Finding your soulmate can be deadly…

Emma

I never believed magic was real– until I used it to kill a werewolf.

Not long after, a letter arrived from a supernatural school for fae, claiming I was a sorceress. I’m forced into a world where dragons breathe fire, griffins fly, alicorns battle and wolves hunt monsters. At this academy, sorceresses are bound to alpha shifter mates, and pagan rituals are used to connect with the gods.

I know my mate is somewhere within the school… along with those who want my blood. A cult of dark magic is following my every move, and I have to master my powers before they come for me…

Ethan

I never meant to kill my own father.

What happened led to the loss of my leg, and my reputation as heir to the throne. I found a way to pay for my sins by playing the role of Prince Ethan during the day, and a vigilante hunting cultists by night. Keeping my secret identity hidden has been far more difficult than I imagined.

But now my kingdom is at stake. A new leader will be chosen through the King’s Contest, a fatal competition where contestants battle for power and, more often than not, die in the process. Without a mate, I cannot compete for the crown.

I formed an unbreakable bond with Emma upon first sight. But I have to keep my love a secret. Emma can’t know she’s my true mate; otherwise, she’ll be in more danger than ever before.

But the King’s Contest is rapidly approaching, and if I don’t choose a mate soon, the fate of my country will fall into the wrong hands…

My Review:

Emma believed she was human until a letter from a supernatural school arrived at her door. Emma soon learns that she is fae and that she is not the only creature in the universe with magic. Not only are there fae but there are werewolves, dragons, griffins and alicorns.

Before Emma found out she was fae with magic she was walking in the forest one night when she came upon a werewolf and she used magic to kill it. Emma had no idea what was going on or what she had done. But it wasn’t long after that she received her letter to attend the academy.

At the academy students compete in contest to see who will become king and queen. But before they can even enter the contest they must first find their soulmate and be bonded.

Emma doesn’t believe she will ever find her soulmate. She probably doesn’t even think she has one. She has never had any friends always being a loner. Until she meets the Phantom, a vigilantly that only comes out at night to save people and hopefully make the magical world a better place. Emma must find the true identity of the Phantom if she is to have a mate. But how was she ever going to do that?

The Wolven Mark is a great introduction into a brand new world of the University of Sorcery that is from the Hidden Legends world. Once I picked up The Wolven Mark I didn’t want to lay it down for a minute I just wanted to keep on reading. The world building was so immense and I loved all the characters especially Emma and Ethan. I love them together as a couple too.

From the first page The Wolven Mark amped up the excitement which kept the pages rolling. The contest was so intense. There were some very close calls for Emma and Ethan. There were times I didn’t know if they were going to make through. I can’t wait for the next book as that ending was a big twist that I didn’t see coming. Oh my.

I love this world so yes I highly recommend it all fans of wizardry, magic and magical creatures.
