_________________________________When the scales are tipped to the point of breaking, a balance bringer is born—three sisters, one balancer at the core. This time, Ana, it’s your burden to bear. — Ryland (Maitias Cale) Norde Sorlonte Raine_________________________________Ana grew up believing her last name was Janssen. That was a lie. Her true last name is Raine.She grew up believing her father … That was a lie. Her true last name is Raine.
She grew up believing her father didn’t want to be a part of her life. That was also a lie. She is destined to be extraordinary.
And she grew up believing she was human and that the earthly realm was her home. That was likely the largest lie of all.
_________________________________
The secrets have been exposed. Ana knows who and what she is meant to be and meant to do. She has yet to decide if she will embrace her foretold destiny, but one point to which she remains steadfast is that she will fight until her dying breath for the safety of those she loves.
It is the salvation of Ana’s loved ones that has lead her to the world of Hiddenkel. Her intentions…save her sisters Crystia and Kaia. For them, she left behind her high school life and the only world she has ever known. And, due to unfortunate circumstances, she also ended up leaving her mother.
Ana thinks she understands the sacrifices required to become the Balance Bringer. And whether she wanted to or not, she has already paid a hefty price. But creation does not keep score nor play fair, and there is much Ana must learn, about herself and her awakening abilities.
But when the life of Ana’s best friend and brother ends up in jeopardy, goals and needs will be reevaluated, and priorities will shift. An intense sense of urgency pushes her to make her way toward the rescue and recovery of her sisters, yet an equally weighted need pushes her to secure the health of her brother.
Can Ana save them all, sisters and brother, while struggling with her physical changes of becoming the Balance Bringer and dealing with her internal conflict that is her attraction to her Tracer and the pull to the dream incubus that would make her his own?

Was a great read from beginning to end and was so hard to put down once I started this action packed journey. An edge of your seat, emotionally thrilling, heart racing adventure filled with magical and engaging charters, witty dialog, heart racing twists and dangerous turns. Great reading!
omg, what an amazing continuation of this series!! … love this world built by such a fabulous author! … cannot wait for more!!
All I can say is this series is fantastic! What a read! I started it and couldn’t put it down. Right from the start it keeps you turning the pages to see what is going to happen next. You meet new characters and go on an adventure that is intense. I still don’t know if Dohlan is good or bad. He is a very complex character. We also find out more about the three sisters and their duty to the world. Now it’s off to see the Mystic and find out more in the next book for Ana and her crew.
This book begins where the last one ended. It’s fast paced, action packed, and completely grabs you from page one. The world building is so well done! Such vivid descriptions with minimal words! You can smell the plant life, see the colors, and feel textures.
Ana and her guys continue the quest to be reunited with her sisters and balance the world. Along the way Ana has to make some tough choices. Can she save Ryland, the world, and her sisters? Dohlan returns. Exactly what role will he play in her life as the story unfolds?
Awakening is gripping, emotion invoking, and rich in detail. I love this series and I am looking forward to seeing where this journey takes me in the next book.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book, as I did the others before it.
Ana is confused about her attraction to both Jayden and Dohlan, but knows that she must make a choice. She finds out the truth about her sisters and although it is confusing, she comes to terms with it. In this book she goes through another transformation – meets someone important to her family – unlocks ancient memories within herself. She is now ready for the part of her journey.
Ana’s journey continues, there are many secrets to learn, and she will have lots of challenges ahead. Can she bring balance? Or will Dreya prove to be too much? I enjoyed Ana’s tale, the fantastic world of Hiddenkel and the creatures living in it, and all the complications that come with who she is, and I look forward to finding out what happens next.
I am voluntarily reviewing a copy I received, and giving my thoughts and opinions on it.
Wow, this book will keep you captivated, so follow along with the suspense, mystery, adventure, and finding herself. Ana is starting to become the balance bringer. But with each transformation there is a lot of pain and truths. So follow along while she finds herself. What she feels for Dolan, Jaden and what truths she find on her sisters. See the mystery’s she uncovers. The hate she sees in her Aunt and what her aunt is doing to the land. Hope is always on the horizon.
Ana and her crew are back in the second installment of the series. Ana collapsed at the lake and now is waking up to discover she has the ability of the water element. One of her eyes is blue now as well. They set out to find her two sisters. Along the journey, Dreya makes herself known once again and they engage in battle. Ryland takes a blow from a sword that could kill him. As they travel, Dohlan stays close at hand with Ana. He gives her a gold ring to help tie them together. Her and Jaden are still having many issues to realize the full awakening of their bond. Ana is still incomplete and still confused. They run across a village with people who live in the trees. One has taken an especially uncanny interest in Ana, it is Garr. He is from her past as another Balance Bringer. Many bad things transpire while in this village. But, they forge onward with their quest of seeking out the mystic and her sisters. Ana will undergo another truly painful and horrendous change. More secrets are divulged as she changes and they are astonishing! Jaden has been cursed with something from a past life they need to purge. Ry has a secret that is revealed as he continues to struggle for his life. More powers awaken and memoires in Ana. Jaden gives Ana a choice to make. Ana will make a very hard decision that will probably cost her in the long run. She is now Awakened and ready to take the next steps…to be continued! I received this book as an ARC and am voluntarily leaving a review.
