Kirkus Style Review

LORD OF THE FADING LANDS
By C. L. Wilson

Tairen Soul Book 1


Simple woodcarver’s daughter, Ellie, discovers she is anything but ordinary when Rain Tairen Soul, leader of the Fey claims her as his truemate. He’s tortured by his past, haunted by the madness caused by his first wife’s death and only Ellie can help him save the world and discover a love that’s worth fighting for.

Rain has spent a thousand years behind the border of the Fading lands, since the death of his wife when he literally “scorched the world.” Madness is creeping up on him but when it is determined that the way to save his people and the legendary Tairen, beasts of immense power, Rain will be forced to journey to a neighboring kingdom with his friends and family. He meets Ellie when he feels her pain and comes to her aid. The first of the kings of the Fey to find a truemate, he finds that he must put aside his anger and distrust in order to win Ellie’s love. Behind her shy exterior lies a strength and courage that will have her standing toe to toe with her fearsome truemate. As Rain struggles to open his heart, Ellie must navigate being thrust into the spotlight with foreign courting customs, jealous queens, and an old enemy who’s determined to destroy Rain and all he holds dear. As Rain comes to love his feisty truemate, Ellie must come to terms with what she’d always known and accept the magic that resides inside her. For only if she and Rain fight together, can they save the world…and each other. The first book in C. L. Wilson’s Tairen Soul Series is an epic fantasy romance that will have the readers fully immersed in the masterful worldbuilding. Told from the POV of Ellie and Rain, this is a powerful story of love that is both action-packed and emotionally charged that had me unable to put it down.
