The quest is over. The war is starting. The end is near... The Final Installment of the Fated Fantasy Adventure Series! "Before we can be brave, we must learn what it is to be afraid. Before we can appreciate unconditional love and unwavering loyalty, we must first understand what it is to be hated, exploited, and cast aside.

Jurekai Fazendiin has spent multiple lifetimes preparing for his new world. His opposition has spent as many preparing for the inevitable battle to stop him. But the Grosvenor has done his damage and staked his claim. And now it's time for our beloved heroes to do the same. The time for planning is over. The time for war is at hand. And the greatest test of all, begins now...
All the books in this series are fantastic. I read books 1 - 10 over about three month time period and was thrilled when book 11 came out. Great page turns with enough twists and turns to always be interesting by not overwhelming.
enjoyable for teens and adults alike! I hope some time in the near future that novellas come out of this main series.
Evil battles good in this 11th series book. The magical world helps to defeat Meghan and Colby's evil Father, but he manages to escape, but not all of his injuries. It becomes a showdown who finds Grace first, between Meghan and her father. This series was pretty good.
I was very hesitant to recommend this series until it was completed. So often series just lose steam or have a horrible ending. This one didn't. It wrapped everything up, admittedly with a largely saccharine bow, but after enduring the better part of a decade waiting for this series to be completed, these folk (readers and characters alike) deserved a fitting send off.
What I can say is this, without spoilers...I never could have imagined where the series would end up when it started, and that is about as high of praise as I can give. It has its weak points, and could use an edit/rewrite, but it is about as good a YA epic as has been written.
This sweeping complex series of 11 books is riveting, rollicking and ultimately very satisfying. Following the lives of 3 young children in particular whose identities and relationships (like so many others in this saga) are not what they initially appear to be, these page-turners are packed with Magic, Pathos, Teenage Angst, Humor, Anticipation, Conspiracy, War and Peace, Bucolic Love, Time Travel... everything but the kitchen sink! I picked up Book 1 on a Friday night and binge read all 11 by Tuesday morning! If you ever thought you were somehow “Special,” or ever wanted to “Save the World,” these books are for YOU. Totally engaging and completely believable, the emotional roller coaster keeps the reader invested in each intricate convoluted detail while orchestrating it’s ultimate message of Love, with a few lessons in Morality along the way. So many comparisons to Past, Present and Future situations are readily apparent. So snuggle up on a rainy day and embark on a new adventure... I can promise you a surprise around every corner and some serious Fun!
I really enjoyed this series overall. But it seemed like the last two books were more focused on Colby’s relationship than the overall plot. Started losing interest with the last book and by this book, I mostly just read it because I wanted to see how it ended.
