a Pirate, bound by a centuries-old oath -- a Knight, determined to prove her calling -- a Legacy, demanding surrender
As Keeper of the Seahorse Legacy, Cazien de Pollis is a King among pirates, divinely appointed to dispense justice on the seas. Bound by the sacred oath of a long-dead ancestor, he must fulfill a contract to wed the green-eyed Oracle’s Daughter named therein—or risk losing everything he and his people hold dear. But at nineteen, with the identity of his betrothed only recently revealed, Cazien resents the contract—and the urgency within him to see it satisfied.
Erielle de Gladiel returned from the quest for the Remedy, changed. Not only are her formerly-blue eyes now a brilliant shade of green, but she must don gloves to hide inky evidence that her prophetically-bestowed title, the Oracle’s Daughter, demands more from her than the task already completed. Erielle’s dearest-held dream is realized when she is knighted by her King, but unbeknownst to her, that very honor jeopardizes the prophesied purpose to which she and Cazien have been called.
Just as Cazien summons the courage to collect his bride, dark rumors and darker deeds crawl up the coasts, calling its guardians, the Seahorse Pirates, into action—and Cazien away from Erielle. But even though the Oracle’s Daughter knows nothing of the contract to which she has been consigned, Cazien’s enemies have somehow learned of his interest in Erielle. And if they reach her before his ancestor’s weighty oath is executed, the Seahorse Legacy will be forfeited . . . and darkness will be given reign.
The third book in this series-within-a series, The Seahorse Legacy begins an epic re-imagining of the classic Grimm fairy tale, The Twelve Dancing Princesses which will conclude in Eyes of E’veria, Book 4: The Sunken Realm, coming in 2015.
Want to dive deeper into the world of E'veria? Look for the first two-book set in the Eyes of E'veria series by Serena Chase! The Ryn (book 1) and The Remedy (book 2) retell the classic Grimm fairy tale Snow White & Rose Red on an inspirational and epic scale.

I have been really looking forward to the release of this book! Cazien is one of those characters that both charms you and sticks with you! I was so excited to read his story and I was not disappointed, well except that I have to wait till 2015 to see it fully played out in Book 4! Anticipation, anticipation, anticipation!!!
This book picks up speed right from the beginning and continues to have you racing through it all the way to the last page! In fact there were some places that Chase reiterated things, maybe for readers who didn't read Books 1& 2, or she just went on again about something that I felt was established or really not important to the story. In those areas, I will admit I skim read, the anticipation to see our hero and heroine get to where they needed to be or to do what need to be done, was just too great. I will reread this story prior to reading Book 4 and I am sure at that point (hopefully) I will be able take it all in at a more leisurely pace! (Wink!)
I do so enjoy Chase's writing style and her characters. Her story is well written and you get swept up in it. Even the grand and magical, seem realistic and the story easily comes to life in your mind. So much so, that you feel as if you are a part of it.
Both our hero and heroine, have their own obstacles and issues to be fleshed out. Pride and longing for control of things are something that both will have to battle. Erielle has some other character flaws that can make you want to shake her but at the same time help make her character very believable.
What more can I say... If you are up for a grand, fanciful adventure, then this one will not disappoint! It really sets the stage for Book 4, where we will get to see more of our hero and heroine together! Which I have to say was something that didn't happen as often in Book 3, but when it did their interactions were so well written and definitely high points of the story! Absolutely enjoyed this tale!
