Awakened by Magic: A sweet, historical fantasy romance (The Four Kings Book 1) Kindle Edition

3.9 out of 5 stars 82 ratings

Kyann turned her back on magic when her mage father left his family to die. But she must accept her power if she's to save her sister.

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?

Awakened by Magic is the first story in a sweet, slow-burn fantasy romance series. Grab your copy and escape into a gorgeous fantasy world filled with powerful magic, mythical creatures and deadly danger.

Katy Haye is the USA Today best-selling author of queer-adjacent Young Adult fiction (gay best friends and lesbian mentor-figures abound - check out the Firethorn Kingdoms books), and adult fantasy with queer characters front and centre (the Prince's Soulmate series, with more to follow). She lives in the UK where she leans into the Brit stereotype by drinking gallons of tea, and the writer stereotype by letting a solid 50% of the tea go cold.

When not lost in a good book, Katy enjoys her garden and spoiling her two rescue cats.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Kyann and Four Kings
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 18, 2023
    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
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 18, 2018
    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.
