Review
Ardent is the first installment in the ArcKnight Chronicles
a paranormal romance about two packs of shifters. Two sisters one destined to
be the Queen of the pack the other her little sister each has a future that
neither one expects. Rafaela is to be married to Gil the future pack leader but
while she may be invested in their future marriage it’s clear that Gil isn’t as
faithful. Lily’s Ardent Talisman is stole but she covers for the friend who she
know stole it and ends up banished from the only home she’s known. Forced onto
the streets in the middle of two waring wolf packs could mean death for most
but even though she’s royal Lily won’t give up without a fight.
When Lily encounters a rival wolf she finds a strange
connection and the support she so desperately needs. Ephrem at one time was betrothed to marry Lily
but before that could happen everything changed, but he never stopped thinking
about her. Now that she’s back in his life he’s determined to protect her at
all cost. With the help of Ephrem she finds her talisman belonging to the
future pack leader of the MarkTier pack. However Lily isn’t the only one with
issues Rafaela is now married to Gil and since she hasn’t created an heir he’s
decided he needs another wife. Will she be able to change her future of end up
being pushed aside?
I like both Lily and Rafaela they each have a unique
intertwining story a path that will lead them each for greatness. Both girls
also have true champions Lily has Ephrem and Ella with Alec together they have
a long road ahead but I can only imagine where it’s going to end. I think the
guys are perfect for our royal princess’s they complement them each very well.
I was super excited about Alexia Purdy having a new shifter
series because it’s one of my favorite themes and I love her books. I actually
picked up all three because I hate waiting for the next one. Ardent is a fast
paced novel it’s loaded with action, mystery, romance and magic. I love the
characters they are easy to connect with and what’s not to love about kick ass
werewolf princess. The concept is intriguing the idea of two packs of shifters
fighting over a single town while a new threat looms in the fog. Loved every
moment of Ardent it’s a well written captivating story that I can’t wait to
finish. I’m a huge fan of the authors writing style it just flows along so
smooth and it’s hard to put down had to finish it in a single sitting. My only
complaint is that they are short novels and I know I’m going to want more when
it ends.
