The First Three Books of the Top 100 Bestselling Series!ChosenRunner up in the SpaSpa Book Awards 2014 for Action and Adventure!It is said that when war threatens the world, one individual will be selected by prophecy to lead the Shadow Warriors out of the Land of Mist and reclaim the freedom which has been stolen.Shanti has grown up under the constant threat of war. Since she helped her people … threat of war. Since she helped her people defeat a raiding party by using a special power, she’s been a hunted woman. Carrying rare abilities and an uncanny fighting aptitude, Shanti is the only hope of salvation for her people. The problem is, she doesn’t believe in her own divinity, and when she flounders, she nearly fails in the duty hanging so heavy on her shoulders.
It seems like any other day when Sanders and his band of misfit boys find a foreign woman clinging to life in the wastelands. Oblivious to the weapon they now have in their possession, they are content to harbor the mysterious woman until she is well enough to continue her journey.
But when the war spreads its arms and lands on her borrowed doorstep, Shanti has no choice but to reveal her secrets, plunging her saviors into danger. If they band with her, they will face certain death. But to trade her to Xandre, the warlord desperate to add her to his war machine, would be to give up their entire way of life.

‘Chosen’ book one.
Shanti is the last chance for her people, she must travel to her lost relations and get help. With the Shadow People she should be able to get revenge against the Being Supreme. But first she must survive the barren lands, find shelter and food.
Another great book by Ms Breene, very engaging, action packed, and fast paced. Once again this author shows that you can have a strong, independent, kicka** heroine without a love interest to have a successful story.
I was unsure of what to expect going into this series, all I knew was it had a bada** heroine, a determined hero, and fighting against odds storyline. But just knowing that I was intrigued and excited to read it. And I’ll tell you this… I am hooked and I loved each and every moment.
‘Hunted’ book two.
With rumours of a man with similar features to Shanti known as “The Ghost”, she follows the leads to a camp where she hopes her lost “chance” and adopted brother Rohnan might be. Rohnan is not the only prisoner she rescues, now a superior officer know as “The Hunter” is after them. They are going to need help to escape him and only one man comes to mind, but will he forgive Shanti for leaving him in the middle of the night.
I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. So far this series has been fantastic. Fast paced, action-packed, full of mystery, angst and humour. I love how Ms Breene is able to bring such vivid worlds to life with engaging characters. I also enjoyed that even though the characters were in dire situations there was still witty banter between them.
Shanti has been a character full of mystery ever since she was discovered and rescued by Sanders and her Honor Guard. She has been a little shut off and isolated, though she has helped out and opened up a little to the Westland people she still kept very much to herself. But after seeing they way she acts around Rohnan you get to see a very different side to her. She is still the strong, fearless “chosen” warrior but there is a more likeable and softer side.
Getting to see more of Cayan and Sanders was excellent, these men are still just as mysterious and intriguing to get to know. They both put on such strong fronts but they are both big Teddys.
I am loving this series and can not wait to see how things turn out for these characters.
“Shadow Lands” book three
With the “Chosen” trials looming ahead, Shanti must make it through the trials in order to come out with the Shadow People’s help in defeating the Supreme Being, Graygual and Inkan.
OMG!!! I have no idea where to start or what to say for this review. If you though the first two books bl*w you mind you are in for one heck of a read with this one. So strap in and get ready for one seriously addictive, fast paced, action packed, heart racing, nail biting ride of your life.
New faces, new troubles, new relationships, new dangers, but same old enemies.
Things are seriously heating up between Shanti and Cayan and the War.
I honestly don’t know what to write in this, there are so many moments that I feel deserve mentioning but i would be doing you some injustice. So all I can do is recommend that if you haven’t already is that you read this series, like right NOW! I promise you will not be disappointed, especially if you like reading about independent, strong willed, witty bada** females and sexy, kicka** alpha males.
Great action writing.
