Synopsis 

In a world in which dreams are guarded and nightmares are unsanctioned, one woman’s unraveling mind may hold the key to everything the empire fears.


Elysia has spent her life thus far beneath the white clouds of the Dromin elves, protected from nightmares and the Nithrin elves that feed on them—until now. Her dreams have begun to twist into haunting scenes of ancient creatures, death . . . and a mysterious figure cloaked in light and shadow. Elysia suspects he’s a Dromin elf breaking multiple laws to appear to her, and his whispered words and lingering touch ignite a spark between them that the gods themselves will soon fear.


When the queen dies and a brutal selection process to replace her begins, Elysia quickly realizes the waking world is fracturing alongside her sleeping one. Women across the empire are offered to the elven high priestess, put forward as potential heads for a crown drenched in blood and lies. Elysia finds herself at the center of the trials, and if she’s to survive them, she’ll have to decide what she’s willing to fight for—and if she can live with the choices she’s forced to make. Because only one will be chosen as queen, but all will be broken in the process.


Elysia eventually ascends into the elven world to find the one who stirred her heart is waiting there, but his true identity is far more dangerous than she ever imagined. Choosing each other will mean forsaking the world they’re trying to save . . .


My Review


I received Where Dreams Fall in return for an honest review. 


Elysia has lived a quiet life her dreams have gotten a little more into nightmares recently but her family is well. When the current fae queen dies suddenly all the women of age are called to be selected for the new queen. Her village chooses her and she's forced to leave her family and only home. However, if she's chosen her village will prosper. Things in the fae courts aren't what they seem and making it to coronation is dangerous. 


I love Elysia she's such a great character even before the selection started you can't help liking her. She's a genuinely good person who will risk it all to save those she cares about. Rhune is kind of a perfect he's the underdog who has spent his whole life living in his brothers shadows. They have this spark and I just loved it as the relationship is sweet but undeniable. 


I devoured this one in one afternoon I couldn't put it down so obsessed with Elysia's story. I was hooked from the very first chapter till the last page. I need the next one like yesterday because I'm having severe book hangover waiting. The characters are easy to connect with you can't help cheering them on through the story. 


I loved everything about this book it's a perfect balance of story and action with just a touch of romance. I'm a huge fan of the author every book of hers I just fall head over heels in love with the characters and story. The cover is as beautiful as the story within it is. A truly captivating romantasty that stole a little place in my heart. I addicted to all her stories but this may just be my favorite as Elysia is just such an amazing character. Highly recommend if you enjoy Romantasy it's a must read.
