I absolutely adore connecting with other authors! And when they have books as fun as this one, it makes it even better!
These characters ran me through the wringer. Darian seriously gives me whiplash. FIGURE IT OUT DUDE, USE YOUR DANG WORDS PLEASE!!!! Eleyana should have hit him sooner lol.
Eleyana is a missing princess stolen away by the people who'd taken everything from her and her family seven years ago. After hiding for so long, she created a life away from being a princess, which is a secret she needs to keep to herself no matter what. But when the charismatic and handsome prince worms his way into her heart, she struggles to trust the person she's pulled toward, knowing that the only way this is heading is heartbreak.

A great first novel by Helen Archer introducing us to a fascinating world of interesting and complex characters. Where the motives and actions of the characters take us on an intriguing journey where the lines of trust and betrayal are blurred.

A very impressive debut and I look forward to the next installment of Eleya's saga!

Filled with action from start to finish, Bonds of Betrayal describes what happens when a princess in hiding is found by her enemies. Sparks fly between the two main characters but the fate of the Eight Kingdoms hangs in the balance. Riveting!

A fun action packed fantasy with an enemies to lovers romance. Filled with twists and turns, you never quite know who Eleya can trust as she faces the people who took her kingdom and killed her family. Great for fans of From Blood and Ash, and the Red Queen Series.

An utterly fantastic story that i could not put down. i was totally immersed within the narrative and especially the complexity of the relationship between Darian and Eleyana.
