The Tratchar by M.A. Abraham – Review & Giveaway
Description:
Cambria is a highly powered Tratchar, and her task is to take care of the Sentinels, in the same way her ancestors did, many millenniums before. She is good at her job and proud of what she does. She is also deadly as she is beautiful.
Anders isn’t one of the elite among the Guardians of the Empire, but he is happy to be numbered among them. To him, it is a point of pride. For, although he is one of the younger dragon shifters, he figures he has lots of time to develop.
All thoughts of his status, however, disappear into the mist when he sees a pretty young Elven female create a tree out of a seed she holds cupped in her hands. He watches in awe, as the small tree forms, and then loses all that he is to her as their eyes meet, for she is his life mate, and he can tell she is as aware of what he is to her as he is to her.
Review:
The Tratchar by M.A. Abraham is the 5th book in her Guardians of the Empire series. Brief refresher: This series is set in the same world as Abraham’s Elven Chronicles, but thousands of years past. 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 earlier books, the Elves will got to meet many of these humans, as well as having to fight against the evil in those lands.
From the start we spend time with Cambria and her lifemate Anders, as they enjoy their love and free time away from others. But soon they are called back, with Cambria stepping forth to help a major move of the Guardians, Sentinels, and Elves to leave the Valley and their own homes to where it all started. This is a major undertaking, as it involves the humans to be able to defend themselves, especially against Evart’s family. Evart, who is the youngest son of the King, previously helped send away Sonya and later Alexis to their safety with the Elves.
What follows is an exciting wild adventure where Gabriella, tries to help train Evart, as he returns to his homeland, and secretly fight his family for control and to stop their plans of destruction in the Valley. But the majority of the storyline revolves around all the Elves working together, as well as with the Fae to leave their own homes and return to the Elven lands that were hidden away long ago. Now that there is peace, the fates and oracles have told them what they must do to bring the Sentinels back home.
I do not want to say too much more, as it would be spoilers, with a lot going on. It was an interesting story, giving us a glimpse of the future, as well as leaving things open for Evart helping the Elves against his family. The Tratchar was a well written and entertaining story. A great addition to the series. You should read this series, and start with the first book to get to know all the characters.
