The fae call it the Wishing Stone—a rare gem that arrives like a shooting star every millennium. The Stone grants its finder one wish. Any wish. No matter what’s asked.
And today, the Wishing Stone has come.
Before I can catch my breath, I’m after the Stone. Due to a mysterious illness my uncle’s contracted, only the Stone’s magic will save him, but thousands of fae will kill to get their wish, making the hunt deadly.
I try to stay safe, but when my luck runs out, an Imperial Warrior saves me from sure demise, and following that, our paths keep crossing.
Kole won’t reveal his reasons for hunting the Stone, but he’s strong, broody, and his elusive smile is positively addictive.
We soon join forces, but when the true reason for Kole’s presence arises, I learn that not just my uncle needs saving because my very soul and the heart of my kingdom are suddenly on the line.
Stone of Legends is book one in Fae of Legends & Lore, a fae fantasy romance trilogy that takes place in Krista Street's Supernatural World. This series contains slow-burn spicy romance, a cheerful heroine, a broody hero, epic worldbuilding, and a dash of treacherous mystery that will keep you guessing until the end.
Krista Street loves writing about coming of age characters who fight to find their place in this world while also finding their one true mate.
Krista Street is a Minnesota native but has lived throughout the U.S. and in another country or two. She loves to travel, read, and spend time in the great outdoors. When not writing, Krista is either chasing her children, spending time with her husband and friends, sipping a cup of tea, or enjoying the hidden gems of beauty that Minnesota has to offer.
I loved this so much!! I love everything Krista Street writes, and this was no different. She’s never written an MC that I didn’t like and didn’t become completely invested in.
I’m so keen for the next installment, and I’m so glad that it’s only a month away, but OMG IT’S A WHOLE MONTH AWAY!!
I knew the cliffhanger was coming… I knew it was coming, and I was still absolutely WRECKED!!! I have read almost all of Krista Streets books and honestly I hit the end every time and am still left floored and waiting (im)patiently for the next book and this book was no different! Stone of Legends was such a great read! I loved Prim right from the beginning. She’s endlessly optimistic, she makes friends easily, and she loves deeply. Just an all around amazing character! I also really liked Kole, I would love to see some chapters from his POV so I could get a deeper understanding of him and his motivation. But he was a stoic, possessive, protective character who seems to be smitten with Prim. There were so many twists and turns in this book that I really couldn’t for even a second imagine putting this book down because I needed to know what was going to happen next. So if you’re in the mood for a grumpy/sunshine romance, with lots and lots of tension and pining, some hilarious banter, a rollercoaster ride of what’s going to happen next moments, and an ending that’ll have you flipping pages like what do you mean that’s the end while looking for the release date for book two then I highly recommend grabbing a copy of Stone of Legends today!
Such an epic tale. Prim grabbed me from day one with her heart, strength, and positivity. Her love for her family was clear from page one. Because of that she has committed to a dangerous journey far north to find the Wishing Stone to save her uncle Timith from his illness. The only family she’s ever known. Legends say that if you find the stone, you can make a wish, and it will come true. Hundreds are chasing the stone and the dangers across the fae realm are real and could lead to death, but Prim has a few tricks up her sleeve. During her journey she meets a Warrior Fae, Kole, and a truce brings them together as they journey further north. The story and plot was so good and the steam and angst made me twitchy in all the right ways cannot wait to see how the story continues in book 2. That cliffhanger made me sad, but I know Krista will do right by her readers! 5 stars!
What an adventurous quick read, I just didn't want to put it down. I have read most of Krista Street's books and love her Supernatural world. This story was no different.
Prim is a determined Fae who wants to save her uncle as he has fallen mysteriously ill. Her only thoughts are of trying to save him. So she's going on a quest to find the Wishing stone that will grant the finder a single wish. Along her journey she runs into many other Fae who are also looking for the stone and not all of them are nice. But her strength, drive and positivity keep moving her forward. As well as her unique and secret magic. While searching for the stone she encounters Kole a royal guard, who happened to be in the right place at the right time, when some unfortunate things have occurred. Kole tells Prim he is out on business for the Kingdom and they form an alliance as he has said he seems to be going in the same direction she is, and wants to keep her safe.
Prim is outgoing, positive, an open book and a ray of sunshine. While Kole is grumpy, doesn't like to show any emotions and keeps to himself. Yet their reluctant slow burn chemistry is so adorable.
The end of the story brings us some twists and turns and a small cliffhanger. I can't wait to see where the next book takes our characters.
Stone of Legends is the first book in the Fae of Legends and Lore series, a fae fantasy romance trilogy. This trilogy is set in the author’s Supernatural World but does not require the reading of any other series. I received an advance review copy and my thoughts are my own. Thank you to the author for my paperback ARC.
Tropes and themes include: ✨Slooooowwwwburn ✨Fated mates? Maybe? ✨He falls first ✨Grumpy x shunshine ✨Touch her and die ✨Forced proximity ✨Betrayal
Rating: 5/5 Stars 1/5 Flames
The Lovely: Excuse me while I pick my jaw up off the ground. That was a wild ride that I entirely got lost in and read in one night. FMC Prim is a clever, loyal ray of sunshine. The MMC is… broody at best. After secret I’m not sure what to even say other than wow.
Also Lovely: The world feels kind of like what we’ve seen in the prior series but a bit darker and mysterious. And the creatures of that wood are rather nightmare inducing.
Recommendation: I have a number of conflicting emotions after that ending - sadness and rage being the biggest. It’s not a life-or-death cliffy per se but it will leave you reeling. I’m glad book two is only a month away but at the same time, it will be a long month.
A Krista Street romantasy was definitely what I needed to spark my love of reading again & this book was exactly what I expected it to be. Being the first in the series, it started out at a good pace. Being introduced to all of the characters & the plot, nothing out of the ordinary.
The main character, Primelle, is definitely likeable, yet a little cookie cutter for an FMC in a fantasy book. I’m not mad about it though since I haven’t been reading, it was nice to get what I expected from her character. I would have to say the same for the MMC. Not much more to say about a guy with the last name Swordwielder, but I still liked him. Very morally black if you ask me.
The plot is straightforward which I enjoyed, but there were still a couple twists along the way to keep things interesting. I kind of did see it coming, but again, I knew that this book would be what I expected it to be. I’m super excited to see where the second book takes us after that ending. Hopefully there will be a few things in the rest of the series that takes me by surprise.
Well, after finishing this series opener, I’m completely gob smacked (I love English terms! LOL!)! Let’s back up though. This book starts a new series in this author’s previous series. I’d forgotten that, and I kept thinking I’d read about this world before. Duh. Anyway, we are introduced to Kole and Prim, one a warrior, one a niece trying to save her uncle. We are swept away on an adventure where Prim tries to outrun all her competitors for a Wishing Stone, and of course, danger follows. I just loved this book, and that ending…wow! I didn’t see that coming. Well-written, engaging, entertaining…and so many obstacles for the two main characters to overcome. I can’t wait to see what’s going to happen next. Highly recommend. I was provided a complimentary copy which I voluntarily reviewed.
I loved the slow burn and the quiet chemistry between Kole and Prim. I am absolutely intrigued with what it’s going to happen next, and the end for this book (even with the cliffhanger) it was very good ! As a hardcore Krista Street fan I will be super honest, the beginning of the book was tough for me. Idk why, I just felt detached from the story and the characters and I realize, to some extent it’s normal because I just met them for the first time. It was just hard for me and I was a little…..not bored but I wasn’t excited. But a little before the halfway mark, when the main characters were spending more time together and their interactions began I was sold. I love the rapid release style of Krista’s series because I don’t have to wait long to continue the story 🙌🏽

Favourite Quote: But Kole’s aura swelled even more, and in a low, lethal voice, the warrior replied, “She’s mine. You touch her, and you die.”
Stone of Legends is the first book in the ‘Fae of Legends & Lore’ series by Krista Street, and I am SO excited to be back in her bookish world.
Give me a touch her and ☠️ moment and I’m so immediately sat. Especially if the man is tall, brooding, and e x t r e m e l y grumpy.
It has honestly been so long since my last grumpy x sunshine book, and Primelle was such a breath of fresh air. She was cheerful, but her optimism didn’t hold her back from adventure and from fighting for those she loves.
I will mention, I am absolutely FURIOUS over that ending. Like I was sitting in shock at this book, not-so-quietly raging for our girl.
It is always such a joy to be back in the world that Krista Street has carefully curated, these books are always so well thought out, action packed, with juicy amounts of tension- and Stone of Legends was no exception.
I’d recommend this book to anyone looking for a fantasy series that flows well, has loveable characters, and an epic adventure.
Stone of Legends is the first book in Fae of Legends & Lore, a new fae fantasy romance series by Krista Street. This book takes place in Krista’s Supernatural World and can be read as a standalone series. I absolutely loved this book! Krista excels at fast paced and exciting storytelling, with strong and capable FMCs and broody and mysterious MMCs who will stop at nothing to protect their love interest. The world feels familiar yet the story and characters are unique. If you enjoy fated mates, forced proximity, grumpy x sunshine, and touch her and ☠️, then you should definitely read this book! The story ends on a cliffhanger and our FMC Prim learns a shocking discovery! I can’t wait to read what happens next in book 2! Stone of Legends is the perfect start to this new series!
This is the third series I’ve read by Krista Street. I absolutely devoured her two other Fae kingdom series, and this one is a great addition.
Full disclosure: I wasn’t sure about the first couple of pages. It seemed a little bit drawn out and repetitive. But the story picks up super quickly and is fast-paced through the remainder.
First-person, single POV from the FMC .5/5 🌶️ Steamy, no spice yet. It’s coming, though! No one writes yearning quite like Krista Street, and I can already tell this slow burn is going to really ignite in the next book.
There hasn’t been a book Krista Street has written that I haven’t devoured immediately. I don’t know what she sprinkles in her writing but I can never put the book down until it’s completely finished.
Never any spoilers… Loved book 1 - and it hurts knowing I have to wait a full month until the next installment because this ending was UGGGHH so good. As all of her books, I know it will be worth the wait. Highly recommend not only this book but any of her series.
Loved this book! Kept me engrossed the whole way through. Primelle has been brought up by her aunt and uncle since the death of her parents and when her uncle is struck down by a mysterious illness that is killing him, she goes in search of the legendary Wishing Stone that will grant her the wish of saving his life. Prim has hidden powers that she doesn't reveal and along the way encounters the Imperial Warrior Kole who helps her when she meets dangerous monsters and villains. There is heartbreak and betrayal too as well as a hidden romance. Looking forward to book 2
Absolutely excited new read. The world whole the same as the others in Krista's works, has once again gained a layer of depth that—to me— is phenomenal. The plight of the character feels real and sets a great pace and sense of urgency. They all feel real and not flat. Though I wish there was a little more .... I paced myself with reading this one, as I was waiting for the second to release. But I don't know if I can pace myself with book two in anticipation of book three .. ..
Wonderful book.i have read lots of other series set in this continent & all of them are 5*. Yet again this series tells a completely different story. No repeat with different names. Prim & Kole are my new favourite main characters & I can’t wait to read the next 2 books to learn who they really are & if they get a HEA. Fortunately not long to wait for book 2. If you love Fae Romance, a great story & characcters to die for buy this now. ✨🪄
Beautiful book as always, I love the magic, the romance, the hilarity, the adventure, and I especially love how amazing and bad ass the female lead was. However, there was some obvious things that she should have known about the male protagonist. I mean, there are so many suspicious actions that I can’t fathom how she didn’t understand what was truly happening. However, as always, there was some parts of the surprised twist that I was not expecting bravo!
Deeeeeefinitely a vibes read but vibes were good. Predictable but fast paced so it didn’t feel boring at any point. If you’ve already read her other books this kind of fits just like those with a betrayal at the end but she forgives him super fast… at least thats what I’m predicting. Anyway with how short these are I’ll very likely read the next one but I’m not exactly holding my breath
Krista has done it once again!! I loved her other two fae series and this one was just another 5 ⭐️ read! I'm so excited for the next book, im so invested in Prims story. I had a feeling the servant was trying to poison her from the beginning with that vial she gave her!! And Kole ugh!! It was love at first sight for me but turns out he's got secrets too!! I am counting down the days till book two releases
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
Krista Street delivers a genuinely engaging read with this book. The writing is clean and confident, making it easy to stay immersed from start to finish. The pacing holds well, and the author has a strong sense of storytelling that keeps things moving without feeling rushed. Overall, it’s a strong, enjoyable book that reflects a capable and thoughtful writer. If you’re looking for something well-written and easy to settle into, this is worth your time.
I love Kole and Prim! Excellent characters, and so many twists in this book, I loved all the surprises. Also, what was nice, I've read other series by this author, so it was nice seeing some similarities, while also, it going in a different direction at the same time in the same universe if I'm saying it right but can't wait to see what happens next!
I have read almost all of this author's books and Im never disappointed. The title of this series is spot on. I felt the lore and the legends and I cant wait to continue reading the next in this series to find out where it goes. 5 stars doesnt do it justice. Its a quick read, fast paced, plenty of magic, and romance with tension. Highly recommend!
Excellently written though. One major element was entirely predictable. Another definitely caught me by surprise. I can only say that I’m glad I waited for the entire trilogy to be released before I started reading it. Otherwise the cliffhanger would have upset me beyond words.
I loved this so much. Prim is such a delight and I love her energy. I also love Kole … I cannot wait to read what happens in the next instalment and I’ve got another month to wait! The suspension is going to kill me!
3.5 ⭐ quick and kinda fun simple read. curious about what will happen next but otherwise the story and characters seem very archetypal and a bit flat. enjoyed prims eternal sunshine pov though. also the god of the forest at the end was also interesting! very ya fantasy 😇
Im happy I have this book a chance. I really enjoyed the story line so far and looking forward to book 2! As always the writing is great, and I’m interested as to where the story will go to with Prim and Kole.
