Beautiful

This Novella is about the last couple that appears in the series and it is Hector, the new Prince consort and Rowena the new queen and it is all about their new adventure of working with together and trying to show Rowena’s kingdom that Hector is there to help and not too undermine Her rule.
If you read this series, I highly recommend reading all the Novellas’s that go in between each novel. It totally adds that much more to the series and makes it really enjoyable.

Trust and patience!

I really liked the end of the story, but it's a shame that this was the last part of the series. I can identify with the story and need to learn to be more patient to give the others a chance to catch up. It's impressive how the author can put himself in the characters' shoes and let them develop at their own pace.
If you like fantasy worlds in which the good guys have the upper hand, you'll really enjoy this series.
The narrator is very competent and takes you into the story.

A touching tale of love & diplomacy amidst turmoil

"A Summer of Unity" by Marie-Hélène Lebeault, beautifully narrated by Derek Stephen Brown, weaves a touching tale of love and diplomacy amidst turmoil. The writing is engaging, and Brown's narration brings the characters to life with charm. It's a sweet, uplifting story that shines with hope and unity.

Queen Rowena

In this fifth novella in the Defenders of the Realm series, we get a glimpse into Queen Rowena and Hector’s relationship as they travel to Odentia to introduce new magic from the Silver Springs. There were a lot of tense moments and gripping alterations along the way, and it doesn’t help their relationship or their journey, that each of their kingdoms actually hate each other. This ended up being my favorite novella from the series!
