Expected 17 Mar 26Legacy. Talent. Beauty. Power.
Cassara Allencourt had it all and she wore it like a crown. She knew exactly who she was—first of her class, heir to a legacy, and too powerful to fail.
Overnight, her world shatters and Cassara is forced to fight for every inch of status she once took for granted. Failure isn’t an option—not when it means returning home, forfeiting her future, and marrying the boy who sees her as a prize to possess.
But the battlefield isn't the only place she's losing control.
There's her combat instructor, forbidden and dangerous, whose touch she shouldn't crave and whose attention burns like a brand.
And the disciplined rival forced to fight beside her, the only one who sees past her armor and dares to challenge what's beneath.
Torn between the instructor she shouldn't want, the rival who challenges everything she thought she knew, and a future that was decided for her long ago, Cassara must decide what's worth more—her freedom or her heart.
Because at Vallemont, power is survival, love is a liability…
And the beasts aren’t the only ones who bite.

Review of advance copy
Aetherian Legacy brings a fresh take to the world of fantasy with Tamed, a story that blends romance, magic, and self-discovery in a beautifully crafted world. Avelley Greer does an excellent job of developing complex characters and relationships that pull you in from the very first page.
The chemistry between the main characters is undeniable, and the slow-burn romance feels genuine, with emotional stakes that really drive the narrative forward. The protagonist's journey of growth, both personally and in terms of their bond with others, is what really makes the story shine. It’s a tale of vulnerability, strength, and learning to trust again.
The world-building is immersive, filled with rich details that draw you deeper into the Aetherian world. Greer’s writing creates a vivid atmosphere, and while the pacing slows down in some spots, the emotional payoff is well worth it. There’s an undeniable magic to the story, and it’s easy to get swept away by the beauty of the characters’ journey.
I received this as an EARC, and I’m so glad I did. Tamed is a captivating read for fans of romantic fantasy, with just the right balance of emotional depth and magical intrigue.

Disclaimer: I was sent this book as an ARC by the author. All views are mine and have not been influenced by anybody else.
Avelley Greers writing goes from strength to strength. From Elliam and Briar to Cassara, Auren and Gideon the depth of her characters is wonderful to see. I do recommend checking trigger warnings before reading as all of them touch of darker subject matter.
Cassaras world is mix of steampunk elements, fantasy, and a layered love story which had me binge reading this over a couple of days and I'm going to be watching for the next book in the series. I don't normally buy a physical copy of ARC reads but I have with Greers books as they are too good to put down. If you'd like something a bit different then I highly recommend Tamed. I'm putting this one up there with Fourth Wing in my favourites.

✨ ARC Review ✨
Cassara Allencourt had the legacy, the talent, the power. Then Vallemont said: earn it.
She's fighting for her rank, her freedom, and a future that refuses to stay "arranged" and quiet. Add in a forbidden combat instructor, a rival forced to stand at her side, and an arcanepunk world crawling with beasts... and suddenly survival gets complicated.
Tamed is giving power games, sharp yearning, and danger with teeth. The world building is perfect, I was drawn in from the beginning. The slow burn romance & sexual tension is 🔥 I enjoyed watching the FMC come alive & get comfortable in her own skin. I definitely recommend you adding this one to your TBR.
