What if the choice you have to make has devastating consequences for others?How can anyone know the right thing to do?This series is so detailed and has such a different feel from other fantasy series that I've read - it's definitely one I recommend. Writing with WolvesLeonie chose to sacrifice everything to save other people. Now those around her have to face the consequences - and those consequences are not what they expected.Prospero must deal with his own guilt. He was the one who gave Leonie the tools she needed - her life was in his hands. To make the most of what she did, he will have to face up to all the family issues he has avoided for so long. Whatever he chooses to do, someone he loves will be hurt. For Leonie's sake, is he now strong enough to make the choice he couldn't make before?The crisis predicted by Lord Gabriel has come and gone. But his task isn't over. Leonie's very existence may be out in the open but Gabriel discovers that the past is never what it seems - and nor is the present. How can he use what he now knows to bring together those who have been enemies for as long as anyone can remember? If he fails in this, everything he's had to do so far will be in vain.A wonderful blend of fantasy and romance without the tropes or standard formula. It's a beautiful premise, filled with drama, action, and everything we've come to expect from the series. Radzy WritesI loved getting to see the relationships and the characters develop. This is a book that makes you want to rush through to find out exactly what's going to happen! FNM Book ReviewsAn incredible series with fantastic and powerful characters. Fany goes EnglishI adore the world that Bonner has built up in this series; it's a very unique but interesting world, complete with an intricate social system and clearly defined communities, with the religious undertones adding a fresh twist to it.

The second book in the enthralling Choices and Consequences seriesWhat if your secrets are so dangerous they could destroy the one you love? Is honesty always the best policy? This is a story of faith, god and fantasy all mixed into a beautifully written tale of love and consequences of our actions....one that will stay with you... The BookwormeryLeonie may have run away but Prospero will find her. He loves her and he wants a future with her by his side whatever the consequences. Only when he does find her, he ought to tell her who he is, outside the monastery. That'll make her run again. Dare he risk it? But if he doesn't tell her, someone else may..Marriage to Prospero is what Leonie wants most and the one thing she knows she can't have. If he found out what she was really like, what she'd been, what she'd done, he'd despise her and she couldn't bear that. Better to leave now than live a lie - but it's harder than she expected. If only... Gabriel is starting to discover the secrets inherent in Leonie, secrets that not even she knows, secrets that will tear the world apart. And the secrets he is keeping are tearing him apart. How can sacrificing those he loves possibly achieve peace when everything he discovers risks the death of millions?The pacing complimented the plot, which was self-contained and a wonderful next step for the natural progression of the story. I hope the author continues developing and exploring the world, she has the fundamentals for a saga on her hands. Radzy WritesAn intriguing second book in this surprising series. The end is so thrilling I want to read the next book. In De BoekenkastI was enveloped by the magic of this world The whole book was super unpredictable and the writing was, yet again, really easy to fall into. Writing with WolvesThe character development is fantastic. The plot was intricate and absorbing. I wanted more. Jessica Belmont
