COMPLETE SERIES & A BLAST FROM OUR PAST & A HUGELYYYYY LOVED FANTASY ROMANCE SERIES!!! The first book was recommended to me a TON, and now it’s super-bargain priced, so I one-clicked it so hard!!
MichelleS: I was searching for my next good fantasy find… and this is it. Loving it so much. It’s called Radiance, Wraith Kings Book 1. Just released. Fantastic writing. She’s a human, royalty. He’s not human, and royalty. Arranged marriage. Sounds corny, I know, but somehow this author has a fresh, original, wonderful point of view and writing style. She thinks he’s hideous. He thinks she’s hideous. Funny and sweet and unbelievably good. I laughed out loud at the wedding feast! Can’t stop thinking about this book. Yay me!
Grace: …you were so right! Wow! I am not going to be able to move on to a new story now. That is far too interesting. I’m like a little fishy on a hook my fate is sealed by the pretty, shiny, glittering, shocking new storyline. Did you move on? Eidolon is happening now for me. Nothing else will do. Jean – Were you Wowed? What did you do? Did you move to Eidolon? Ugh!!!!
Jan 130: Yeah, it’s official. Radiance is excellent. Lovely, original characters and world-building. Kind of like a sweet YA fantasy in some ways, except the relationship between Brishen and Ildiko gets *ahem* rather adult. I s’pose I’d better check out Eidolon now. ;-D
Grace: Ildiko and Brishen!!! I loved Radiance and Eidolon both! Eidolon gives a nice level of completion even though there will be more later. It doesn’t leave you hanging! I’m so happy about that. I feared there may be another big Wow at the end of book 2, so I was a little scared knowing it will be a while until a book 3. Turns out it was totally the right decision to go right into the second book. I’m purring like a happy kitty.
bev: Radiance was a lovely romantic read.
Alexandra: Hmm, I have to say that Radiance by Grace Draven is my favorite fantasy romance. Ildiko and Brishen are just the best ♥️.
Sue: I think my favorite fantasy romance is Radiance by Grace Draven.
MichelleS: I will never forget the potato scene. I’m pretty sure I peed my pants….
Jean: You guys! I am loving Radiance. Only at 20% but, yeah, don’t want to put it down! And yes, I will never look at a potato the same again!

MichelleS: RADIANCE!!!! One of my favorites this year!!! It was awesome. Awesome writing and an amazing story. So good. I loved Radiance. That was a 5 star for me, because I would re-read it and I still remember almost everything. Just such great story telling there, and I always love a beauty and the beast kind of story. Still laugh about “the potato” scene. LOL.
Tessa: Radiance, all I have to say is, potatoes. 🙂 I’ve been laughing a lot through it and I’m only at 36%.
Eliza: Radiance (Wraith Kings, Book 1) by Grace Draven…not a cliff hanger. She is a writer who has a lyrical bent. This particular book is wonderful right from the start. Check out her other books they have a similar bent, two people who are very different finding each other.
Anne: Finished Radiance and loved it! 5+ stars! Love Brishen and Ildiko. Can’t wait for book # 2.
Anne: Re-reading Radiance and yup its just as good as I remembered. I just love Brishen and Ildiko together!
Fabi: I’m at 19% and can’t believe how good it is. I mean, right from page 1 it’s interesting and intriguing. Just…just.. fantastic. *knocks self upside the head* I know better than to put off your recs. I sometimes think I suffer from book induced ADD, I have a hard a hard time staying focused and am easily distracted by new shinies. I’m loving the heck outta Radiance…
