Elementas: Keepers: Book Three of Elementas Series
A crown forged in light.
A bond born in shadow.
Princess Miri of the Lihtari has spent her life preparing to be the greatest queen who ever lived. She knows every law, every border, every king and queen. What she does not know is that the god she serves is silent, the people her kingdom destroyed are living beneath her feet, and the goddess everyone fears has already decided her fate.
Her bondmate is a Dharkeri prince—a race that should not exist. Together, they are bound by a prophecy as old as the war that fractured the realm.
Raised to serve the light. Chosen to carry the darkness. Being the greatest queen who ever lived may come at too high a cost.

Another absolute banger in the series!
I’ve thoroughly enjoyed the Elementas series so far, and when Keepers came out, I was quick to set a space in my immediate tbr…IT WAS WORTH IT!
First thing is that it’s imperative to know that this is the first book in the series that shifts back to the mortal perspective, and that just means that every edge and danger counts.
Right away, we are given deeper insights into the world Haley Anna Marie has constructed, seeing more of the tendencies and attributes of the elemental races, and that is part of the awesome grimdark flavor of this series.
We get a better look at the alliances and prejudices that have settled into the races since the end of the War of the Gods, and it quickly becomes clear that the war may not be over after all.
In this book, you will find the clash of hope and tragedy, and beyond that you will have to see for yourself.
The characters are awesome, often taking turns in their development that will surprise you and keep you reading with fervor. I think I will not be the only one to find solid enjoyment in the character of Vexis, but there are so many that contribute so well to the story.
I absolutely love this storyline.
And readers, don’t forget: this is still grimdark, even if the point of view has changed.
To our skilled author, Haley: I’ll be seeing you again for the fourth book, and I have my credits ready for your audiobooks, keep them coming!

Just finished the latest book in the Elementas Series
This is a really strong entry in the series, my favourite so far. You might say not a lot happened, boy meets girl, forbidden love etc. However, it never felt laboured and flowed really well.
It was especially evident in this book that Haley's style of writing has an unusual tone and style. It gives an otherworldly effect at times, to the point of being slightly odd. It was almost as though it had been translated, with some rather interesting phrasing adding a quality which almost jarred. That nonetheless really works in the world she has created, and suits the fantasy Grimdark genre.
The book ends very abruptly, which very much contrasts with the rest of the novel in terms of pacing. It's quite a shocking ending, which I didn't see coming, but in hindsight all the signs were there.
There were some excellent characters in this book, Vexis in particular is probably my favourite of the series so far.
I enjoyed this installment and zoomed through in just a few sittings. A solid 4 stars from me, which I rate as very good. Can't wait to read book four!

Another great book! This one is a bit lighter with dark undertones at first. Then, quickly, things get wrapped up nice and tragic with that Grimdark flare and send you on your way knowing book 4 is gunna be intense. Also, Vex is definitely a favorite. Characters and World Building are both very well done
