The Princess by M.A. Abraham – Review & Anniversary Celebration Giveaways
Description:
Serena has escaped from her father’s control. She will not be held captive, not by a father who would mate her to one of his prime Dragon shifters, not even if the man is an Elven Prince.
Thieron returns to his home from a mission, only to find out that he has to go out again. This is not what he had planned, and he is not happy about having to change those plans. Not for a spoiled Elven Princess who won’t listen to reason.
They are both surprised, when they meet face to face to find that they are life mates, but it is never that simple with a Light Elven maiden
Review:
The Princess by M.A. Abraham is the 2nd book in her Guardians of the Empire series. The Princess is set in the same world as Abraham’s wonderful Elven Chronicles series, with this taking place long after the finale, and with a different set of characters. When that series ended, all surviving humans were granted a land called The Valley, where they were able to live prosperous and in peace. Over the years, these humans did not remember the Elves, who were hidden and unseen in their portal. In the first book, we met the Guardians of the Empire, with Chania and Daeron as our heroine/hero.
The Princess begins with Thieron, the right hand man of King Gerolth being sent to find the King’s daughter, Serena, Chania’s sister and our heroine in this book. When Thieron goes to the Valley, he is stymied by the young and older elves, who are protecting the whereabouts of Serena. Serena and Chania are having fun and neither wants to go home. When he finally finds Serena, to his shock, he sees she is his lifemate. From there on in, Thieron will follow Serena to protect her, as will his brother Daeron (who follows Chania), as they return to the Valley with King Gerolth, who is looking at caves that can fit all of these huge Dragon shifters. But soon they will meet with the Valley King, Britallia, and others to prepare for another possible attack on the Valley.
Another side story surrounds the enemy from the first book, who plan another attack. Evart, one of the princes, helps his sister, Sonja escape. She has been kept hidden from his father and brothers, as woman are looked down on and easily killed. When she reaches the Valley, she will reveal all the secrets, especially the new threat of war. This will bring together all who fought in the previous books, such great characters, as Gabriella, Britallia, Chania and all of the Guardians of the Empire, many of whom are looking at the women who may be their lifemates.
What follows is a fun, humorous and interesting story , where we will follow these wonderful women, great warriors/dragons as they prepare once again for a major battle for survival.
This is a difficult review, as much of the story revolves around Serena and Chania with their lifemates, King Gerolth meeting the people from the Valley, and then bringing in High Lord General (Gabriella) as well as the Guardians as they start preparations that will continue in the next book. The Princess was an entertaining, fun, and serious story line, with a wonderfuj cast of characters. I for one I cannot wait to see what comes next. I suggest you start with The Goddess, and then follow-up with The Princess. Once again M.A. Abraham entertains us with another promising series.

Thanks, Mary Ann for your wonderful giveaways to help celebrate our anniversary.
Loved the review Barb. It will be around this time next year when ‘The Priestess’ is released, but you can expect the others to come a lot faster after that, with ‘The Warrior’, ‘The Tratchar’ and ‘The General’ coming out at approximately 6 month intervals thereafter. ‘The Priestess’ has been written. ‘The Warrior’ is close to going into first stage editing. ‘The Tratchar’ has an outline for the first half already, and ‘The General’ has been half finished. I expect to be writing into 2022 releases well before the end of this year.
You are a prolific writer, Mary. So many already written, so many to come. I don’t know how you do it. 🙂
I would probably do less if I slept more. Do my best work sitting up in that bed. LOL
