About this listen
Our kind has been enslaved by the Fae for as long as this kingdom remembers. They need us to keep water in their kingdom flowing; without it, their kind would surely all perish, as not even the powerful Fae have control over the waters that feed life to everything. Somewhere along the line, they all lost that ability, as if that element revolted against them.
For over 21 years, I've been kept in the dark about my true heritage, being raised as a witch, like my auntie, that can wield water with spells. Soon I will be old enough to leave my childhood home and go beyond the protection spell that has kept me safe all these years to seek out my destiny.
A vision, perhaps even a prophecy, in the castle where I was born caused my parents to secret me away under the cover of darkness. I was saved by an unlikely partnership.
For the first time in thousands of years, the elements are set to combine into the greatest power ever known, and somehow I am the center of it all.
The power of the elements is told to bring about peace in the lands and restore life in the realm to a greatness more than it has ever been before.
No more struggles for food, no more starvation. No more taxation with penalties of death. No more hatred and fear of the rulers of the kingdom. Only prosperity, health, and maybe even something more?
Please note: This is a fantasy romance novel. It contains content that may not be suitable for young children.

My car broke down on an icy road in the middle of nowhere. I’ve got no money in the bank, no place to stay, and no food for my kids. Can it get any worse? Sure. A police car pulls up. The county sheriff calls his twin brother to tow my car for repairs that'll probably cost more than the beater is worth. They say don’t worry about it. They only want to help. Sure they do. These gorgeous guys just happen to have two friends who own a luxurious motel called Little Cypress Lodge.

I rejected my fated mate, and didn’t regret it for a second. Until now. Shipped off to Ravenscroft University, a graduate school for the supernatural elite, I have a lot to live up to. As heir to America’s most powerful pack, I was locked away. Not to be protected, but because I was born broken. A disappointment. A wolf who couldn’t shift. This is supposed to be my fresh start, but my past won’t leave me alone. Not when he’s here.

You’d think being the only known unicorn shifter in the world would have a few benefits, like people treating you kindly or getting special treatment from the council. Not in my case. I'd be lucky to get a piece of bread thrown at me. My name is Celestia Rainbow. Shifters assume that I’m kind by nature, but trust me, I’m not. I’m fierce, short-tempered, and have the mouth of a sailor. Add in my stealthy fighting skills, advanced magic casting, and swift movement you’ll soon realize I'm someone you wouldn't want to mess with

Wolf shifters are real. And, three alphas have claimed me as their mate. For years, I've been kept prisoner by my uncle, hidden like a piece of trash in the basement of his house - beaten, broken, and neglected, hated by him for reasons I can't even understand. But, one night on the back roads of rural Montana, I see a chance for escape. And, I take it. I run...straight into the arms of a naked man. No. Not a man. A wolf. Ridge, the man with dark hair and honey-colored eyes, is the alpha of the North Pack.

All I wanted was to find answers to who I was. No one knew who had abandoned the gray-eyed baby with fiery red hair and a cry loud enough to make a man's nuts retract. I moved to Arbor Falls to find myself. Little did I know I'd be thrown into a world I didn't know existed. A world with wolves at each other's throats and enough pack politics and danger to make my head spin. Then there's the fact that I have more than one mate. Not all of them accept me because there's one gigantic problem: I'm not what they expected.

Great story!
I was drawn into this world from the moment I hit play. I loved the world building and the different characters. The story packed a punch and didn’t didn’t want to stop listening once I hit start. The dynamic of the world was very interesting. I really loved the main character and how she interacted with the other characters. She’s got a lot to figure out and find out what she’s willing to fight for.

An intriguing RH fated mates fantasy romance
The Prophesy of the Water Sprite by K. Rose was a unique take on a RH fated mates fantasy romance story with a nice prophetic twist and an evil sorcerer hell bent on bringing destruction to their magical world.
While the overall tone of this story was very formal and rigid at times, and may be hard for some readers to get around, I felt like it brought a very regal addition to this story set in an elegant fae fantasy world and kind of added to the appeal of the story that way.
The story starts out with a dark Fae King and his men imprisoning Water Sprites to gain control over all the waters in the realm after two powerful mages foresaw a prophesied future—a prophecy that revolves around our sweet and shy FMC, Skyy.
Skyy always believes she was a mere witch, living with her “auntie” deep in the forest, however when her auntie dies she soon realizes she’s an integral part to a world changing prophecy…and has three fated elemental mates that she must find in order to fulfill the prophesy: Vale, Enlil and Elio.
And while it is a slow progressing story, and definitely a slow burn romance, it still had a solid plot and the connection of the characters was still enough to be intriguing and entertaining. And while there was some spice, it wasn’t as much as I was expecting with it being heavy on the instalove connections between a few of them.
Overall if you love a good RH fated mate fantasy that includes magic, mystery, prophecies and an evil villain set on destroying the land…this is the book for you! And while the narrators were a tad bit too lyrical for me, and had a much slower cadence then I prefer, the dual narration was a nice touch and i liked how they were able to change it up just enough to reflect the different characters—I just had to speed up the play to make it more enjoyable.

Impressive.
Review on the Story:
This was actually a pretty good story. Skyy and her men we great together. I loved how the story unfolded and progressed. Definitely a great read for a first time author. I look forward to reading more from this author in the future.
Narration:
I enjoyed listening to the characters in this book being brought to life. I read the book first and really enjoyed it and listening to it was just as good. I liked how there were 2 separate narrators and how they kept to their own gender. The only reason why I gave 4 stars is because I would have liked a little separation in the voices between the characters. For example when Enlil and Elio speak in their minds they sound exactly alike there is no change in voice. Same goes for the female characters.
Overall a really great story and I definitely recommend it.

Interesting world...
Gets off to a very intriguing start and the reader has the idea that they know what’s going on before the characters even do as it goes on …
A great way to execute a book about a prophecy, IMO, this was well done. The varying POVs only serves this further and keeps me intrigued despite less-than-stellar narration.
Great world-building and good character development.
I think it would’ve been more enjoyable if the steamy stuff was left out of it … not because I have any opposition to steamy at all, but because this sort of writing doesn’t seem to be a strength of this author’s. All of the spicy scenes were ones I felt I’ve read/heard before, right down to the dialogue during these times. To be fair, it certainly is hard to keep this original, but it was also cheesy at times.
The bigger issue for me was, there were entire paragraphs dedicated to his 'tight pants'. If this is to be believed, he’s just running around, sporting that, for any and no reason whatsoever, unprovoked, pretty much all of the time, like a preteen … but he’s supposed to be an adult and have 10 years on his mate. I just found it, not only implausible, but very redundant. When the male lead was talking about something other than his pants, I did find him to be a well-developed, likable character. I feel like a few thousand words collectively were probably spent on just this one, uh … attribute, and cutting the bulk of them out would take nothing away from the story. (It might actually add to it, by tightening up the manuscript as a whole and eliminating lots of repetition.)
The plot was interesting and fun and it managed to pack a moment or two that tore at my heartstrings. This author absolutely has strengths and I think they’d be amazing at writing clean speculative fiction.
I'd probably explore more from this author. But not these narrators.
3.5 stars.
⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️
Audio:
Love dual narrators, conceptually, and usually. On this one … the male sounded more robotic than human to me so I had a little trouble paying attention during his turns. (His voice is actually really hot, if he’d tone down the AI-impersonation, he’d likely be great.) The female narrator had a smooth voice, but also sounded robotic. Better than listening to AI for sure but, not narrators I’d seek more from.
There are also instances, later into the book, of words and names that were clearly spliced in. I fear the audio production team on this book took advantage of this author.

Good story
Unfortunately I could not finish listening to this book and will finish it via Kindle. The narration was too slow for my liking and there was no distinction between each character. This is dual narration which I love I just didn't care for these narrators.
