Spirit Trials

The Spirit Kingdoms #1 / 3
by A. J. Manney
Spirit Trials (The Spirit Kingdoms #1) by A. J. Manney
Unrated

She entered the trials as an outsider. She’ll rise as a legend.

Farrah has spent her life in a quiet village where survival means strength. Her people are strong, self-sufficient, and taught to defend themselves—skills she’s mastered well. She’s never heard of spirit animals or the deadly trials that mark the passage to adulthood in the Wolf, Jaguar, and Dragon kingdoms.

On the eve of tragedy, a cold-eyed outsider shows up with armed men, and she’s forced to leave everything behind. Her family’s safety depends on her obedience—even if it means stepping into a world where she doesn’t belong. In the Wolf Kingdom, Farrah is thrown into the Spirit Trials, a brutal competition meant to bring forth a spirit animal. Most train their whole lives for this; Farrah didn’t even know spirit animals existed.

Rysden, the man who took her from her village, keeps his distance but insists she can survive the trials, even without a spirit animal. Farrah doesn’t know why he cares, or what he’s hiding. Allies will join her, and her will to survive will be tested like never before. She’ll discover a strength she never knew she had—and a destiny she never saw coming.

*If you like paranormal romance set in a fantasy world and males that are fiercely protective of their mates, this series is or you.This is a closed-door romance series with fade-to-black scenes. Each book in this trilogy is full-length (95,000+ words) and features a different couple. Each book can be read as a stand-alone but is best enjoyed as part of the series.
