The Concealed

Heir of Earth and Sky, Book 1

By: SK Horton

Narrated by: Amanda Leigh Cobb

Sometimes destiny is written. Hers was concealed.

When Cate travels from Oregon to university in England, she expects her gravest dilemma to be finding coffee instead of tea, but she’s got bigger problems—much bigger. At Staton University, nothing is quite what it seems.

Even her own identity.

Unbeknownst to Cate, a prophecy deems her as destined to defeat a ruthless enemy in a magical land, placing a target squarely on her back. Now, someone on campus is stalking her, and a narrow escape sends her through a mysterious portal, assisted by two irresistible boys.

Yet the fantastical new world is even more treacherous with rival kingdoms and imminent war.

Falling in love wasn’t part of the plan, but what’s a girl to do? A fresh start was all she wanted—a few new friends in the dorms with a trusty latte in hand—not war, an estranged biological father who is king, or a star-crossed love straight out of Romeo and Juliet (hopefully without the dying part).

As the battle looms, Cate must solve the mystery of the prophecy and decide who in her circle is trustworthy before the place she now calls home is destroyed.

Don't miss this new Young Adult Romantic Fantasy from debut author SK Horton about first love in a fantastical new world. Featuring swoon-worthy romance, court intrigue, backstabbing villains and so much more, it's perfect for fans of Melissa Albert's The Hazel Wood, Lauren Roberts' Powerless, and lovers of all things romantasy!

Cute YA Romantasy

I loved this YA Fantasy romance. I thought it was a very good introduction into this world, a cozy fantasy with dragons and balls and and older YA romance but no spice which I did not miss. I listened to it in audio and Amanda did a great job with all the accents and I was able to lose myself for a couple hours in another place. This is book one of a series so it does not resolve the story line at the end but it does not leave you on a major cliffhanger. Overall, if you like cozy YA Romantasy, you will immensely enjoy this book. I look forward to more by @authorskhorton.

Cute, fun story

For a YA romantasy novel, this was a GREAT listen. The beginning of the book caught my attention quickly, and the romance was sweet between our two leads. There was a slow bit around 70% but that tends to happen in fantasy books imo. The ending was fun and high energy. Narration was fantastic. This voice actor had really great accents and male voices. Can’t wait for the rest of the series !

Great Palate Cleanser!

Coming off of a dark book, I was looking for a brighter, lighter mood. This story met that need and then some. It gave Dorothy in magical Oz fantasy vibes as the FMC uncovers her origin and destiny. The Narrator was fantastic! Great male voice and distinctive voices for the multiple characters maintained consistently throughout the story. Great for YA. I look forward to the next book in the series and more from the Narrator.

LOVED IT!!!

I loved how this book was both in “our world,” but also in a fantasy world! That was a fun, unique part. I also loved how we didn’t find out Kate’s power until the very end! (As frustrating as that was! Lol)

This was an EXCELLENT book 1, and I cannot WAIT for book 2!!!

The Concealed is a fun read (or listen as the case may be)!

I really enjoyed this book! I bought a physical copy to read (my first in YEARS I usually consume books in audio format)) and it sucked me in pretty quickly, so much so that because I couldn’t devote time to sit down and read so I caved and bought the Audiobook as well.

I’m looking forward to the next installment. :)

I had trouble getting into this book. . So c'est la vie. 3⭐'s.

I had trouble getting into this book. I usually like YA but I just couldn't do it this time. It was OK I guess, and it might've been good if only the love interests didn't get in the way of the plot. But the whole book seemed to be build around those same said interests.
And I'm not saying anything bad about Amanda Leigh Cobb the narrator, she was but she couldn't save the book. So c'est la vie. 3⭐'s.
