The Priestess by M.A. Abraham – a Review
Description:
Britallia hides secrets from her people, even as she leads them as their Princess Priestess. She is an Elf. She keeps her hair in a style that always covers the points of her ears, but she can’t hide what she is from others like her.
Talus is one of the chosen, an Elven Prince who has earned the right to be part of the squadron of Elven/Dragon shifters that guard the Elven Empire. He, like his brethren, have been in Dragon form for too long, and have lost a part of his heritage to the character he becomes.
It takes one look for these two unlikely mates for them to recognize each other for what they are, Life Mates. The question is, can she tame his Dragon, or will she be bound to forever love half an Elf?
Review:
The Priestess by M.A. Abraham is the 3rd book in her Guardians of the Empire series. Refresher: This series is set in the same world as Abraham’s wonderful Elven Chronicles series, but thousands of years after that series ended; with all surviving humans having been granted a land called The Valley, to live in peace and prosperity. Over the years, these humans did not remember the Elves, who were in their own portal. In the first two books of this series, we not only met three wonderful powerful female leaders, who play major parts in this series; with Chania and Serena having been the heroines; but the Elves will get to meet many of these humans, as well as having to fight against the evil in those lands.
Britallia, who is the priestess, is our heroine in this story, as she tries to avoid having contact with Talus, who is her lifemate. Britallia thinks that being a priestess doesn’t allow her to have a relationship with her mate, but in time she will learn how wrong she was. They did make a great couple
As this story is a continuation, I do feel the major character in this series is Gabriella, an Eagle Claw and descendant of Gabriel. She is the General of the Elven Army, and a very powerful and fierce warrior. Gabriella will work closely with Chania and Britallia to help save some of the innocents under the regime of the evil King in The Valley.
Evart, who is the youngest son of the King, worked with them secretly to send his twin sister, Sonya to safety working with the powerful female Elves, and as the story comes close to the end, he helps send Alexis, a young woman he was in love with to join Sonya; leaving both of them broken hearted. Will Evart be able to survive his father and brother’s wrath should they discover he was helping the Elves?
Another POV of this story, are the Guardians who are looking for their life mates. As the story ends, we get to meet a new character who has been hiding behind a veil for many many years, which promises to be an excellent continuation in the next book. The Priestess was an entertaining, fun, and serious story line, with a wonderful cast of characters.
