Synopsis: Of all the worlds and life they created, the gods favored their children the most. But with that favor came the fear that their Legacy would one day become too powerful and overthrow them. Devram was created. A realm hidden amongst the stars. The gods gave their Legacy the best of all the worlds, and then they left, a sworn agreement to never return and to never interfere. Forced to a life of servitude, the Fae are required to provide for the Legacy in more ways than one. Every five years, the eligible Fae are gathered for the Selection and assigned to serve in one of the six Kingdoms. To be chosen as the personal Source for a Kingdom Heir is the greatest honor, and for the first time in a millennia, all six Kingdoms have heirs choosing a Source. But their selections could tip the power balance a little too far. Tessalyn Asura was as forgotten as the realm. But when she finds herself the personal Source to the Heir of Endings, she winds up serving in the darkest Kingdom of them all . The secrets within the Arius Kingdom are meant to be learned and kept, but this was never the life she wanted. Fighting not only the fate thrust upon her, but the temptation to lose herself to desire, Tessa will do anything to escape her new destiny. Until she starts to realize maybe their world wasn’t as forgotten as they thought, and maybe she’s the reason why.
Rain of Shadows and Endings is book one in The Legacy Series and ends on a cliffhanger. This is new adult dark fantasy romance series and includes elements that may be triggering to some readers.

My Review:
This book was beyond epic but in a not so good way. I went into this one thinking I was going to die hard love it as it kind of reminded me of Firebird. That whole Master/Slave dynamic with some fated mates tossed in. But what I actually got is a controlling MMC that forced the MFC to give up everything she had and he was just a bully with powers and status. I was hoping that somewhere in this story of over 600 pages that the MMC was going to be redeemed and maybe pull his head out of his butt. But that never fully happened. It was all about control. I was also hoping that the MFC was going to just go for the nuts and put the MMC in his place but unfortunately that also never fully happened. I think I might have felt a little different if they would have been some kind of fated mates, but even with that tied in there the 'I own you' part of this was just to much. This really felt like it was more under the bully dark romance vs. romantasy etc. And basically it borders on that line of is this rape or is the bond acceptable.
