Kingmaker Chronicles Book 5

SHE'LL BURN BRIGHT ENOUGH TO RIVAL GODS

Separated from everyone they know and love, sworn warriors (and warring allies) Bellanca and Carver are on a gods-given travel to the famed realm of Atlantis, fight through every danger that awaits them, and find the Shard of Olympus in order to end Atlantis's generations-long magical punishment—all in Zeus's name.

Zeus needs an army if he has any hope of stopping Olympus's bloody coup, and headstrong fire Magoi Bellanca knows it's her duty to deliver one no matter the cost…to herself, to her own growing magic, or to the man she's come to desire with all the flames in her heart.

He left everything behind in order to guard her back as she faces down her destiny, and Carver swears that together, they can overcome any obstacle. But finding the shard is no easy task, and it's not long before Bellanca and Carver are dragged into the center of a deadly game of gods…one not even their combined hearts may be strong enough to survive.

My Review: 5/5 Stars

Every time I pick up a book from this series, I am reminded how much I love this world! I’ve been waiting a while for Bellanca and Carver’s story, and I am so happy to say it did not disappoint! This might be my favorite of the series so far! Last we saw Bel and Carver’s, they accepted a mission to travel to Atlantis knowing they may never see their loved ones again. Their mission for Zeus sounds simple enough but it is anything but. They must find the Shard of Olympus and restore Atlantis’s magic. Atlantis has been cursed for a long time now and is ruled by a king who is terrible in his quest to restore his own magic. Together, Bel and Carver will face other gods, magical creatures, and those standing on their way to restore Atlantis. They are the leaders Atlantis deserves and they will do whatever they can to protect the people. Because even so far from their home, Atlantis feels like home too. Especially when they are together. This story had it all! I loved Bel and Carter’s journey to this happily ever after. We’ve patiently waited for these two figure out exactly who they are to one another. And again, did not disappoint when they finally let it happen. We also have some epic battles of magic and magical creatures. And a war between the Olympian gods that is unforgettable and changes just about everything. I just couldn’t put this story down! I always love coming back to this world. And I really hope we will get more stories! There is so much left to tell. 

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
