Synopsis
The Elemental Boxset has the first three books in the series: Recurve, Breakwater, and Firestorm PLUS the novella "Peta" PLUS the original version of Recurve that has never before been published. RECURVE Her magic is weak. Her ruling stepmother hates her. And now she’s her people’s only hope. Frustrated by her pathetically useless powers, Larkspur can only dream of being accepted by true elementals. And as the bastard daughter of the king, she lives under the constant wrath of his jealous wife. When she’s falsely accused of attacking the cruel woman, she must choose between military service or banishment… and both lead to certain death. Seizing her slim chance for survival, Lark embarks on training as a soldier for the unforgiving kingdom. But though she excels in her new role, it may not be enough to stay safe from a queen out for her blood. Will she bow under pressure, or unlock the power to vanquish the vicious tyrant? Recurve is the thrilling first book in The Elemental urban fantasy series. If you like iron-willed heroines, forces of nature, and rooting for the underdog, then you’ll love Shannon Mayer’s enthralling tale! "BREAKWATER was a twisty, come-out-swinging book that really propelled this series and its characters forward in a big way. The first installment revolved around the Earth Elementals which by their very definition made them less alien than the Undine so, in volume 2, Shannon Mayer was able to fully let her creative cat (Peta) out of the bag by initiating readers to the secrets of the Deep." -Rabid Reads “My name is Larkspur, and I am an Elemental.” My people use the power of the earth to sustain life and defy our enemies. I should be at my father's side as a royal princess. But as a half-breed, bastard child, that isn't going to happen. As an Ender, one of my father’s Elite guards, it’s my job to do as I’m told. When my older sister is sent as an ambassador to the realm of the water elementals--the Deep--I have no choice but to accompany her as her bodyguard. With the death of the water elemental's King, a deadly battle for the throne begins; a battle we are forced to choose sides in. There are only a few things I know for sure. The ocean may be beautiful, but lurking in its depths are monsters to fear, the water I tread is teeming with danger and I am on my own. With no one to help and no one to trust, I have to find a way to keep my sister safe and stop a civil war. But the secrets within the Deep are far darker than any of us realized. Welcome . . . welcome to the Deep. FIRESTORM “I just love the worlds she builds and the kick-ass heroines she writes! There is nothing worse than a weak heroine that does nothing but cry and expects a man to save her. Shannon DOES NOT do that. Her leading ladies are strong independent warriors yet so full of heart and soul that when that rare occasion comes that tears are shed you can't help but cry with them.“-Boundless Book Reviews “My name is Larkspur, and I am an Elemental.” My people use the power of the earth to sustain life and defy our enemies. I should be at my father's side as a royal princess. But as a half-breed, bastard child, that isn't going to happen. In a world of lava and fire, I am about to face my hardest trial yet. Not one of strength, or power, but intrigue and manipulation. However, my tolerance level for anyone outside of my family is at an all-time low, and the queen who rules the Pit expects complete obedience. As Ash’s life is held in the balance, I have just three days to prove his innocence and mine. This place holds more than a scorching heat; new foes, traitors, and creatures from the depths of the lava are all trying to keep us from surviving. The only question left. . . Can I get us all out without being burned alive? Welcome to the Pit.
