Eternal Darkness The Amagarians Book 1 eBook Stacy Reid AuthorsDesigns

The Amagarians series is a departure for author Stacy Reid, who has previously published historical romance novels. But her secret is out - not only can she write fun and exciting historicals, she's got the makings of being a great new voice in the fantasy romance genre as well. This first story in the series introduces us to a fascinating world with seven realms. While one of these realms is Earth, none of the action in this story takes place there (though it could in the future). Instead it focuses mostly on two of the other realms, the Boreas and the Darkage. The Boreas is a land of wind and mountains, with a healing elixir valued by all the realms for its power. Our heroine Princess Saieke has been promised in marriage to the king of Nuria, the kingdom of eternal fire, a man who had wrought destruction in the last great war and one Saieke is determined won't rule her realm. Her parents have arranged this marriage in hopes of strengthening their country through an alliance, but Saieke is desperate to postpone the inevitable. Fleeing in advance of his arrival, she intends to go to the Earth realm, but assassins from Mevia, the kingdom of sound, force her to take shelter in the Darkage, the kingdom of darkness and shadow. Its reputation is fearful, and Saieke isn't sure whether ending up there is any better than her arranged marriage. But when she meets Archduke Drac, a shadow assassin, she is drawn to him despite his inner demon. Saieke's one chance to avoid her arranged marriage without disgracing her kingdom is to take a lover, a consort who would then make her less desirable in marriage. When she chooses to seduce Drac, the tables are turned when he claims her instead despite the fact that mating her is against the laws of his kingdom. With traps all around her, Saieke must choose whether aligning herself with Drac will ultimately strengthen her kingdom or lead to war.

The key to a good fantasy story (at least for me) is to have compelling world building that details the kingdoms in question, hopefully without becoming too bogged down with intricate details from the start. It should give a general understanding of the land, followed by more and more information as the reader becomes comfortable with the characters, magic systems etc. This was done expertly in this story, gradually showcasing the differences between the realms and building a wonderfully detailed picture of those that this particular novel focussed on (the Darkage and the Boreas) while still giving a good introduction of some of the other realms. This made for a fascinating picture of where Saieke and Drac are from, their differences in ability and powers, and the clear understanding that under normal circumstances they would never have met. It's only because Saieke has sought refuge in the Darkage that they interact with each other, their first meeting fraught with an underlying attraction that doesn't fade as they spend more time together. In a paranormal romance, the citizens of the Darkage would be equivalent to a vampire/demon mix, with their avoidance of sunlight, their ability to exist and use shadows to move and strengthen themselves, and their propensity to bite and drink blood during sex. Each citizen living in the Darkage also carries within them a demon, a beast who they transform into in times of necessity, and this beast can take one of several forms, the form it will take in any particular being existing as a tattoo on their right shoulder. (how cool is that!). While Drac comes across as a dark and sensual creature, his darkness is tempered by his obvious care and affection for his family, something Saieke is shocked to discover as the pervading rumours of Darkage citizens give only death and destruction as their norm. He is in fact a complex and fascinating man, one who has control of the beast inside him but who has no compunction in letting him out in order to protect Saieke from threats - and there are many, as the factions who tried to assassinate her once won't be satisfied until they succeed. While Drac is a sexy alpha male type, Saieke is a more delicate woman, though still one of great internal strength and fortitude. She would not have fought her duty to marry for the good of her kingdom if she hadn't held the strong conviction that it would benefit only the invading king, and not her people. While her plan to escape to Earth has failed, her next best option is to ally herself with Drac and his kingdom, and so she sets out to do this. But along the way, her feelings for Drac become much more complicated, as do his feelings for her.

As the story proceeds, the political intrigue and action moves along at a smooth and quick pace, keeping the reader engaged and interested in the story from the beginning to the end. Drac and Saieke share several steamy scenes together, the heat and intensity between them making it obvious that Saieke's initial plan to take Drac as her consort won't be enough for either of them. I loved the two of them together, Saieke's light balancing Drac's darkness and making them a dynamic and interesting couple. There are several secondary characters introduced throughout the story, all fascinating in their own right and ones destined to have a story all their own. As a helpful guide there is a short glossary at the end of the story, detailing the seven realms and a few of the other terms used in the story that describe their magical systems. I can't wait to see what comes next in this series! 5 stars.

Eternal Darkness The Amagarians Book 1 eBook Stacy Reid AuthorsDesigns Reviews

Eternal Darkness (The Amagarians #1) by Stacy Reid starts us in a world where Princess Saieke Shyokara decided she is not going to stick around for her arraigned marriage and the best option is the make the trek to the gate that leads to Earth and disappear. We never actually make it to Earth, instead assassins try to kill her before she gets to the land and her only option is to cross into the land controlled by Darkans. Lucky for her Archduke Drac EL Kyn decides not to kill her.

The Darkan land is a mysteries place with a pretty bad rep, this is because the people that live there share their bodies with a demon. Those demons are not nice and it’s bad if they get control! Princess Saieke meets the Darkan king who wants to open lines of communication with the outside world, but is really Archduke Drac that holds her attention, especially since she thinks he could be her ticket out of that pesky marriage she isn’t interested it, if only Drac would be more cooperative.

A couple of problems I ran into were some spelling and grammar errors that were noticeable; it wasn’t too bad but could use a bit more editing. Names were difficult and that caused them to be a bit of a distraction from the story. As the authors first book she did pretty good.

Over all this was a fast paced read that was entertaining. There was quite a bit of violence and graphic sex making this an adult book.
I received a copy of this book from the author for an honest review. *Note I also preordered the book so I read from that after I received it)
My favorite Stacy Reid book so far! The story just sucks you in and holds you enraptured until the very end.

Drac and Saieka, from two different kingdoms and two very different beings find one another in very hard times for her. Saieka is a princess and he an archduke. But Drac is also a very dangerous man to be around, his people are dangerous. Saieka delves into their world for a time and discovers how wonderful his people can be and in finding a way to help bring them prosperity she finds her soulmate. From there she has to fight to get rid of a king that would have her hand no matter her situation only to be attacked yet again. The kingdoms are all on the brink of war so in turning down and refusing one kingdom she invites an alliance with one much stronger.

I absolutely loved this book. I couldn't put it down and the erotic scenes were very much erotic and tasteful at the same time.

One thing I would have to mention was the grammatical errors found were annoying. Some of the sentences because of it were also confusing.

Over all I really loved this book so I rated it a 5 out of 5 stars!
So, I tend to only read paranormal romance occasionally, but I'm really glad I read this one. The story has common paranormal elements (the Darkans are sort of like a unique mix between shifters and vampires, plus there's the concept of a mate) but it also has a few elements I might consider more fantasy (it takes place in a non-earth world that consists of seven kingdoms...there's political intrigue between the kingdoms and also some elemental magic going on). I think Stacy Reid does a great job of world building--enough to create the atmosphere but not enough to bog down readers with unnecessary detail.

Now, on to the main characters and the romance... Princess Saieke and Drac are wonderful together. Saieke is brave and generous. She's also more humorous than Drac (it's really sweet when she teases him because he's so stern and brooding). I also love how Saieke stands up to him when he goes alpha on her. The two characters balance each other really well. I should also mention there's a lot (a lot!) of sexual attraction between them, and the sex scenes are pretty hot. All in all, a great read! I'm really looking forward to the next book.
