A masterpiece in fated mates and broken bonds world-building for fans of Sarah J. Maas, Amber V. Nicole, Kaylie Smith, and Rebecca Yarros, the first installment in Melissa K. Roehrich’s internationally bestselling Legacy Series is a contemporary dark romantasy set in a world forgotten by the gods, created for their descendants, roamed by dragons, served by Fae…and not so different from our own.

“No one writes emotional, immersive, beautiful chaos like Melissa Roehrich. If you love worlds you can practically touch and taste, angst that will have your heart pounding, and romance that will leave you breathless, Rain of Shadows and Endings will consume you from the beginning!” —LJ Andrews, bestselling author of The Ever Seas and Broken Souls and Bones

Out of all their creations, the gods favored their children the most. But with that favor came the fear that their Legacy would one day become too powerful . . .

A World the Gods Forgot
Devram is a realm hidden amongst the stars. The gods gave their Legacy the best of all the worlds, and then they left—having sworn to never return and to never interfere.

A Historical Event
Forced into a life of servitude, the Fae provide for the Legacy in more ways than one. Every five years, 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 millennia, all six Kingdoms have heirs choosing a Source. But their selections could tip the power balance a little too far.

A Chosen That Was Never Meant to Be
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 begins to realize that maybe their world isn’t as forgotten as they thought—and that maybe she’s the reason why.

Jamie’s review

These are CHONKY books, friends. This was a commitment. I don't even know how to summarize the MASSIVE amounts of storyline, its like trying to summarize all 27 seasons of Grey's Anatomy 😂

Tessa is the FMC and the whole series is a giant game of Ancestry.com - no one knows wtf she is and what powers she has. I liked that it was urban fantasy, that's fun. I liked Tessa. I liked her problems with authority.

I just don't like why choose books. And even though it was looking like a possibility in book 3, I thought we could avoid it in book 4, but no. It's just not for me. However, if I WAS going to like a why choose series though, it would be this one. If that helps.

I was invested and actually shocked at how my opinions changed of these characters. I was impressed.

However, too long. Let's TRIM these bad boys down, for the love.

Erica’s review

Here's the thing. I'm confused. I will stand by that until I complete the series. I even ASKED @kaila.books if it's a why choose and her exact response was, "No it's not a why choose like that. Please trust". Even after 3/4 books - I DO NOT TRUST. Okay, so it's not a typical why choose but I'm SO confused on whether it is…..and that drives me insane. So much of this series confused the shit out of me. It makes me very excited to read the final book 4 just to get some damn answers because I hate not knowing who I'm rooting for! I mean great job Melissa for being able to write these in a way to get me on one side then get me on the other immediately.

I also just remembered something else I disliked greatly about this series. I feel like new characters were constantly being introduced, and then they would go away for like entire books, only to be referenced slightly later on. Like WHO TF was that? I can't remember all these weird names to begin with…especially when they just pop in like hi, I'm Janyneaexphyx Doe. Bye. Then 3 books later I'm supposed to remember who the hell she was…. Sigh. I'm definitely ready for this series to wrap up so I can make my final decision!
