From Amelia Hutchins, award-winning author of The Fae Chronicles, and author of the internationally bestselling series Playing with Monsters comes a new dark and sensual epic fantasy series set in a world of magic realms, mystical creatures, royal intrigue, and betrayal. Join Aria Primrose Hecate on a journey of self-discovery as she races to find her missing twin sister and save her family from a war that’s been brewing within the Nine Realms for over five hundred years.

Aria and her sisters return to the Human Realm of Haven Falls to find one of their own that’s gone missing. They soon discover things have changed in the Human Realm and that nothing is what it seems, including Knox, the egotistical, self-centered, frustratingly gorgeous man who declared himself King during their absence.

Sparks fly when the two enter a fiery battle of wills as Aria learns she is more than just a witch in the Hecate bloodline; she is much, much more.

Will Aria embrace her savage side to find her sister and save her family, or will she burn to ashes from his heated kisses and burning hot embrace?

Knox has ulterior motives for being in Haven Falls and never expected the little witch to show up and brazenly challenge his rule.

It was supposed to be easy; get in and get out. Move pieces into place and set the stage for the war he’s been planning for over five hundred years. Aria is his sworn enemy but something within her calls to him and he hates himself for craving the fiery kisses that have reignited his cold, dead heart. One taste, and he thought he could get her out of his system. He was wrong.

Will Knox let go of the memories of the past, driving his need for revenge that will destroy the pretty little witch he craves, or will he push the boundaries to fight for and claim what is his by right? Either way, war is inevitable. And nothing will stop him from reaching for what is his.

Review:

This book was epic. I mean, it is an epic fantasy, but still. 😂

Amelia Hutchins had me hooked from the first page. I love her writing and the characters in this book are something else! 

“Life is a bitch, and you can let it destroy you, or you can face it head-on and show that it doesn’t define who you choose to become in life.”- Flames of Chaos, Amelia Hutchins. 

Aria is that strong kick ass woman that you always want to strive to be. She’s confident, doesn’t give a shit what anyone thinks, she’s sarcastic and sassy, and she is a damn Queen in her own right. I fucking loved her. I can’t wait to see how she progresses in the other books. Because, damn. By the end of Flames of chaos she is one amazing, strong as hell woman. Though, don’t get me wrong she was strong as hell from the beginning. 

And Knox, damn him. He is such an alpha A-hole, and you just can’t help but love him, even when you hate him sometimes. And the chemistry between these two is straight up fire! I am SO interested to see where the story leads these two. 

“The man kissed like he was going to war, and my mouth was an enemy he wanted to destroy. It was brutal and yet beautiful.”- Flames of Chaos, Amelia Hutchins. 

And speaking of the story! Ah! It was amazing. I absolutely love this world of The Nine Realms That Amelia Hutchins has created. It’s dark, gritty, brutal, and downright captivating. 

This book isn’t going to be for everyone, like any other book, but if you love all of those things I just mentioned,  plus some really hot sexy times thrown in there, get this book ASAP! 

I don’t really have anything negative to say about this book, though I will admit as much as I love Knox’s character, I found myself not really connected to the few chapters we get from him POV. But that just might be because I loved Aria so much I didn’t want to leave her perspective, lol. 

“I preferred romance or fantasy to escape and live a thousand lives I’d never experience without the author giving me the chance to climb inside their soul, making their books my home for a little while.” - Flames of Chaos, Amelia Hutchins. 

I have seriously missed reading epic fantasy, but Amelia just does it in a way that I have never experienced before. You will be glued to the pages just completely enthralled with the story and things unraveling before your eyes. 

4.5 fantastic stars for me! You definitely don’t want to miss this book. It is an amazing, fantastical ride.
