is another exciting and tense story in M.A. Abraham’s wonderful Elven Chronicles Series.  It was great to see most of the children we have watched grow up to become such powerful warriors.  Through the intense battle, it was fun to watch what they can do, but at the same time, there was some emotional parts filled with torture and death. M.A. Abraham has written another fantastic story that continues to evolve, with non-stop action and great characters.  Very well done.

Tratchars by M.A. Abraham – Review & Giveaway

 

Tratchars Banner

 

TratcharsAmazon / Barnes & Noble / Kobo

Description:
After a horrifying ambush by the Demons, the Elves realize that it is only a matter of time before the war is brought to the forefront once more. The younger generations have come of age and are expected to take their places beside their parents in battle. It is something they trained hard for and are ready to do. They begin by looking into the past for other battle techniques that might have been lost to them over the millenniums. The one who is the most vigilant on that front is Ennacas, an Elf who seems to always have to learn everything the hard way.

In her studies, Ennacas has learned that Tratchars were once the most feared warriors. She wants to know why and there is one Elf she can turn to for answers. As an ancient, Rothliel was fully trained to serve the Empire as a Tratchar Warrior. At her request, he will share the knowledge that has been lost to those who share their talents. Only one Tratchar cannot attend his classes, Endiku, for the war in the Free Lands, where he lives, has not abated.

The order of the Great Guardian of the Free Lands to bring Ennacas leaves Endiku no choice but to face his Life Mate, for The Great Guardian has a quest for them that will take their combined talents to complete. When the time comes for him to collect his bride, he is apprehensive. He has not spoken to her for centuries and is unsure of his welcome. She is a woman now, and there is nothing more dangerous than a female who feels she has been taken for granted, especially one who is a Tratchar and an Eagle Claw.

 

 

Review:

Tratchars by M.A. Abraham is the 9th book in her Elven Chronicles series. This series just keeps getting better and better. Two powerful Tratchars join hands in battle and love to fight the Demons.  M.A. Abraham has given us another wonderful, thrilling adventure, with our favorite Elves.  Tratchars brings forth the younger generation, as Ennacas (Eden and Gabriel oldest daughter) and Endiku, who is her lifemate, are the leads in this story. It starts with a young Ennacas being punished for sneaking out at night with her cousins, after being found by Endiku (who just arrived in the kingdom). Ennacas is punished by her parents to learn all facets of being an Elven warrior, as well as a Tratchar, with no time for fun. This will take over a hundred years. In Tratchars time flies, but the Elven world time is different than our time, though I did find it kind of weird to see in different parts the major lapse in time.

The crux of the story is that the Demons have now started in full force a war that bring all the kingdoms together to fight a very strong and powerful evil that threatens the lives of all the Elves we have grown to love. The Great Guardians (Sentinels) are slowly being destroyed in each Elven Kingdom, and Ennacas is the chosen one who is sent on a mission by the Guardians, that will bring her together with Endiku, who will help protect her, and Rothliel, possibly the oldest and most powerful Tratchar, who will work alongside her. Their mission: they must dig below each Great Guardian, and remove the light that keeps them alive with memories. But along the way, the evil Demons are ready to attack the Elves with dangerous slithering snakes that not only are destroying the trees, they will also destroy those who come save them. Ennacas, Endiku, Rothliel and their warrior/tratchar team will visit each Kingdom and bring what was taken from each Guardian to be placed in a safe place where the demons cannot get to in order for the Great Guardians to be reborn.

Rather than to tell too much more, this was a wonderful story, which is not only exciting, but brings everyone (all the Eagle Claw family, the Elves we have loved, and those we met over the 8 books) together to fight evil, as well as giving us a beautiful romance between Ennacas and Endiku. The Elven Chronicles is a fun series, and in Tratchars, it is a bit more serious with the upcoming war; but so great to see the children growing up and joining the elders in the battle for freedom.  M.A. Abraham does it again with a wonderful story.

Surrounded by the Light by M.A. Abraham – a Review

Surrounded by the Light by M.A. Abraham – a Review

 

Surrounded by the lightAmazon / Barnes & Noble

Description:
It has been three years since Branith has been home and a few of the Princes from the Free Lands have come with him. Things have changed and they are all quick to note the obvious ones. The young girls he remembered as cute little toddlers and scamps are developing curves, and he is suddenly feeling very protective. Where did that come from?

As Elves gather for the celebration, Daroth finds his Kingdom is being invaded by what seems like every high-ranking Elven family in the Empire. There are toddlers everywhere! He would ask where they all came from, but their ages point at only one possible answer: their conceptions can be traced back to the time when Gabriel and Eden conjured their spell in the High Elven Kingdom. It reminds him of when their children were toddlers, and with that in mind, he is ready to enjoy the party.

Can it be that simple?

 

 

Review:

Surrounded by the Light by M.A. Abraham is another one of her wonderful novellas from her Elven Chronicles, which she always brings us each year near the holidays. It is that time of year again in Daroth’s Kingdom when all the families gather to celebrate. Only this time, it seems all the other Kings and their families don’t want to miss this either, and they all start arriving.

Branith, who is Marious’ brother, has been away for three years, and he comes home with others from the free lands to a wild and fun filled celebration that will find him his lifemate. But not too much other then who she is was mentioned. I am sure Abraham has more in store for us with this revelation.

The crux of the story in the middle of the celebration will alert all that danger is on the horizon once again. This is a novella and too hard to write a longer review, as saying too much would be spoilers. I will say that the children were up to their old tricks, which was cute; we also got to see the Dragon King and Queen, who visited with serious warnings, not to mention S’Larea and her visions of danger.

Once again M.A. Abraham gives us a fast, fun filled read to celebrate the holidays with our Elves.

For the King and the Elven EmpireAmazon / Barnes & Noble / Kobo / Smashwords

Description:
It was supposed to be a simple trip to the High Elven Kingdom. It started out simply enough, with Gabriel, Eden and their children, accompanying King Elrohir and his bride. They were going to spend some time visiting, some time exploring, and doing a little work on the forest. Nothing, however, seems to ever go smoothly with the Eagle Claw clan and what started off as a simple trip, turned into a nightmare as their children disappear while working in the forest. Eden and Gabriel are frantic; they don’t know which way to turn. Who do they blame for the abduction of their family? Where are their children? Why can’t they touch their life forces? They join their talents and go on a search, calling in every resource they can, but get no results. They reach out to to Empire for help, to use force if necessary. That is quickly brought under control as Lothrariel arrives. It is not a popular decision, as far as the grieving parents are concerned.

At Gabriel’s command, the Kings and Queens lead their armies into the High Elven Kingdom, but it is not Gabriel who will take the lead; it is Lothrariel, as they find he has finally regained his ancient powers. He searches for answers, but a power as ancient as his has hidden the answers. Who has done this? Why?

While Lothrariel tries to calm the irate parents, he greets the members of the council and their consorts in the High Kingdom, the children work behind the scenes to regain their freedom with the help of their friends. There is only one Elf can reach the children where they are, S’Larea. It is she who will lead Lothrariel to the edge of the land where they are hidden, and it is he who will shatter the shield that holds them prisoner.

As things come together the Eagle Claw children work their magic on those who have taken them, while S’Larea gathers their friends and rides to their rescue. Will the High Elven Kingdom ever be the same after they are through?

 

 

Review:

For the King and Elven Empire by M.A. Abraham is the 8th book in her Elven Chronicles series. For those who may not know about this series, the Elven Chronicles is a fun lighthearted fantasy series about Elves, with a wonderful cast of delightful characters. We look forward to each new book, as it is so much fun to spend time with our favorites, who always play a big part in each new book.  

Gabriel, Eden and all their children visited the High Elven Kingdom, as they escorted King Elrohir and his mate back home. The plan was also for Eden to work her renowned fertility spell so that this kingdom would finally have children, something sorely lacking over the years. While Eden was overseeing her children as they were working to bring the damaged trees back to health, she did not notice that they found some strange vibes closer up the mountain. Not telling their mother, the next day they decided to explore further together. A veil opens and the children are kidnapped, and when Eden rushes to their rescue, they have totally disappeared, and she cannot sense them.

What follows is an exciting adventure that will find Gabriel and Eden beside themselves in grief for their missing children, with Gabriel calling all the Elven forces to come to help find the children. Lothrariel is one of the first to arrive, and takes control, utilizing his increasing powers to find the veil, and keep Gabriel from starting a war. However, first Lothrariel needs find how the veil works and it will take a little time, causing Eden and Gabriel to continue to panic.

Back home, S’Larea gathers the other children, and uses her powers as an Oracle, even if she is only 10, to help communicate with Gabriel and Eden’s children. Together all the children will plan a rescue attempt. While they work on a rescue plan, we all know there is no need to worry, as the Eagle Claw children are a force to reckon with. It was a lot of fun to watch them deal with the other children in the forest behind the veil. The territory has been blocked off for many many years, when Lothrariel was King before the Demon war. These people have not seen civilization in a long long time, and seeing these refreshing and wild children of the Eagle Claw Clan was an eye opener.

This was a fun story, though not so for Eden and Gabriel, but the children were a blast, and I thoroughly enjoyed this adventure. M.A. Abraham has given us another fun story, allowing us to spend more time with the children and seeing things in their perspective. We get to see Lothrariel come fully into his powers, and be the King he was meant to be. A wonderful adventure that will give us a look at the past, answer questions and sneak a peek at what is in store for the future.   For the King and Elven Empire is another fascinating trip in this wonderful world created by M.A. Abraham.

Review:

Living in the Light by M.A. Abraham is the author’s annual Christmas novella from her Elven Chronicles series. This is a sweet, light, fun read with our elves. This will be a short review, as it is very difficult to write a review on a novella, when the description above just about tells it all, and anything more would be spoilers.

As we have come to expect from the works of M.A. Abraham, this annual Christmas novella is pure fun. Daroth has his annual holiday celebration, and many of the kings and their family have been invited to attend. The story revolves around the younger generation, and the fun and mischievous pranks they pull on each other, especially when they gang up on some of the unsuspecting adults. Early on they are all having a blast going up and down the snow covered mountains.

Later, when the other Kings arrive, the story switches to the visiting King Elodhir and his brothers finding their lifemates, who will turn out to be three sisters. As I said, I can’t give out too much more. You have to read and enjoy the fun throughout the short story. I will add, you really need to have read the Elven Chronicles series, in order to know the characters, the history, and enjoy the fun. A perfect fun story in the land of the Elves, which we can thank M.A. Abraham for our Christmas gift.

Description:
Lúthien is a powerful Elf with a talent that has been hunted to the brink of extinction by the Demons. She is a daughter of the sun, one who is able to lead a soul back through the darkness and into the light. Her talent is to spread light amongst her people and in extreme cases to Elves who have lost their way. With the rescue of Garoldth’s brother, Golradir her powers have never been needed more for his treatment at the hands of the Demons over the millennium have left him scarred both mentally and physically.

Golradir would have been King instead of Garoldth if he hadn’t been captured by Demons. He has been held captive for over fifteen hundred years, during that time he was tortured mercilessly and now that he is free he only wants to be left alone to die in peace. It is not that simple in the Elven world though, and especially when the one person who can help heal both his body and his soul is his Life Mate. Will he let her? Or will he allow the darkness planted in the deepest recess of his soul swallow them both?

 

 

Review:

Luthien’s Song by M.A. Abraham is the 7th book in her Elven Chronicles series. For those who may not know about this series, it is a fun fantasy storyline about Elves, with some wonderful delightful characters that make you laugh, even in the midst of tense action. Luthien’s Song picks up after King’s Daughter left off. Golradir, is in horrible condition, after being abused for over a thousand years at the hands of the demons. The elves who rescued him bring him to Daroth to put together a team of the top known healers in the Elven lands, to handle the horrific task of trying to rebuild Golradir’s body from head to toes.

Luthien is a daughter of the sun, who has the ability (mostly kept secret) of healing ones soul, in the hope of bringing them back from the deepest dark depths to the light. When Luthien comes at the call from Daroth, she recognizes right away that the man (or whatever is left of him) lying in front of her is her lifemate. Golradir has buried himself deeply in his mind, where he found protection from the horrors done to him by the demons. Though he senses comfort, as Luthien enters his mind, and brings him to a peaceful place, he fears it is another trick by the demons.

I found this to be an amazing story, as M.A Abraham gave us a look at the healing powers of the Elves, many of whom have had their own stories (Eden, Haylo, Tamarak, Eol, Lothariel, etc), and some new healers we meet in this story. We watch at every step the healing done by the team of men and women working together to bring back a former king. What was so amazing was that Abraham made everything so real, detailing all that was done to this poor man and made us feel like we too were participating in the effort by all the Elves.

Luthien gave so much of herself to lessen Golradir’s pain by taking some of it, while she offered him her love in their private place in his mind. After time has passed, when Golradir became conscious, much to Luthien’s dismay, he rebuffed her love, because he feared he was tainted.

The recovery of Golradir will take three years, as we follow it all. The demons are still around and have set their sights on Luthien, who is a powerful elf that they want.

What follows is an exciting adventure to save Luthien, with all of our favorites trekking back to Demon land to find her. Golradir is now able to help; he knows he must save his lifemate from the fate he suffered, and he also wants revenge. Luthien’s Song is also a very nice romance that slowly builds.

Luthien’s Song is a poignant and passionate story of destructive evil, heartbreak, and the healing power of love. This book will pull on your emotions throughout, as M.A. Abraham has outdone herself with this amazing story. Well done!!
