Eternal Havok Duet, 1
What would you be willing to offer up to save your people? If you could stop a war that has raged for centuries, would you do it? At any cost?
The Oracle has spoken. To fulfill an age-old prophecy, Niko must travel to another realm and find a very special witch. Finding her is easy, now he has to convince her to join him.
Can they find a way to end the war and live side by side when secrets are kept and truths are held close at heart?
Excerpt:
It seems insane, even to me, but I cannot see myself with anyone but her. In the past twenty-four hours, I have felt more emotion with this woman than I have in the past hundred years. She brings it out in me. Making me feel and want. Longing for things I never knew I wanted. And arousal. Dear God, the lust this curvy little witch inspires in me is something that would scare her if she knew what I was thinking.
I may not believe in love at first sight, but I fully believe in lust at first touch, especially after touching her hand. Sitting beside her on the bed, I cup her face in my hands staring deeply into her eyes. Slowly I lower my head, giving her a chance to pull away before I whisper my lips over hers. When she doesn’t stop me, I press my lips to hers more fully.
I wasn’t expecting the raging inferno that swept through my veins chasing all sanity from my mind. Slipping my hands into her hair I draw her closer, our lips fusing, her hands gripping at my shirt.
Pulling away after we’re both breathless from our kissing, I stare down at her. The beautiful pink blush on her cheeks, her chest heaving as she tries to catch her breath, her pebbled nipples pressing at the front of her sundress.
“Damn,” she whispers with a smile.
“Yeah,” I reply, kissing her lightly. “I wasn’t expecting that either.”
A giggle escapes her, and I instantly fall in love with the sound. I swear to myself at that moment I will do everything in my power to ensure she does it as often as possible.
“Do you really believe we can lead your realm and my coven? That we can have it all?” Cassandra asks softly drawing my attention back to the moment.
This book was better than I thought, Although I expected more banter and spice between the main characters. But I'm glad the author didn't do it because His Queen was a great introduction to what's to come. the way this book ends on a cliffhanger with so many unanswered questions. I can not wait to see her powers grow and the cures of the fae dying after 750 years will be a thing of the past.
Niko and Cassandra. They both have to find their other half in order to ascend to their rightful place. There's an oracles prediction. There are so many obstacles to overcome so many lies told and revealed. And we're not done yet there's still more to come in the next book. What an entertaining and exciting read cant wait for the next part.
With his father’s time almost up as his people only live to be a certain age, High Ruler, Merrick, Niko is about to take his place. However, in order to do that, he must take a consort- have a Queen. Niko’s disgust with the women who would be that was hilarious. He wanted an equal. There is a lot of sadness in the book and some things brought tears. However, there were a lot of stuff that was funny as well. I was upset about some of the things with the Coven. There is a prophecy that the last true descendant of the OG Salem Witches would end the problems with the Quietus (demons, etc.), with the fighting known as the Eternal Havok. In order to protect Runic, Niko’s realm. He must find his Consort by his 25th birthday, which is soon. I found the entire background to be fascinating. Cassandra, is the daughter of the High Priestess of the Coven in Bantry Bay. She is to be the next one and she has to find her Consort. There are a lot of reveals, some that freaked me out. But I loved Cassandra and Niko. There are so many lies that were told. I had a lot of fun reading the book and was just entranced by the story and can’t wait to see what happens next.
I am convinced that anything that comes from this publishing company is amazing. Jade did not disappoint me at all. From start to finish, this book had me hooked. I can not wait for book two to come out.
I enjoyed this quick read and cannot wait to read the conclusion of the story in book 2. I love the world that Jade has created for the various human and magik inhabitants. Cassandra's mother is the leader of their coven and preparing Cassandra to take over. Niko is also preparing to take over leadership from his father in their realm. In order for Niko to fully assume leadership he needs to have a consort. Listening to the Oracle he learns about Cassandra and that she can help end the Eternal Havok (ongoing war) between the realms and defeat the evil Quietus. I liked the twists and turns of this story and hope the second book in this duet comes out soon.
I've read a lot of books written by Jade Marshall; she is one of my favorite authors. I can’t wait to read more of her books. This is the first book in the Eternal Havoc Duet; it is the first book in a new series. The story continues in the next book and needs to be read in order.
A wonderful fast paced read. I was hooked from the start. The characters Niko and Cassandra are exciting I enjoyed reading their story
I'm usually not one for fantasy books, but this romantasy had me from the start. Niko is the soon-to-be high ruler of Runic (he'll ascend to the throne up on his father's death). In order to defend his realm, he'll need to fulfill a prophecy set forth by the Oracle. This is where Cassandra comes in- she is a poweful witch in Alluvium (think sci-fi Earth). Will she help Niko save Runic? Will she want to, once she learns what her date will be? This ends on a light cliffhanger and I can't wait for the next book in the series.
His Queen was an exciting and page-turning book. This is the first book in the Eternal Havok Duet and i loved every chapter until the HFN ending. I enjoy Jade Marshall’s writing style, she creates wonderfully vivid worlds and complex characters. The storyline is exciting, original and page-turning. I was hooked from the first chapter. This book was filled with drama, suspense, mystery, angst, a little more drama oh and of course, the spice!!! I’m on the edge of my seat trying to patiently wait for the next book in this duet!!!
The start to the Eternal Havok Duet don’t start if you don’t have the time to finish it because you will be upset with yourself if you aren’t able to finish. Niko sexy as all get out next in line to rule after his father ascends on the next moon, he is told he needs a mate but finding one is the problem and when he touches the one everything changes. Cassandra sweet the next in line to take over the convent as the lead witch and her mother keeps trying to marry but that isn’t her plan and merge to end the war hasn’t been on her mind but the moment, she touches the one instantly know something is special there between theme and when he needs to earn her trust. But the more time they spend with each other the stronger the magnetic pull between them grows but when she is kidnapped confronted by her mother, she know something isn’t right but will she get to the bottom of the betrayal, will they end the war between them, and where are they headed maybe happiness without a war between them?
This is a short and quick read about fated mates. The story is about Niko, a vampire, and Cassandra, heir to the witch coven. The story is so good with betrayal, secrets, magic, passion, romance, intrigue and good twists. It does end in a happy for now with a promise of more to come, at least I hope.
This is a lunch read. This is Cassandra and Niko’s story. There is a prophecy about Niko and Cassandra, is it true? Between three realms one wants to destroy the other two. Can Niko find Cassandra and story it from happening? Will Cassandra believe him? What will she do when she finds out she has been lied to her whole life? Now to wait for the next book to see what happens.
This is Book 1 of Eternal Havok Duet. I love the characters in this story. Very entertaining, intense, spicy, twist and turns. Well written. I highly recommend this author does not disappoint and can't wait to see what is next.
This was a magical and well written romance that brings together Fae heir, Niko, and Coven leader heir, Cassandra. These two are fated but come from different realms... I loved the courtship that Niko thought important, and that he wanted a true partner and queen, not arm candy. Cassandra is special and part of a prophesy. Despite it's novella length, this story is packed with magic, drama, secrets, twists, betrayal, action, suspense and passion. We get a HFN ending but there's definitely more to come and I can't wait for the next installment :D
Niko needs to find his consort and he meets Cassandra but life is not simple and sacrifices will need to be made. This is a very well written book about two worlds colliding and how they can survive without loosing everything. This is a very good 5 star read.
I enjoyed His Queen. Niko needs a special queen to fulfill a prophecy and save his people from the Havoc. He is fairly honest with Cassandra about why he needs her (he keeps a few things to himself). Cassandra has been told she needs a mate to come into her power and take her place as the leader of her coven. Things are not as they seem though. When she needs him the most, Niko is there to help and support her.
Extremely well written, full of everything you need to enjoy this novella- magic, sparks, betrayal, witches lies, fae, drama and suspense. Niko is to be the next ruler shortly after his Father's time is up and he ascends by the next full moon. Cassandra is to be the next leader of the witches by the next full moon. Neither really want to merge but will need to. Cassandra is being pushed by her mother to marry someone she doesn't care for. So when Niko shows up and they touch, both know something special is between them and he ask her to trust him. After spending some time together, she learns the truth about a lot of things. When kidnapped and confronted by her Mother, she makes a final strong decision of who will help her rule and who she will marry. Add in the bad and you have lots of action to keep you turning the pages and reading. Can't wait for the next story. Would recommend to others.
Nice tale. It moved really quickly and has just enough excitement to pull you in and leave you wanting to know more. I hope there is more to this world because I am all kinds of curious now. It felt like there was room for so much expansion, especially in regards to her mother. I'd really like to know more about the dissolution process and if the MC will be able to avoid that once they merge.
This is Niko,a fae prince and Cassandra's,a witch story. Niko will be taking over as leader of Runic when his father ascends and and will need a consort. He has no idea what to do until the oracle comes to him and tells him of a prophecy in which a powerful witch becomes the kings consort and help finally end the war with Quietus a realm of death and decay. Cassandra is such a witch and belongs to the Panala coven. Can Niko convince her that she should join him in ruling her realm and his especially when there is a "curse" she will have to bear if she does. Can they overcome the sinister forces working against them? Check it out to see. You won't be disappointed you did.
Niko is aware of a properly in his hint for a mate. Cassandra is a witch awaiting to take over the covers and is promised to another. But when these two collidenthe chemestry and bond is strong can they over come the fates ahead? Well written fast paced quick paranormal romance.
Magik, Mayhem, Secrets He didn’t just want a queen, he wanted someone to love, someone who would be his equal and partner in life but time was running out! Cassandra was to be the head of her coven, taking over from her mother but in order to do that she had to find herself a consort and not the one her mother tried to force on her. A magical read full of love, caring, romance with a HEA and a storyline to be continued!
His Queen by Jade Marshall is one of the best books I read in the last year (and I’m a big reader ?). It’s a short read but Jade did an amazing job here. It’s amazing how little words is enough to get a clear idea about the characters and the each of the worlds. It’s a romantic fantasy that gets under your skin.
