Juzeva, a princess of Savaru, sworn to the service of the magical Source Azara, sacrifices everything to stop a war, only to find herself caught in a web of evil and deceit woven by the corrupt sorcerer who wants to claim Azara's power for his own.

Sevry, the last king of the war-ravaged land of Savaru, vows to Source Azara that he will find the secret that disappeared with Juzeva, the secret that can restore Savaru and its Sources to life, no matter how many years - or lifetimes - the search may take.

Lucie, a sheltered young noblewoman, is unaware of her true heritage until a stranger claiming to be the legendary king of a long-dead land takes refuge in her father's house and tells her the secret of the power that has been passed down to her.

Torn between her familiar world and the truths her heart can't deny, Lucie must find the courage to join Sevry on his quest to defeat the sorcerer who destroyed his homeland and bring Savaru back to life, a journey that will change her life - and the lost land of Savaru - forever.

About the Author

Kyra Halland has always loved fantasy. She has also always loved a good love story. Years ago, as a new stay-at-home mom, she decided to combine those two loves - like chocolate and peanut butter! - by writing the kinds of romantic fantasy novels she wanted to read. Complicated, honorable heroes; strong, smart, feminine heroines; magic, romance, and adventure; deep emotion mixed with a dash of offbeat humor - all of these make up Kyra Halland's worlds. She loves sharing those worlds with readers and hopes they will enjoy her stories and characters as much as she does. Kyra Halland lives in southern Arizona. She has a very patient husband, two less-patient cats, two young adult sons, a lovely daughter-in-law, and an adorable granddaughter. Besides writing, she enjoys scrapbooking and anime, and she wants to be a crazy cat lady when she grows up. --This text refers to the paperback edition.

Where the heroes and heroines are really brave and the bad guys are pure evil.

Chosen of Azara takes you to another land were there are Sources of power that keep nature in balance and other things as well. Man and his wars are threatening Juzeva's land of Azara, so a marriage to a foreign prince has been arranged to hopefully save her land. However, that plan fails and Azara is destroyed and Juzeva is forced to flee for her life and that of her unborn child. Golus, priests of some very ungodly religion are pursuing her for the crystal container around her neck that has the Source material in it that can bring life back to Azara. Juzeva is a very strong individual and goes to extraordinary lengths to protect her daughter and the Source's gift. This is an epic fantasy story, so it takes place over several generations of characters and even more years, because of the magic of the Sources. In the end, it is Juzeva's great-granddaughter, Lucie, and Juzeva's cousin, Sevry, who fight off the golus and try to bring life back to Azara. They face many dangers and obstacles along the way, but determination and love and the Source's magic all work together for good.

I enjoyed the book and would have given it 5 stars but (spoiler alert) it drug too much through the trip. I do like Kyra Hollands's work though and will be watching for more.

I give it a 3.5 !!!

Reviewed in the United States on September 2, 2013

First and foremost let me begin by stating that I received a free copy of the book from the author in exchange for my honest review. Thank you

Please be warned that my review includes spoilers, read at your own risk.

I really wanted to give this book 5 stars, however my unanswered questions and rushed storyline decreased it to a 3.5. The story is great one even the romantic plot is one that I enjoy what the book lack was detail and information. The story would have benefit from being written into a trilogy. The first book would have been the story of Juzeva and how and why she was the chosen of the Source Azara. In the first book I would have also introduce Sajur Golu and provided of how he went from being a wishful young man to the monster he became. Also explain what being chosen was and why one would die if she or he was not near their power source. I would also provide more details on how Juzeva and her husband became to love each other, and if he did not love her how he had at least grown fond of her. I would have ended the first book at the point when Sajur Golu killed the king and the crown prince. The second book would have been the story of Juzeva and the hardship she faced to protect her child and the sources entrusted to her by Azara. I would also spend sometime explaining her relationship with her new husband and how her child Lilia became to regard her mother as mad woman. The third and final book would have been dedicated to Sevros and Lucie and their story. Provide detail information about how lucie felt during the encounters in the forest where she saw Sevros.

All in all it was a great book, I just wished the author would have provided a bit more detail and background information.

Smart and well-written

Reviewed in the United States on July 29, 2013

I was lucky enough to receive a copy of Chosen Of Azara for review, and I'm happy to report that it was fantastic.

An epic fantasy that doesn't bow down to the conventions of the genre, Chosen is set in a warring land where men in power screw things up for everybody else in their quest for yet more power. That's about the only conventional thing about Kyra Halland's book, which also involves time travel, unexpected POV switches and a truly epic scope.

Things start off with a young princess married off to a man from another land in order to stop a war. Just as you're waiting for a hundred pages in which the woman falls for her betrothed while wondering if he's ever going to love her, something really shocking happens that jerks the narrative off in a really unexpected direction.

That's the main strength of Halland's novel - it keeps you on your toes. Just when you think you've got everything sussed, the plot takes a sharp turn that wrong-foots you completely. While the protagonist swaps are occasionally frustrating, that's only because you've grown to know one character so well that you want to see them through to the end. Luckily, all of the characters in Chosen are engaging and well fleshed-out.

In particular, Chosen contains a number of genuinely strong female characters. While the women in the story are often considered pawns by evil men, they refuse to be pigeon-holed or ordered about. These women are headstrong and unconventional - one of the heroines is a mother, the other is a young woman who's afraid of upsetting societal balance. The commentary on gender play and the unfair balance of power in relationships makes for thoughtful reading.

Chosen of Azara is an epic fantasy with a splash of saccharine-free romance. It's fantastic to find a book this smart and well-written, though readers might be disappointed to discover it's a stand-alone. Considering how rich the world-building is, you'll wish Chosen was the first in a series.

Chosen of Azara

Reviewed in the United States on August 14, 2013

Chosen of Azara is another Kyra Halland masterpiece, a fantasy full of sacrifice and tragedy, greed and magic. Sevry is the perfect hero, committed to fulfill his quest to find his aunt's descendant and reverse the destruction of his land, even as centuries pass and hope grows thin. Lucie at first seems shallow and weak, but once she overcomes her doubts and joins up with Sevry, she loses those qualities and her likability skyrockets. With an unstoppable villain, fabulous plot, vivid scenery, touching characters, and a stellar black moment with a surprising resolution, Chosen of Azara is the full package.
