Forgotten Kingdoms Book 8: Of Claws & Chaos by M. Sinclair

 

Forgotten Kingdoms Book 8

A forsaken wolf princess.

A new king risen to power.

One opportunity to unite their broken lands and love.

Overcome by the exhaustion of her monotonous day-to-day life, all Evera wants is one fun night out. A chance to escape a rigorous work schedule that drains her of all semblance of happiness. When a mysterious portal consumes the air before her and an enigmatic, intense man pulls her through, she wonders if her wish is being granted.

As she’s swept into a foreign, magical land she doesn’t recognize, Evera finds herself separated from the man who pulled her there—a man who not only knew her name, but seemingly everything about her.

Completely alone, Evera treks through a mountainous landscape to reach the Kingdom of Nightfall. With each step, she encounters its foreboding and mysterious qualities, making it clear that she’s not on Earth anymore.

Arriving in Nightfall brings more questions than answers, though, as she discovers that not only does she have royal blood, but there’s a primal magic running through her veins that allows her the ability to shift into a wolf. What startles Evera the most to learn is that she had a life in this world before—with the very man who stole her through the portal: Axel, the King of Nightfall.

Memories begin to resurface, and she quickly recalls that Axel had been the only person she trusted—the only one standing between her and the darkness of her parents’ rule. But has time changed the man who once swore to protect her?

A war is waged between two kingdoms upon news of her return, and Evera is the prize.

A single question wreaks havoc in Evera’s heart: Does she want to belong to anyone at the end of this?

My Review: 5/5 Stars

The final book of this series has arrived! And it was a great one to close the series on. It was definitely one of my favorites of this series. Evera’s life hasn’t been all that great. She’s exhausted from trying to stay afloat and wants one night out with her best friend. But things are never that simple. Not when two men catch her off guard and seem to be enemies. Though she is quick to realize that one is definitely her enemy while the other is…someone who feels pretty safe to her. And if that wasn’t enough, she falls through a magic portal where she learns some pretty interesting stuff about herself. Like how she was princess who sacrificed herself fifty years before to save everyone. Now back where she belongs, her memories are slowly coming back and one thing she remembers the best? Axel. Her bodyguard who is now a king. A king of a land he rebuilt to oppose her parents’ and the darkness they bring to their kingdom. A lot has changed since she died, including Axel himself. As Evera tries to regain the rest of her memories and the magic inside her, part of which is her ability to shapeshift into a wolf, she needs to find a way to help bring peace to a kingdom that needs it so much. I really loved Evera and Axel’s dynamic. Before she died, Axel never believed he was worthy of Evera, especially when he was just a guard. But he loved her all the same. This time, they get a chance to have the future they both have desperately wanted and definitely deserve. A great end to this series for sure!
