The Awakening of Magic: Prequel (sort of) Fated Fantasies Kindle Edition

4.6 out of 5 stars 53 ratings

Did you ever wonder how the Array came into existence?
Let's take a step back in time...

This can be read as a standalone.

Harvey is a 'yes man' through and through, but is finally pushed too far by an arrogant parent. A split-second decision sends Harvey in search of the sea. What he finds is something far more magical than just a beautiful ocean view.

Tiberius is going stir-crazy. His decade-long guard duty is almost at an end when he is struck with a loneliness that fills him to his core. An unexpected visitor to his secluded clifftop changes his life in an instant. With a family as stubborn as his, maybe it's time for him to branch out on his own...

Can a sweet hedgehog put his faith in a dragon? And will a stubborn dragon have what it takes to go against his clan?

This book was adapted from a short story written for Stormy Glenn's ManLove Fantasies - originally a 6k short, it has been expanded into a full-length book.

This is a MM Romance featuring intimate scenes between two consenting adult males, Mpreg, and magic.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Hi, I'm Holly, and I live in a small beach town in New Zealand. I juggle many hats, mum, wife, nurse, business owner, and author, but in truth, I love nothing more than to curl up with a good book and escape the washing pile (that never ends). Aside from books, I also love coffee, yoga, and houseplants.

I write sweet, sassy, suspenseful stories with a touch of magic and a dash of mystery. I like to tell stories about sexy men who don’t look well-suited on the surface but throw fate into the mix, and things get interesting.

    What a truly MAGNIFICENT MAGICAL tale this is to behold. HOLLY OLIVER has given me back the joy of magical beings. Tiberius is a Dragon shifter. He is the youngest most magical of his family. Harvey is a Hedgehog shifter. Musically gifted, but an only child with dreams. This beautiful book opened my heart to the dreams of make believe and magic in the Books I choose. This Book is enchanting, spectacular and full of yearning to do better. To break free of the invisible chains that hold us back and open our minds to endless possibilities. At least, that's the hope it gave to me. It's up to me to chase the dreamscape of life. If you can't tell I loved this Book, I'm here to say I did. BRAVO!!! HOLLY OLIVER! BRAVO!!! I HIGHLY, HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK AND THIS AUTHOR!!!!!!!!!!

    Omg. I thought this story was loaded with cuteness 😍. There's no other way of describing it. It is a very creative and engaging story that I was fully immersed in it. It is romantic, humorous at times, sizzling and definitely convincing that anything can happen in a fantasy world. To me, this author wrote with her heart and soul. She convinced me about possibilities.

    I am a sucker for dragon stories. I haven’t read any of the rest of the related books but this one was so sweet and full of love. It was a very unique tale and I am intrigued as to what it is the prequel for. I will have to go look them up. I loved the characters and can’t sit to see where it all goes.

    I read this book after the first two "Fated Fantasies Dating Service" books. And it is just as the author titled it - "sort of" a prequel. While not exactly specified, this book takes place multiple generations before the fated fantasies series. It is the origin story of The Array, which ultimately comes about as a result of the meeting of fated mates Tiberius and Harvey. A story full of fate and magic, at it's core is the sweetest love story I've read in awhile. Found family, and definitely an awakening of magic, which I won't spoil here. Plenty of steamy times, and this "prequel" really does a great job of giving us a history to keep in mind when reading the series set in present times. It can absolutely be read as a standalone, or in any order with the others. Five stars!

    The Awakening of Magic

    “We are partners, Harvey, equal in all things, especially in the bedroom.” “That’s going to take some getting used to,” Harvey mumbled. “What, having a partner?” “Being someone’s equal. I’ve never…” Tiberius’s lips crushed against Harvey’s, and he was momentarily unable to think, speak, or finish his train of thought. All Harvey could focus on was the cinnamon sweet of Tiberius’s lips and the heat that radiated off his body. “

    “You are more than my equal, you are my sole reason for being. I will move the moon, take over the clan, and prove to you every day that I draw breath, that you are my one and only, and worthy of every goodness the universe holds.”

    There is so much happening in Holly Oliver’s The Awakening of Magic. we begin with the downtrodden Harvey, who is singular in his ways of being, letting others control most of what is happening in his, and his hedgehog shifter’s, life.

    When he is drawn to the sea, he finally breaks through his apathy and finds his dragon mate, who himself struggles with the politics of his clan.

    Together they are able to overcome many obstacles, while also heralding change that affects his family of dragon and the shifters that they hold dear.

    This is a fantastical and colorful tale of finally finding where you belong, and it is a precursor to Oliver’s Fated Fantasy seres.

    5.0 out of 5 stars How the Array came into existence
    Reviewed in Germany on October 19, 2022
    Absolute amazing book. Started it and couldn't stop reading it even if I didn't want it to end because of the wonderful magical world the book pulled me in. So so so good. It tells us how the Array of Hedgehogs came into existence. It starts with a cute hedgehog and a fierce dragon who together start changing the life for Tiberius' dragon clan. With Harvey by his side, they overcome all the adversity that comes their way. Sweet love story and very interesting to see read before the other books in this series.
    Highly recommended like all books by Holly Oliver.
