Caleb's Story

by Elizabeth Mowery

Adeline Bigsby and Caleb Wilder barely made it out of the Dark Territory alive.
Hidden within the safety of the cabin, the danger may be out of sight—but the weight of everything they’ve endured still lingers. As Adeline wrestles with loss and guilt, Caleb finally begins to unravel the past he’s kept buried for years.

He holds nothing back.

Adeline is drawn into a life shaped by survival, deception, and heartache. Moving between Black Mountain and the hidden realm, she pieces together the moments that made Caleb who he is.

There, she uncovers the darker truth about Ralock’s land and the price Caleb paid to survive it.

And once she knows, nothing will ever be the same.

Cableb's Story kept me engaged from the beginning to the end. The blend of action with the gradual revelation of answers about the characters made the story especially interesting. Each chapter added another layer, keeping me invested in the journey. It's an intriguing addition to the series that leaves you eager to read the next book to see what happens. Highly recommended!!

Caleb's storyline draws you in from chapter 1 and keeps you on the ends of your seat until the end. I love how the author weaved in elements from the previous book and leaves us hanging in suspense for book 4 to be published. So good!

Elizabeth Mowery tells a story that has you spellbound from the start. Caleb’s story makes you not want to put the book down, wanting to know what the next chapter tells you. Can’t wait for Book 4!!

Caleb's story added a new depth to the series, and Elizabeth Mowery did a great job revealing pieces of his past. I enjoyed seeing his story unfold and learning more about the events that shaped him. The emotions, struggle, and revelations throughout the book made it a compelling read. The story flowed well, kept me engaged, and left me excited to see where the next book takes these characters. Looking forward to Book 4!!

Caleb's Story is a continuation of Addie's story in book two where she and Caleb have met and clashed. I think it gives an important backstory to someone that is similar to Adeline but has encountered the world differently and experienced greater pain. Caleb lives in Ralock's realm and his story shows just how terrible it is.

Good read and great ending.

This book in the series was my favorite to date! After the ending of book two, I had to know what happened next. This book continues the suspense and adventure and makes me excited for book 4.

[Gerdien Waugh]

A pageturner just like the first two books. Very well written.

Its an easy read with a lot of depth.

Im looking forward to the next one and see how the story will develop.

“Every wound he’d endured in the Dark Territory came rushing back. The loneliness. The pain. Being left behind.”

This is by far, my favorite book in the series. I loved the imagery and the tone of the book. The writing is great and the story itself kept me super engaged. I finished the book in 3 days (and I’m a slow reader). This book was worth the wait. Can’t wait to see what the next book will be about. Outside world ? New adventures in the realm? Something new ? Honestly cannot wait! Great job with this book!

An excellent ending to book #3!! I'm not entirely convinced I can wait another year or so for the next book in the series, but I will do my best :)
