Dawning (Bowhar) by Kim Pritekel

As Mariota fights her birthright as queen of Sursha, she admits that her Druid blood has been calling to her. Her powers have advanced to the point that Macha, Queen of the Druids, has taken her personally under her wing in Ryarch. Queen Elsie is suspicious after receiving a request from eight-month-pregnant Laigen to retrieve her from France, claiming her husband, the Marqués de Velencia, must remain due to business. Isabeau is dispatched in her capacity as an Elite Guard member to get her sister. She finds that not all is what it seems, and danger is all around them. Deciding to explore her Ankou roots—and her growing feelings for Bo—Riley is plunged into a new world she could never have imagined, even as she painted what her heart already knew. When sent on a mission with Bo, she is attacked by a soldier who hails from a kingdom gone extinct thousands of years before, through a rip in time and space. Who has created this rip, and why? When Riley’s gift to see through time shows her horrific things to come in Sursha, and to their beloved queen, she must make the ultimate choice—remain in her life in the twenty-first century or leave it all as the Dawning of her destiny calls her into action. Ankou, Druid, Ohn, and the reluctant Baheoch must work together as the drumbeat of war looms in Book Three of the Bowhar series! Read more
