The Warrior by M.A. Abraham – Review & Giveaway
Amazon / B&N / Kobo / Apple / Smashwords
Description:
Ilénè is a Dark Elven Elite warrior of repute, one who knows her worth. She has led her father’s elite squad for the last one hundred years, but she is getting tired of the constant drill. She has decided it is time to settle down and have a family. The question is with whom?
Kestriel was raised in the way of the ancient High Elven people, and he serves as one of the Guardians of the Empire. It is an honour and one he appreciates to the fullest. He has no intentions of soiling his hands on an Elven female of questionable repute. Until he meets Ilénè.
The moment Kestriel meets Ilénè, he knows he has met his Life Mate. The trouble with this is that he grew up with the impression that it was the male who should be the aggressor in a budding relationship, not the woman. What is a poor Elven Dragon shifter to do?
Review:
The Warrior by M.A. Abraham is the 4th 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. We learned of the different portals in earlier books, such as the Elven lands and the human Valley land. There are more that we meet moving forward.
Ilene, our heroine, is a Dark Elven Elite Warrior, who happens to be best friends with Cambria & her sister, Gabriella (General of the Elven Army), both from the strong Eagle Claw family. Early on, Ilene comes face to face with one of the ancient Guardians of the Empire, who turns out to be her lifemate.
Kestriel, our hero, is a true warrior and powerful Guardian. One look at Ilene, he is hooked for life and thrilled to have met such a wonderful warrior in her own right, in Ilene. It was fun to watch the two of them desperate to do the bonding, and getting interrupted along the way.
The storyline also continues with Evart, who is the youngest son of the King, as in the previous book, he helped send away Sonya and later Alexis to their safety with the Elves. When Evart’s father, and brothers are away trying to invade the lands of the Elves, Evart works with everyone to clean up the estate, get food, and earn the respect of the workers. But when his family returns, he is regulated back to handling the financials, until he senses an evil entity in far basement. When Evart and one of his brothers tries to research this, a terrible evil entity escapes. Both Sonya and Alexis sense something wrong with Evart (the entire family is affected).
What follows is an exciting and wild adventure where Gabriella, Ilene, Cambria and all the Guardians, High Elves, Tracthars, Dragons and powerful sons and daughters of the sun must step in to find the evil entity and destroy it before he creates more havoc. This was an exciting story totally involving all the Elves, with Evart and his family under the strange spell. There is no doubt that though it might be awhile until she gets her story and lifemate, Gabriella is the major star of this series, as she is a fantastic warrior, as well as Gabriel’s descendant.
I do not want to say too much more, as it would be spoilers, with a lot going on. It was a fun, exciting, action-filled story, as we follow the fantastic characters Abraham has created in this series. The Warrior was a fun and entertaining story line, written very well by M.A. Abraham. You should read this series, and start with the first book to get to know all the characters.
