Book Series Description:
From their windows, balconies, and gardens, the residents of the land of Acre stare north at the ominous black clouds that crawl across their beloved skies, overshadowing their homes. Under the clouds, a darkness has befallen the majestic City of Lynn.
Within the city, a cornered Queen, once true and just, now plays a game of cat and mouse with the races of Acre. Each season, as the Queen fights for control, the ‘Unknowns’ from the North approach. With them comes the stench of evil, fear, and death.
But… there is hope. A lost legend now awakened.
A set of dormant orbs lay in the gnarled hands of an old man. One by one, the dull orbs spark and swirl to life. Somewhere within the City of Lynn, the scroll of equals remains hidden. It’s text, supplied by the gods, awaits the chosen who may one day save the land of Acre.
Or so the legend says.

Review By LAWonder10:
In Valen and the Beasts, Book two of the Acres series, keeps the momentum going. In this book, Chloe still is unsure who she can trust. Hear best friend is under the dark spell of of the mysterious lady, who replaced the girls beloved Miss Petra. Chloe feels she must somehow convince the nearby town mayor of the evil he has bestowed upon the community. But where is he, since the mysterious lady has been chasing Chloe down, nobody has seen the Mayor.
When Chloe determines she is the only one who can solve thos mystery, she s finally able to find an ally and a new friend. Her new friend is paramount to finding others to help. Chloe is forced to trust a few who she deemed enemies.
Will their combined forces be able to save the community and defeat the very powerful, wicked lady, who is steadily gaining control of those she comes in contact with? Will the lady gain control over them?
Where did her beloved Juno go? Did the evil forces end his life?
Desperate, Chloe and everyone she cares about are in mortal danger. This young woman has to make serious choices, ones well advanced beyond her years of experience. She realizes survival often depends on unity between not only like-minded people, but also with the opposition.
The action never ceases. The characters are quite well defined, and one can sense the portrayal of the scenes. The only problems I have with this book and series, are the slightly drown out events that sometimes feel repetitious. Also, the chapters often feel chopped off. They don’t often run smoothly from scene to scene,. The descriptions at times could be a little more in-depth to clearly visualize them. Other than this, it is very imaginative and well-written.
The Titles and Cover images are chosen well and depicts the story highlights.
I offer a Four Stars rating.
*This book was gifted me with no pressure to post a positive review. This is my honest review.
