The Return of the Elves Series, Volumes 1-4

Soulbound, Sundered, Exiled, and Seared

By: Bethany Adams

Narrated by: Gabrielle de Cuir, Stefan Rudnicki

This collection includes the first four books in the Return of the Elves romantic fantasy series: Soulbound, Sundered, Exiled, and Seared.

A hidden conspiracy

When Arlyn journeys through the Veil from Earth to Moranaia to confront her elven father, Lord Lyr, she has no idea what to expect. Getting soulbonded her first day there and kickstarting a plot against the father she just met? Yeah, neither of those were on the list. As her magic awakens, Arlyn must learn to use her gifts to face the rising danger.

A threat that spans worlds.

For the threat doesn’t end with Moranaia. Poisoned energy is flooding into the closely connected realms of the fae, causing sickness, and petitions for aid arrive from as far away as fabled Alfheim. With only Moranaia untouched, Lyr must rush to find the source of the threat.

An unexpected enemy

Mistakenly exiled to Earth, Delbin tries his best to keep a low profile. But when a rogue Moranaian prince tries to recruit Delbin, life takes a complicated turn. Now Delbin and the scout Inona must work together to hunt down Prince Kien before he unleashes his latest plot.

A fate long foretold.

After more than three hundred years on Earth, Prince Ralan has finally returned to Moranaia. But with his wicked brother Kien on the loose, the homecoming is a short one. A dire vision sends Ralan back to Earth to save his soulbonded from his dark brother. The problem? Ralan’s Sight is broken—and stopping Kien will mean Ralan’s death.

Journey through the Return of the Elves series, where half-bloods, exiles, scouts, and seers must come together to prevent their worlds’ destruction.

good series

Easy to listen to. Not violent or too racy. Able to listen in front of others. great narration.

the detail in which the author brought the elves to life.

it was an interesting story. each book telling the story of two coming together in unexpected ways. I liked that at least one of the couples just fell for each other rather than being soul bonded.

Great writing

I really enjoy the writing and love the humor written into the series. The roller coaster of emotions that every character feels makes since since most books take place over only a couple days

Great storyline

Enjoyed the storyline. The humor was a nice addition. The narration was pleasant to listen to

Good listen fantasy

If you love Elves Fae and other mythical characters this is a good way to pass the time.

Great Characters and story

Loved the story, characters and narrators. I wish it were longer! Looking forward to reading more of her books.

Wide range of Emotions and mental health considerations.

Liked the depth of character. Respect for life and its diversity. Unique and up to date in many ways. Relatable in many ways. Narrators are among the best by far. Listened to whole series through 8.

slow to start.

The story had a very slow start. After a couple of chapters, it picked up. After the start, I enjoyed the story and the narration.

Dialect work needed

While the timber of the male narrator was pleasant to listen to, both authors butchered the dialect of Appalachian mtns regions. It doesn’t sound like the bayous of Louisiana or rural Deep South. And Chattanooga is Chat-ta-noo-ga.

The story was tame enough for those that blush easily, and different enough from other popular trend elfin storylines to not feel like your reading the same story just different names for f some series.

details details!

Excellently written. almost feel as your part of the story!
narration perfect, made the characters come alive.
