The Iron Locket: A Faery Hunter Romance (The Risen King Book 1) Kindle Edition

She was raised to hunt faeries. He was raised from the dead.

***

Aiofe Callaghan comes from a long line of faery hunters. Hired by one of the faery queens, they protect the human world from chaos and destruction. But when Aiofe stumbles through an open door into the land of Faery, she discovers the job isn't as simple as it seems, and neither is she.

Arthur Pendragon spent centuries in blissful nothingness, until the day the four queens banded together to raise him from the dead. Along with his twelve most talented knights, he leads the warring armies of Faery against the greatest enemy they have ever known: one of their own.

Can they overcome their differences to confront the greatest challenges either of them have ever faced?

"The reader is drawn in immediately and will be screaming in frustration when they reach the final pages and realize it ends in a cliff hanger! The Iron Locket is worth the quick read and should top any to-read stack that involves Arthur." - InD'tale Magazine

Review

"The Iron Locket is a wonderful mix between the legend of King Arthur and the fantasy of the land of faeries. The author does a nice job of combining the two into a seamless story of adventure and romance. I can't wait to red the next installment and see what happens between Arthur and Aiofe." - Marjorie, The Cheap Ebook

This is my first read from Warren, but it definitely won't be my last. This book was epic and full of amazing action scenes. -Diana, Offbeat Vagabond

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Samantha Warren is a fantasy and science fiction author who spends her days immersed in dragons, spaceships, and vampires. In the name of research, she enlisted the help of her pet dragon Anethesis and together they built a ark-like spaceship. Three trips through a hole in the time-space continuum allowed the pair to explore the universe decades into the past and eons into the future. They discovered how life would be without Earth and were forced to run from alien law enforcement when their ship was deemed unspaceworthy. In the long run, the constant space repairs cut into Samantha's sock fetish fund, so she sold her ark for half-price to a slimy creature that made Jabba the Hutt look like Brad Pitt.

After her years of traveling, she returned to her roots. When she isn't writing or reading, she is milking cows or trying to feed them Pop-Tarts and FiberOne bars (they like neither). She also spends her spare time collecting zombie gnomes, drinking lattes at the Village Cafe, or watching any show featuring Gordon Ramsay. Anethesis remains by her side, sleeping away the day and hunting evil cat-eating coyotes by night.

5.0 out of 5 stars Really Good Read
Reviewed in the United States on December 14, 2013

I really like this mix of faery and King Arthur. The books is interesting and keeps your attention and you can not help but turn the page wanting to what happens next. I can't wait for the next chapter to find out what happens with Aoife, Arthur, and let's not forget that Guinevere now enters the picture. What is going to happen between Lancelot and Arthur with her in the picture. So what I want to know is when is the next book coming? Can't wait.

I feel that the author was hurried to get this finished. It is an outline of an incredible story. It has action, a possible love connection or two. Well worth the read but I am hoping she fleshes out the rest of the story. Subject and content great for 12 and up. Good for girls and guys.

5.0 out of 5 stars King Arthur and so much more

I am not a fantasy genre reader. But I read this book and absolutely loved it. It melted the read/human world with the fairae world. I cannot wait for the second installment in this series. The book grabbed me from the very beginning and I was driven to read and read to finish - but then I was disappointed that it was over. I highly recommend this book

3.0 out of 5 stars More like 3. 5 if it were possible

More like 3.5 if it were possible, enjoyed it very much but there were quite a few distracting errors that editing should have caught. Would have also liked to have seen more characterization of the knights, altho that may come in later books; the human characters, and most of the main faery, were pretty well done.

4.0 out of 5 stars Took a little to get there... but fun book.
Reviewed in the United States on April 25, 2013
Let me start off by staying I absolutely love the cover of The Iron Locket. I love the fact that it's green, that Aiofe is there beautiful and strong, and that there's a knight. Overall it's a stunning cover. It definitely drew me in. Also, I absolutely love the concept of anything related to faerie and faerie worlds, so that sucked me in as well. I have to admit it took me some time to get into the story but when it started to pick up, for me it was one exciting adventure.

So I'm kind of ashamed to admit, when I first met Kane I completely was hoping for a Kane + Aiofe shippage. But, alas if you read the book you will laugh at me big time for that. However that being said, I really loved Kane's character. He was actually my favorite. His blonde hair and bright blue eyes, plus he has the whole brooding betrayer bad boy going for him. Really loved his character and hope to see more of him in the future.

Aiofe was only part of the lead characters. The other being Arthur and we meet Arthur first. This is the part that wasn't clicking for me. I'm not sure if it was that I never really got into historical things (like the knights of the round table) or if it was just the story hadn't picked up enough pace for me yet. Also for some reason I kept picture Arthur as some old, scruffy king... not sure why. That being said, when we meet Aiofe everything started to quickly pick up for me. Aiofe is beautiful and strong. I love her strength and her fight. With the romance, there was definitely an instant spark with Arthur and Aiofe and I do like them together. However, I felt there was no build up or development in their relationship. It all seemed very rushed, yet I did like the sexy chemistry of them.

Moving on, the writing in the story is done very well and I commend Samantha for weaving the two worlds together so well. Plus her idea of raising knights from the dead was super creative, I really liked it. I will admit though, as I said when I talked about Arthur, I had a hard time getting into this one. For some reason the beginning I guess wasn't what I expected? It took me about half way through the book to really get into it and want to keep flipping the pages. Now remember, that is just my opinion... Everyone's is different! That being said the last about 30% of the book was absolutely awesome. Lots of action, secrets, sacrifices and the epilogue was a killer! It definitely made me want the second book ASAP! Because, with an ending like that all that pops in my head is "heartbreak"!

A wonderful twist of King Arthur, loved it with the plot, evil witch, four fairy Queens. Can't wait to get the next book. Samantha Warren has taken a wonderful different direction with what we know about King Arthur and that he would have a better ending with his true love and still have his knights

1.0 out of 5 stars insta-love, snowstorm and too many loose ends
Reviewed in the United States on July 31, 2015

I wanted to like this one, because of the King Arthur plus fairies things....it sounded intriguing! However, the reality was that the first HALF of the book was extremely slow (where nothing of import happened). Also, Arthur and Aiofe (what kind of name is that anyway!) Fall desperately in love in less than 24 hours and there wasn't even a love story to go with it...... they literally gaze into each other's eyes once and are making out (really!).

Even though that was free on Amazon, I'm ticked off that I spent the time reading (or in this case, skimming) it at all! Don't waste your time! 😢😬😤
