I enjoyed the description of the world that Marisa MacCallum found herself in, and I truly adored Darian and Arrie who she first met upon arriving in Carnelian. Which is regrettable because it was such an interesting take on living in a world with multiple dimensions. I desperately wanted this book to hook me, but I kept facing too many issues that prevented me from enjoying The Carnelian Legacy. When Savino falls for her charms and demands her hand in exchange for peace, Marisa is faced with an impossible choice: marry the enemy of the man she loves or betray them both and become the catalyst for a bloody war. But once she learns that he is locked into an arranged marriage, her heart shatters. Along the way, she starts to see Darian's softer side and finds herself falling in love.

Stranded in a world teeming with monsters, maniacs and medieval knights, Marisa is forced to join Darian on a dangerous mission to negotiate peace with his cousin and archenemy, Savino da Rocha.

She seeks comfort on her daily ride through the woods of Gold Hill, but when a mysterious lightning storm strikes, she is hurled into the ancient, alternate dimension of Carnelia where she is discovered by the arrogant but attractive nobleman, Ambassador Darian Fiore. The problem is-he’s in another dimension.Īfter the death of her father, eighteen-year-old Marisa's life is on the verge of imploding. Marisa MacCallum always believed that the man of her dreams was out there somewhere.
