The throne is my fate… and I can’t escape.

I’m Izora Dawn and I’m finally free from the prisons I was stuck in. Except for a tiny problem: The Enchanted Forest is at war, the Shadowborn Academy is nearly destroyed and I have to stop the titans before they destroy the world and take the last of my family with them.

Turns out the outside world is far more dangerous than any prison could be.

With my mates at my side, I will find the Titan keys and end their destruction for good. I can't fail, my sisters need me and so do the light fae... or what is left of them.

And royal fae never give up.

Shadowborn Royals is a crossover spin-off to Shadowborn Academy. You do not need to read the latter to follow this series. One thing is for sure—not even the shadows can be trusted in this Enchanted Forest…
18+ Reverse Harem Dark Fae Prison Romance.

She is the rightful Queen of Helios. She might of been born in secret and had her true identity hidden but now the truth is out.

Queen Narah ruler of the dark fae court and Princess Eva of the light fae court, joined forces and let the Titans loose.

Now it rests upon Izoras shoulders to find a way to send them back.

Can she do it before the Titans destroy everything....

Theres never a dull moment in Izoras life that's for sure, and once again there's madness, mayhem and moments of reflection as the story continues.

This is the third book in the dark fae paranormal prison series and concludes the trilogy.

I enjoyed the storyline but part of me felt like it was rushed. Events that could of been so rich in detail and chapters long were short and punchy, leaving me dissapointed in places.

The story is enriched by the appearance of much loved characters from the dark fae academy trilogy.

Izora is the main character of this series as it follows her. I found her to be very interesting, resilient and down to earth.

The four men that are in her life, each shine in a different way but Gold is definetly the star of this book, as for why I can't say, but upon reading I'm sure you will agree.

All in all an entertaining read, that ties up all the loose ends of the series.

Adult: Yes
Featuring: Reverse Harem, Dragon, Fae
Cover: 5
Characters: 5
Suspense: 4.5
Romance: 4
Heat: 3
Fast paced: Yes
Cliffhanger: No
Epilogue: Yes (Amazing)
Total: 4 stars

The conclusion to this series. This is the spin-off series from Shadowborn Academy and it is just as amazing!  The end to Izora & her guy's story. Corvina & Izora were thrust into a world they knew nothing about & against all odds became the Queens to unite both worlds. The epilogue was also a neat treat for those of us who have been following this story to its conclusion. A peek sneak in the life after 10 year.

I loved it!

Warning: Intended for 18+ readers due to mature themes.

It was so enticing that I couldn’t put it down, this book grabbed my interest from the very first page. I couldn’t put it down, I had to know what happened next. The story is well written with a very good storyline. This book is Book 5 of 6 of the Fae Academy series. This is Dark Reverse Harem Paranormal Fae Romance. Shadowborn Prison is a crossover spin-off to Shadowborn Academy. You do not need to read the latter to follow this series. One is for sure, not even the shadows can be trusted in this Enchanted Forest. The throne is her fate, and she can’t escape. Her name is Izora Dawn and she’s finally free from the prisons that she was stuck in, except for a tiny problem, the Enchanted Forest is at war, the Shadowborn Academy is nearly destroyed and she has to stop the titans before they destroy the world and take the last of her family with them. Turns out the outside world is far more dangerous than any prison could be. With her mates at her side, she will find the Titan keys and end their destruction for good. She can't fail, for her sisters need her, and so do the light fae, or what is left of them. So with all that and more this story pulls you in and holds you tight. It’s a must read. I highly recommend to everyone.

As always an amazing book from Scarlett and Gem, it’s hard to imagine it’s written by two authors because it’s so seamless! Such a great storyline and loved crossovers and characters and how it all intertwined and connected and tied up some thoughts from Corvinas series. I loved that this story came after Corvinas ending book but was set in the lead up to the battle, as knowing how it ends in C’s trilogy and being able to find out Izoras path towards the battle and where they came together to end it and unite was awesome! 🖤
I loved that we got to see Izora tackle all the different locations of the keys, and interact with the residents within these locations - male centaurs, f*ck you- you’ll know when you read! And special shoutout to the wisps, rarely see them in books🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿. The epilogue was such a lovely addition, which leads right into drama and intrigue for the new series to come out and finally allow a certain darkness to be dealt with! 🤍

AHHH! Here we are at the end of Izora's trilogy! This was such a bittersweet read! I loved it but I'm so sad to be at the end of their story! I fell so in love with this series, I started with the Shadowborn Academy, which I highly recommend, and I've been a goner ever since! Bailey and Snow are phenomenal together! They truly create magic and with every book, you just fall more under their spell! This supernatural world is unlike any other, It's so alluring, it's Hogwarts meets greek mythology full of darkness with a whole lot of Sexy! When I'm reading I get so lost in this world, the words come to life in my head so easily. Izora has been through so much, her journey was full of trials and hardships but seeing her grow to the Queen she becomes was just the best! I knew what was coming from reading the Shadowborn Academy but Izora's journey was so worth it and whew, was it HOTTT!! The epilogue excites me because I hope it means we will maybe be getting another book from this world. I'm going to have one heck of a book hangover now!

Izoras story was done wrong. I'm thinking even the authors struggled sometimes like they didn't know quite the direction they wanted to go. She definitely deserved her own story but a whole series written like this? No. Her series was a lot of repeating the happenings of Corvina's book. Some stuff was Iz's alone but very little. I get it because they are 2 Queens light and dark plus sisters. I just think that actually having the story repeated was the mistake instead of just TELLING us Izoras story. Then having it come together at the end tying up both series. Would have been much better. This wasn't my favorite from this author. Just not as well put together as her newer books. This wasn't bad but there's too much smudging if that makes sense. I was bored last book and it got worse. I stopped caring about the story tbh. I skimmed a lot because I knew what would happen.... this is why you don't do layouts where we already know everything and your retelling from another perspective.

If i could give this book more than 5 stars i definitely would. You cant have asked for a better ending than this one really. Izora (FMC) comes into her own more in this last book in this series. With the help of her guys Gold, Luke, Axel and Scott she tries to fulfill her destiny. Not an easy task. Loved that a few characters pop up from the Shadowborn Academy series. It shocked me but i really liked Izora's sister Willow character turnabout. Just a little criticism where was Memphis? I missed him and i would have like him to pop up a bit in this book but other than that it was hell of an ending. Saying that with that ending could there be something more from the Shadowborn Universe? God i hope so because this series was really flaming good

Great ending!

After Izora was brought to the Light Fae Palace and saw her biological father being murdered, she is determined to escape the clutches of Eva with her mates and find the keys to send the Titans back to where they belong to save the whole kingdom.

Izora's journey ro find the keys reminded me of Corvina's. It wasn't much different and I was kind of disappointed about that but I still enjoyed reading Izora's story. Also, it seems that Memphis was kind of forgotten somehow. What happened to him? Is he still alive?

I remember Shadowborn Academy #3 ending with the authors' note, mentioning another trilogy in the Shadowborn world (with Dragons) so I definitely cannot wait to have more information about it!

Shadowborn Queen

This is the final book of this series and it was sooo good! Izora Dawn has gone through so much to get to this stage of her life.

Just as she thinks things will slow down, she has a dream that guides her to information that the Titans of legend have been released into the world again, and Izora must find and collect the 4 keys that open a portal and send them back to their prison.

Izora must gain allies, go into battle and still prepare her men and her new allies for a war that she can no longer put off.

Join Izora and her men as she continues her bumpy journey to the throne. You will be so happy that you did.

***I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.***

This is the spin-off series from Shadowborn Academy and it is just as amazing! You do not need to read the Shadowborn Academy series to follow along as it is completely different. G Bailey and Scarlet Snow are amazing together and kept me turning the page at every chance.

This book is action-packed and keeps you wanting more. Izy and her men are now in another prison and man the twists and turns keep coming throughout this book!

This was a great ending to a really good series! If you have not started this series or the Shadowborn Academy series, I suggest you go grab your copy!

Amazing ending to a great series!

I love how the authors ended this series, but it did leave me wanting more from this universe. I was hoping they would do a spin-off about Kaelah and the Titans or about the dragons. After reading about it on G. Bailey’s reader’s group, they do plan on writing a series about the dragons, which is awesome! I can’t wait to read it! I feel like they tied up everything in the series nicely, except for Memphis, he’s not mentioned again. I feel like it was probably just a small oversight, which is understandable, with all the characters they have created with this universe. I can’t wait to read more from these authors in the future!

This is the final book in Izora's story and boy was there loads of action, heat and adventure. Looking for the Titan keys proves to push Izora to come into herself and fight for what she loves and what she hopes for the future. Her men are perfect in supporting her and loving her for who she is. I loved the crossovers with Corina's story arc and how everything came together, giving us the entire picture! I can't wait for more from these authors and trust me, their storytelling is pure genius! Loved every second!

Another great ending

Can I just say that I flove these cowrites with G. Bailey and Scarlett?!? This world they've built is so great to get lost in...this brings an end to Izora's story and I just hate saying goodbye. Izzy and her guys are such great characters and to see how her story intertwined wkth Corvina's but was so totally different made it all that much more fun to read. We now know how the Titans were defeated and it wrapped up the other question marks in the story. We also now know the stories behind the 2 queens. All in all an awesome ending!

I received this free eARC novel from the author. This is my honest review.

I've been waiting for this last book in the series and it did not disappoint! If course I knew the ending from the previous series ending, but it was great to see it through Izora's point of view and the things she had to conquer on her side of the story.

I loved how this book was really focused on family and the connection only sisters can have, between Willow and Corvina.

I'm so glad I got a chance to read this series and I'm looking forward to more by this author in the future!

Well put together

I enjoyed ask of the characters and the chemistry in the relationship(s). The first book, started out great, but I must admit the relationships are almost immediate. However, it did move the story along. The series moves along at a great pace and there is no lagging. You do not have to read the Zoyra series first, but I think it would provide the background needed. I liked the world the author built and I am happy there are other series overlapping this one.

Better Editing Needed

Okay so it’s a great story but there are spelling/grammatical errors and while the overarching plot is good and the world building is acceptable (though many things aren’t explained and are just left to you for speculation), there are plot threads that just poof before their conclusion. The guys are kicked into a portal by a titan and she’s supposed to find them, yet next thing you know they’re in a cabin with her a page later, not a thing mentioned about her finding them. Has the potential to be pretty damn good it just needs better editing.

Book 3 in this amazing series. I was hooked from the moment that I started reading and could not put it down till I finished the last page. It moved along at a nice comfortable reading speed. You cannot help but fall in love with these characters and you want to be there with them. the story grabs you and keep you interested right up till the very end. This book needs to be read, no doubt about it.

This was a good ending to an interesting series. I have really enjoyed the Shadowborn world and am sad to see it come to an end. Izora is a great character who has grown into the queen she was destined to be. I love that her story and Corvina's have finally crossed over and it was nice to see the characters from that series for a brief moment. I am sad to see this series end, but can't wait to see what these authors come up with next.

Brilliantly Done
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

A perfect ending to an amazing series.I’m sad to say goodbye to these characters that I absolutely fell in love with.Izora’s story drew me in from the beginning and her and her guys took me on an adventure.Through the heartache,grief,anger, and darkness, these characters come out stronger.They fight for their kingdoms,their people,and each other.

Would love to see the Dragons and Centaur’s get their own spin-offs.

Sad to see it end

I thoroughly enjoyed reading Izora’s adventure to become the Queen of Helios. I loved the fact that these 2 authors created this series to occur simultaneously as Corvina’s story with the series ending with the 2 plots converging together. That was a rather crafty way of writing the 2 series within this world.

I am eager to see if any spin offs will come later with a few appearances from some of the characters from Corvina and Izora’s books.

What a ride!! I loved all the action and heartache in Izora’s final book. Shadowborn Queen neatly wraps up Izora’s journey to her rightful throne. As I am a fan of Shadowborn Academy, I was glad to read other familiar characters popping in throughout the story. I hope the authors will continue to write the adventures of Izora and Corvina. The epilogue was also a neat treat for those of us who have been following this story to its conclusion.

Wonderful world

Is this the ending for this world? It didn't seem so at the very end. Izora's story was darker than Corvina's but both stories were full of adventure and the two sisters complement each other well. Each one has gorgeous and amazing mates too. Though I do find it a little strange that Izora's mate, Gold is Corvina's mate's dad. Still I really enjoyed this world.

I so loved this series. This was a favorite of mine. I really really hope maybe in future this series will continue. Maybe please oh please. Loved the storyline. Izora Dawn is my favorite character. Besides the guys of course. This is book 3 so definitely read in order. Highly recommend. These two authors alone are amazing. Together they are phenomenal.

Another ending

Another ending for this world, I'm sad to see them all go, but this was the perfect ending for Izora and her men, Gold will always have a special place in my heart and with that ending hopefully we will see them again in another book.

Great series and if you haven't read them all yet you're lucky to get to read them all at once!

Omg Izzy story is finished no more Oz. I loved being able to see the events that lead up to the big battle scene though. Also seeing the other half of the fight was awesome. As always there's still shadows look like the Dragons might be next.

The final book for Izora and her guys. Everything makes so much sense now that I'm reading Izora's side of the story 2nd to Corvina's. I was wondering what ever happen to Memphis?? Izora goes on looking for the Titan Keys and learns some of the hidden truths about her people she will one day rule. This book does not disappoint, and I love all the guys have a special connection with her as well.
