King of Sword and Sky Audiobook Summary

Rain, the proud and haunted Fey King, risked everything to follow his heart and his destiny to Ellysetta–his truemate, his love, the woodcarver’s daughter who possessed miraculous gifts she did not understand. He defied the nobles of Celieria to claim her, battled demons and Elden mages to wed her. And now he must protect her–and his imperiled kingdom–with magic, steel, and scorching flame. For his soul-kin, the magical tairen, are dying, and only the Fey King’s bride can save them . . . if Rain can help his beloved embrace the magic within her and forge the unbreakable bond of passion and power necessary to save her soul.

It's really a shame that these books are classified as Romance, because I feel they would appeal to a much larger audience were they not. Cheryl Wilson has crafted a marvelous fantasy world complete with all the elements including a language for her Fey. Her characters are complex and her pacing is some of the best I've seen. Yes, there are romantic elements, but they are not gratuitous at all and add to the complexity of her story. I found myself many a night staying up to read far later than I should have because I just couldn't put it away. My only complaint is Book 3 ends on such a cliff-hanger I will surely perish waiting until June to get the next installment! (Like that is a complaint, ha ha ha!)If you have shied away from this series because of the classification, don't! Lord of the Fading Lands, Lady of Light and Shadow, King of Sword and Sky and Queen of Song and Souls belong in Fantasy Realm Royalty.Beylah vo, Cheryl!

"Ve sha kem'tani. Kem'san. Kem'reisa" You are my mate. My Heart. My soul. With hands and words and lips and teeth, he claimed her, declaring possession, marking her with his touch, his kiss, his breath, the scent of his skin rubbing her with hot friction, singing to her soul. Rain and Ellysetta have left Celieria, knowing that their enemy is going to attack soon. Ellie is sad to be leaving her family and the only life she has ever known. Ellie knows her destiny is to save the Fey, even though she has no idea how she will be able to do it. Rain, as the Fey King, knows that he must do everything to save his people. When they arrive to the Fading Lands, Rain is determined to show Ellie how to access her magic. Rain begins to show Ellysetta the Fading Lands, the Tairen who accept her, in more ways than they ever excepted his first wife. At first the trust between the Fey and Ellie are shady at best, they don't know what to make of her. They respect her because of her bond to Rain, but they don't trust the dark magic that is stamped on Ellyetta, though she is innocent. When it becomes clear that the kits of the Tairen are dying, Ellie and Rain start working on discovering the reason why. Ellysetta's power starts to become even more pronounced before, and Ellie starts to discover more about herself and her abilities. She desires to refine them, so she will be able to help the Tairen and the Fey. To prove that she only wants to save them from the dark magic that threatens everything they hold dear.King of Sword and Sky is the third installment in the Tairen Soul series. I have heard of this author for years, but not until recently did I decide to try it out. The first two books I just fell in love with instantly. King of Sword and Sky goes alot more into depth, and there is quite a bit that happens in the story. As it begins you see how the difficulty that Ellie has even from first entering the Fading Lands. Even though she has a Dark Mage marker stamped on her, Ellie has more power than anyone knows. With the protection of the Fading Lands, Ellie and Rain start to train and search for a way to save both the Tairen and the Fey. The story is pretty complex in this one, and I don't want to reveal too much for those that haven't had a chance to read this one yet. The plot has many twists and turns that only hold the reader enthralled through the whole story. As you go through the story, you see that the focus is on Ellie, and how she works on refining her abilities so she can save the Kitlings of the Tairen who keep dying. The relationship between Rain and Ellie becomes ever more stronger than ever before. The faith that Rain has in Ellie is precious, and how protective he is of her, despite how his people distrust her. Certain truths are revealed from the eye of Truth, that makes the relationship between Rain and his people even less trustworthy than before. But with a battle up ahead soon, Rain and his people will need to work together to defeat a enemy that only desires to destroy everything.Rain and Ellysetta are charming characters, and I couldn't help but love them even more. The bond they have is strengthened even more in this story than the first two books. There is quite a bit that goes on, that the challenges and the multiple conflicts that Rain and Ellie are faced with only bring them even closer. Rain becomes more Alpha Male pronounced in this book. Way more protective and possessive than you see in previous books. I enjoyed how he handles the situations they are put in. There is quite a bit of intensity at times, and Ellie for the most part, just accepts it. Ellysetta, I enjoyed seeing this heroine face the conflict even more than Rain. She has much more against her at times, and she has this inner strength that I admired from the beginning. She tends to handle everything with grace and patience.Overall I really enjoyed how well everything is put together, and the way the plot proceeds. A exciting and enticing story of a world where good and evil battle. A dazzling and emotionally woven tale of love, destiny, and passion. POWERFUL!!!

This is a combined review over the 5 books of this Series.OK...so I read all 5 of this series non stop this weekend...I just couldn't put this series down for the life of me.Yes, it does drag on in parts and found myself skimming over paragraphs but overall this was a freakin fantastic series full of Fey, Dragons, Mages, Elves and so many other characters...but...who won my heart??Ellie - shit...she was a perfect main character and stole the book for me. From the beginning, the way the author developed her character was perfect and sublime!Rain - Another freaking awesome character...shit, I might as just say that all the characters in this book stole a piece of my heart. The one thing I'm a bit upset about is that I don't see any books for Ellie's little sisters and their brave Fey warriors who protected them. I would have loved to see more from this series from the secondary characters.

This truly is the epitome of the term “addictive”. Warning y’all now (in case you haven’t already succumbed) once that first book is read, the need to continue (without stopping) only gets worse with each new installment! This story is the perfect example, because much of the story seems to be setting up all the pieces, then calling them out for what is about to happen in future installments. Yet, by the time I closed that last page, I was panting for more. Weird!! Because, no matter what, somehow, someway, the author succeeds in wresting your heart right out your body and leaving you aching to see what’s next. See? Addiction in its truest form!

[8.73/10] - reread September 2021I agree with past me, that King of Sword and Sky is miles better than the proceeding books in this series. And, I think a lot of that is to do with the fact that it feels like it shifts away from the romance as the focal point and brings more of the fantasy elements of the world as well as politics and war to the forefront. The romance is still there but there is more of a balance in this book. We also get elements of romance from different characters so it feels less bogged down by Rain and Ellysetta's extremely quick relationship. This book seems to also ignore the timeline issues from the previous two books and resets them so that it's definitely more than ten days that have past since the beginning of the book one. Yes, this is shoddy in terms of consistency but makes it much easier to swallow the plot movement and emotional arcs. And, we get to spend so much more time with the Tairen Pride in this book, so that's always gonna be free bonus points from me! Original read - 5 starsThis was the best one yet! I loved the Fading Lands, the political manoeuvring, the Tairen Pride and the race to save them, the Mages and the fact that they just keep getting more and more vile, but what I loved most of all were the hero moments. Both Ellysetta and Rain are a King and Queen I can get behind. The lead up to the battles at the end was so tense and the battles even more so. Again, more plot threads that seemed inconsequential in the first two books are brought to fruition in this one, yet there are still so many unanswered questions. I love everything about Wilson's writing. I cannot wait to read on!

*Reread November 2018*“Do you love me, Rain?""More than I knew it was possible to love. All the stars will fall from the heavens before I ever stop.”Loving this series so much! Now that I'm finally all caught up with my reread of the first three books, I'm excited see how everything will go from here! 4,25/5★★★★

Less sexy time, more action and we have a better book! King of Sword and Sky was addictive and easy to read like Lord of the Fading Lands, not boring like Lady of Light and Shadows. I am hoping right into the next book, because I can't wait to find out what happens next. So much intrigue and danger!
