A call to destiny that will not be denied.
Melissa believed that her luck would change when she decided to clean up her life. But with her dream opportunity slipping through her fingertips once again; she finds herself praying to an empty room, hoping someone is listening.
The answering call of otherworldly beings takes her to a fantastical place with mythological creatures where she dances between a dream and a nightmare she can’t awaken from. As if learning to navigate a new planet isn’t enough, Melissa finds herself caught up in the attentions of a handsome elf. Even as she is whisked away into a whirlwind courtship, she can’t ignore that another set of eyes seems to be watching her from the dark.
With her unique group of dryads offering her protection and training, Melissa is beginning to feel like she can finally set down some roots of her own. Yet, she knows that she shouldn’t belong here. Can she survive the fear, suspicion, and monsters long enough to find a way home? Even if the price of returning requires the sacrifice of her heart?
The Dryad Chronicles is a Why Choose Fantasy Romance meaning that the heroine will end up with more than one love interest. This is book one in a series of five books. There is an older version of this story that was published in 3rd person
Rating & Review
5 out of 5
I love books that take you on an emotional roller coaster, tumbling you around. This book does that, all within the opening chapter. And it’s done so well that you’re hooked! I admit, the opening was at first a bit tame, and I was worried I was going to lose interest. Then Pey really ramped up my emotions, and once I thought my heart couldn’t break any more, things get really interesting. But if you want to know what happens after that, you’ll have to read this yourself (sorry, no spoilers). I think the thing that really stood out to me was the dept of the world-building and how well everything is described. I felt like I was experiencing things as they happened, slipping right into the story. The magic system was done really well, and I appreciated the glossary at the start of the book, so I wasn’t trying to jump to the back of the book and back into the story to look up terms. Overall, the early part of the opening had me skeptical, but by the end of chapter one I knew I was in for an amazing ride, and I enjoyed every moment of reading this.
