Kelderan Runic Warriors Book 4

KELDERAN RUNIC WARRIORS BOOK 4 
Princess Kalahn tro el Vallen has wanted a purpose beyond smiling and marrying some strategic connection her entire life. So when her brother proposes a way for her to help protect their family, she jumps at the chance and agrees to training. What she didn’t expect was for her trainer to be the male she kissed years ago and hasn’t been able to forget since. 



Ryven Xanna is not only one of the best warrior trainers in the Kelderan Army, but also best friend to a prince. So when his best friend invites him to participate in a secret operation that will rid the planet of traitors, Ryven doesn’t hesitate to join. True, the female he’s supposed to train is the same one he kissed in the past and wishes to kiss again, but he has the fortitude to resist her and complete his assignment. Only then can he ensure his mother’s future in the colony and the safety of his friend. 


As Ryven and Kalahn work together, the pull between them only grows until suddenly they’re connected in a way that they never could’ve foreseen. However, that connection could end up killing one of them if they continue with their plans. Will they both find a way to survive their mission and be with each other? Or, will duty trump all, including the life of one of them?

My Review: 5/5 Stars

Loved Kalahn and Ryven's story! Definitely my favorite from the series so far. I always wondered if there would be something between Kalahn and Ryven way back in book one when we met them, and I was super glad that it happened! Their story takes place shortly after the last book. Kalahn learned that she had more family and is determined to connect with her half-sister that is currently residing on Jasvar with herself and her brother Kason. However, their meeting comes with the dangers of an assassin threatening the royal family. Kalahn is finally given a chance to be more than the helpless princess she is expected to be. She will do whatever it takes to protect her family and that is tested throughout the story. Ryven is assigned to protect Kalahn and her sister, as well as train Kalahn to protect herself. Their chemistry and attraction to one another is something they try to fight but that is a battle neither one want to really win.

This story also revealed some pretty awesome abilities in their race that makes the story become even more interesting. I really don't want to spoil anything because it is pretty awesome. Their "unseen connection" is a cool twist to the story that is explored very well and i hope is something we get more in the future with other characters. Another thing i would like to see in the future the sister Kalahn meets, Kajala. I believe there is another story there and I really hope it is one we get to see! 

I received an ARC for an honest review.
