I might be a fae princess, but my story is no fairytale.
Being told that I'm not exactly human wasn't easy to accept. Neither was spending the last year training for what was to come on my nineteenth birthday, but I did it anyway. Feeling certain I'm ready for my new life, I soon realize nothing could have prepared me for the reality of it.
Turns out I'm the first descendant in decades to be born from two royal fae lines, but being special isn't always a good thing. All that training I did? Not so helpful when I find out a dark fae is looking to settle an old score—with me as his target.
Enter Ryland, an elusive guardian meant to help prepare me for the inevitable threats headed my way. The only problem? He's impossible, and I can't seem to stop butting heads with him. Even when other forces try to push us together.
Though, regardless of the obstacles, I have to accept the changes in my life and learn how to roll with the punches. Because if I don't? Well, it could mean the end of the little utopia I've found in my new home.
But becoming the hero Arvayta needs me to be isn't as easy as it sounds.

Good characters, good action, ok world building, magic, good and evil, friendships, and romance. The ending was cute and I liked that it did not end abruptly.
This boxed set is one entertaining and beautifully written collection! I quickly became captivated and couldn't set this aside. I absolutely fell in love with Kali and her team! Stryx was memorable and I loved his grouchy attitude. The magical atmosphere and spectacular storytelling makes this one of the best fae series you ever read! This is rich in world history. The romance will both crush and put you back together again. Ryland is one book boyfriend that you'll want to wrap up in a warm hug. This has my heart! Heather Renee is brilliant and imaginative! Pick this beauty up!
Kaliah and Ryland didn't know each other yet. She was taken to earth for protection and he stayed. Jordan was one of his best friends, along with Oliver. But she had to for on earth and be born as fae to become the princess she was. But a dark entity wanted her as his own. They would have to gather forced to defeat him and Kaliah could be good or dark depending on her choices.
It's an interesting story full of life, death and nasty evil creatures. But it's a good story.
This is my second series read by this author The characters are written very well and I love that there’s no unease with the ending. They allow us to know what happens to the characters and their lives and that’s amazing. Sometimes you read over 1000 pages and the character development is on point and you want more but the book says The End and you’re like whoa wait what happened. Will not happen with this Author and I so appreciate it. Amazing story telling!!!!!!
Ok all I had the pleasure of reading these individually, now u can buy these set and enjoy all at once, no waiting!! I adore Dylan's and all his Alpha male, grouchiness and Kali, and their progression is so awesome to watch. Jordan and Oliver are great side kicks and additions to this journey! If you love growly, sexy Fae Males and Kick butt FMC then is definitely for you!! Step right up and one click this bad boy!!
This series is amazing!!!! I loooove the characters and the story is epic! It’s filled with twists and turns and will keep you on the edge of your seat! It’s a definite must read!
This book is everything you want in a story! There’s love, fighting, twist & turns. It will keep you on your toes while holding you tight!! Perfect ending!!!
A fun read that will keep you guessing to the end. Dark vs light; good vs evil! A fabulous cast of characters, descriptions you can see, and emotions you can feel. A well written fantasy story.
I think this may have been written for a younger target audience. I didn’t finish, but I didn’t want to give a terrible review because tweens/teens may enjoy the writing style.
This was an interesting series filled with delightful characters as well as some nasty ones. Good story line which kept me interested through the whole series.
A highly emotional, yet action-packed slow burn fantasy romance that kept me on the edge of my seat and captivated with the storyline. It's packed with twists and impossible choices.
The first book in the series was a quick but amazing read. The world-building as always is absolutely amazing. While Jordan's own book isn't as detailed as Kali's it is an important part of the storytelling. This is where we first not only meet Jordan, as well as her two best friends Ryland & Oliver but we also get introduced to Kali at the very end of the story. I absolutely loved Kasi Holliwell did an amazing job as she always does helping give Heather's characters their own voice.
Kali's story is told by narrator Vanessa Moyen who embodies her characterization amazingly well. For most of her 18 years on earth, Kali thought that she was just a normal girl until she's introduced through her dreams to her bonded animal, a talking owl named Stryx who tells her that she's an honest to goodness real-life faerie princess of a world named Arvayta, also that she's going to die on her 19th birthday.
Once Kali returns to Arvayta with her parents, her best friend & guardian Jordan she meets her other half Ryland, who is her perfect match in every way. Kali is special not only because she is the first faerie princess in years but she is also destined to either be one of the most powerful Arvatayan's in history, but the question is will she embrace Rylan & the light, or will she let the dark fae Alaryk who is convinced that with her help he can rule the realms with darkness and power sway her from the light?
The final installment in the Royal Fae Guardians series is just as action-packed as the first two. We find Kali & her friends dealing with the losses that they faced when Alaryk unexpectedly invited himself to Ryland & Kali's commitment ceremony. While Arvayta is struggling after the battle Stryx has brought the other animals through the portal to help the guardians who are going after Alaryk to end his terror once and for all. Battling the darkness within her is getting harder & harder will Kali be successful or will she succumb to the numbness & release of the pain that the darkness offers.
In this book & the last, we get a few glimpses of who Ryland is as a guardian & a mate with different chapters in his point of view. Adam Gold brings Ryland to life with his amazing voice work. The exciting conclusion had me ugly crying like all of Heather's other books do.
