A queen imprisoned.
A reluctant prince.
A realm in peril…

The second dumbest thing I ever did was to make a Fae bargain with my mother. The dumbest thing was to make another one…

Trading my freedom for Lawrence’s life seemed like a noble act, and if I wasn’t already a celebrity in Faerie, I definitely am now. The problem is that being in the asylum means I have to play by its rules, and it soon shows itself to have a twisted mind and secrets to hide.

While I’m connecting the asylum’s secrets to my past and the hidden history of Faerie, my gargoyle lover and mate Lawrence is dealing with political and family complications. I thought my mother was my greatest foe, but it turns out there’s a bigger, deadlier game afoot, and Lawrence and I are the pawns.

Can I figure out how to leverage the power of the asylum to wriggle out of the bargain I made and claim my mate and destiny? Or will I be too late to defeat the voracious soul-sucking spirits amassing in Faerie and lose my sanity, my realm, my life… and my lover?

Sometimes even a Fae princess has to agree to an impossible bargain, and sometimes she has to break the rules. Guess which one I’m going to do?

Risen Shadows is the sixth and final book in the fast-paced and thrilling Fae Files urban fantasy series. If you love snarky heroines, satisfying slow-burn romance, twisty plots, and stories that straddle mundane and fantasy realms, these are the book and series for you.

5.0 out of 5 stars The end is only the beginning
Reviewed in the United States on April 20, 2024
Trapped in the Faerie asylum after making a plea bargain to save her friends, Reine must now embrace all she is to save all of Faerie. The dead are rising and are ravenous and soon all of Faerie will be destroyed. But who can Reine trust? With new allies and old foes, it’s a race against time for the Fae. And can she finally find the solution to the deadly environment for the gargoyles or will she have to lose her connection with Lawrence?

Cecilia Dominic brings her Fae Files series to a conclusion with Risen Shadows. With phenomenal world building, a strong but flawed lead character who shows tremendous growth, and compelling storytelling, this series is a jewel in the urban fantasy genre. This final book ties up the loose ends of Reine’s journey and gives our tortured couple a satisfyingly happy ending. However Ms. Dominic leaves space for side characters to have their own adventures, enticing readers to stay tuned. Until then, I will be catching up on her Lycanthropy and Truth Seekers series that exist in the same universe.

5.0 out of 5 stars NO, it can't be over!
Reviewed in the United States on January 30, 2024
This series has been a fun and wild ride and I've enjoyed every moment that I got to spend in this world. What a joy to be able to read all these in a row also. I loved how the series ended but I still wish there was more to this series, as I am sad to see it go. If you're reading this, you need to stop and start with the very first book in this series. It's amazing and snarky and full of irreverence. Totally fun.

... For more. The ending is messy and the whole book feels a bit hurried. Bang after bang after bang kept going, not a worthy end to a good series, I almost wish I hadn't read it.

4.0 out of 5 stars A thrilling conclusion to a fun series
Reviewed in the United States on March 18, 2023
Risen Shadows is the sixth and final book in Cecilia Dominic’s Fae Files urban fantasy series. You really need to read all of the books in this series in order since the story flows fairly seamlessly from one book to the next. This series takes place in the same world as Dominic’s Dream Weavers and Truth Seekers series and Lycanthropy Files series. It’s not necessary to read those books to enjoy this series, but if you have, you’ll enjoy seeing some familiar characters and references to past events. I love how the mythology of this world just gets richer and richer.

I love the characters in this series, and it has been so much fun to watch Reine and Lawrence’s inner and outer journeys. Along with satisfying character arcs, this book features the mystery, intrigue, and suspense common throughout the series. I loved learning more about the history of the Fae and gargoyles, as well as discovering some other creatures that inhabit this world.

The story is told in chapters alternating between Reine and Lawrence’s perspectives, which helps keep up the suspense. The momentum builds, and the second half of the book felt like a race to the finish. That’s great, except that it ended so quickly. There was a brief epilogue, but I would have liked to see the ending fleshed out a bit more given the world-changing events that occurred. It sounds like some of these characters are likely to appear in subsequent books set in this world, so I hope we’ll learn more about what happens to everyone.

Try this if you enjoy urban fantasy series with a snarky heroine, featuring many different paranormal creatures, and including a slow-burn romance.

I received a free copy from the author, and I volunteered to provide an honest review.

5.0 out of 5 stars Making one last bargain
Reviewed in the United States on October 10, 2023
It is time for our heroine to pull out all the stops if she wants to save her realm and our hero. It is not going to be easy, but then our heroine doesn't exactly play by the rules.

This is book sic of the series and its conclusion. I strongly recommend starting at the beginning of the series.

This is an urban fantasy story featuring the fae. The story is well written and easy to read with a well developed setting. I love the detail. The characters are also well developed with diverse personalities and agendas which sometimes go together and sometimes not. This one packs a lot into the story as everything comes together for the final act. Overall, it was a fascinating and highly engaging series and I look forward to more from this author.

Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars politics
Reviewed in the United States on April 22, 2023
Reine is back for more trouble but this time politics are involved more then ever. And of course there is intrigue, secrets, danger, and family involved. Just a fun and entertaining read that kept me glued to the end to see what would happen and how it would end.

5.0 out of 5 stars One hell of a ride.
Reviewed in the United States on April 23, 2023
This has been one hell of a ride and now it’s all come to a close. It’s been well paced, fun and brimming with adventure, magic, mystery and suspense. The characters have grown so much, seen so much and been through so much and this final book saw them come together to save faerie and each other. It’s been a fantastic urban fantasy series with some fantastic characters and although the ending did seem a little rushed it’s a series I did very much enjoy.

5.0 out of 5 stars So happy with this ending!
Reviewed in the United States on March 10, 2023
Generally, I’m not a huge fan of the last book in a series. Don’t get me wrong; I usually love them, but I think I am secretly and subconsciously angry it’s over. For some reason, I didn’t feel that with this one. Reine has been such a great character through all the books, and she’s definitely come a long way from the beginning. This very nicely wrapped everything up, and I think knowing we’ll get to see more of Reine and Lawrence in spinoff series makes me even happier. This was a great series ender, and I enjoyed every minute of it. Highly recommend. I was provided a complimentary copy which I voluntarily reviewed.
