A reverse harem fantasy
Book one in the Magic Reborn Duology
Born into a dying kingdom, Princess Elena of Garius is certain her intelligence and compassion would make her a better ruler than Prince Leonardo, the man her father insists she marry to rule in her stead… a man rumored to have a cruel steak as deep as his father’s pockets.
As Elena tries to find a way to protect herself and her kingdom, she learns she is the key to the rebirth of magic into the Kingdom of Light. And her five guards have been preordained to help her—with the touch of their bodies to hers.
Magic has been dead so long that most people believe it’s a myth. But there’s no denying the ache in Elena’s chest or the feelings that consume her whenever her guards are near. Wicked feelings no princess should feel for one man, let alone five.
The cure for this strange madness is days away. And while her guards have sworn to protect her—even to their deaths—Prince Leonardo isn’t so quick to let her go. Not when he believes Elena is the mother of magic.
And he wants to claim her as his own.
Heiress of Light takes us back to the time of Kings, Queens and Royal Guards. Elena is a princess and her father has chosen her future husband. Elena wants none of it though. He's a cruel man and the more she learns about him, the more she worries for not only her future but the future of her Kingdom as well. Her upcoming marriage isn't the only thing going on though. Magic has been long dead in her world, believed to be myths and legends. The people believe in the prophecy though. After her encounter with a priestess, Elena has no choice but to become a believer too. With help from an unlikely source, she embarks on a journey with her guards to escape her future husband and figure out what is happening inside her. She's not the only one effected either. Something is going on with her guards as well. While most seem to embrace it, as they have vowed to protect her with their lives no matter what, not all of them can accept what's happening.
I enjoyed this book. It was well written and the story flowed smoothly. The relationships develop pretty rapidly but there's a reason for that. There was a good amount of drama outside of the relationships to build the story as well. Even though Elena is a princess, she's not whiny and helpless. She's thoughtful and caring yet strong and determined. This first book was about her and her guards and while the second book will tie back in to Elena, it seems to be about a new set of characters. There's a bit of a twist at the ending of this one.
