Awakened by Magic: A sweet, historical fantasy romance (The Four Kings Book 1) Kindle Edition
Kyann lost everything eight years ago: her parents, her home, and her magic. The one thing she has left is her sister, Essa. So when the Emperor abducts Essa, Kyann will do whatever it takes to get her back, even if that means waking four legendary kings who haven't been seen in five centuries.
Together, they can defeat the Emperor and save Essa, but only if Kyann can find the strength to embrace the magical destiny she once rejected. Will Kyann accept her fate to save her sister and the kingdom itself, or will she reject her power and lose everything for a second time?

- Reviewed in the United States on October 1, 2018Fast paced short story, as an introduction to The Four Kings series. I recommend reading this story before book one to get a glimpse of the characters involved in the series. It also gets a good handle on world building without being tedious. Good read and a nice taste of the flavor of this series.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 14, 2020When her younger sister is taken by the Emperor for possessing magic, her sister must search her out and at the same time find her own lost magic.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 10, 2019Very good book. I was amazed how fast I read it. I really liked the bond of the sisters. And the twists and turns of this book. Nice job.
Happy reading everyone
- Reviewed in the United States on October 4, 2018I am looking forward to the next book now that she gets to meet the Kings. The MC is slowly growing on me so I hope that she continues to improve as a character.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 26, 2018Actual rating: 4.5 stars
I stumbled across this book and found the blurb interesting so I decided to give it a try. It was surprisingly good! A fantasy story complete with a headstrong heroine, an evil emperor, and a quest to awaken four handsome kings to help them save the day. The only drawback is the cliffhanger ending.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 26, 2018Short with a cliffhanger . Story never fully developed hate books like this. Not going to continue . Too bad
- Reviewed in the United States on May 5, 2019this was a great book can't wait for the next one to find out about the kings

5.0 out of 5 stars Kyann and Four Kings
Loved these six books. They might be short, novella sized, but they are packed with adventure and danger. It's not till the sixth book that romance becomes a strong part of the story, but even here there's betrayal and kidnapping. I loved these books so much in fact after finishing them for the first time, I went back and read them all again.
I've love Katy Haye's work since reading the Fire Thorn series, which starts with Dragon Thief.

5.0 out of 5 stars Enchanting series for fantasy fans
When I saw the description "Sweet, reverse harem" I was like, wait ... what???
But it totally works. Ms Haye lures us into the magical world with sassy sisters fleeing their home and I felt the same thrill as when I met Katniss and Prim for the first time. But I quickly forgot them as their tale unfolded and the author skilfully built the world around them without me even noticing - I was much too caught up with my new favourite heroine. I never thought I’d get over reaching the end of the Clockwork War series, but Kyann is like a different facet of my beloved Clara. And already two more in the pipeline! Boxes Ticked.
One of Ms Haye’s biggest talents is making you care for her characters within a line or two, and she sure has fun with Kyann, giving her four yummy kings to protect. Yep you read that right - SHE protects THEM. Even though they can control the elements. Truly Scrumptuous.
