Synopsis (Goodreads):
Saying goodbye to their old life in the Wyr demesne in New York may be hard, but Dragos and Pia are determined to create a new life in the Other land of Rhyacia.Thoughts on The Unseen: I'm ridiculously in love with the world of the Elder Races, so getting to dive back into a story that brings Pia and Dragos front and center again is FANTASTIC. Their romance (and their individual growth from the early books) has been a cornerstone of my infatuation with the Wyr (and all the Elder Races, actually) and I am over the moon we get to see the next step in their plans for the future.
At first, everything seems idyllic. Rhyacia is paradisiacal. Accompanied by old friends and new allies, the future looks safe and bright for Dragos, Pia, and baby Niall.
But strange things are happening beneath the picturesque façade. Items move unaccompanied, buildings collapse without justifiable cause, and even the most Powerful residents of Rhyacia can provide no logical explanation for the events transpiring. Whispered rumors point to something called the unseen.
As Dragos and Pia investigate, they uncover a greater mystery than they could have imagined, and they realize the startling truth…
They’re not alone in Rhyacia. The land Dragos had thought was uninhabited hides many secrets, a shocking history that’s not quite ready to be buried, and something more.
Something ancient, evil, and hungry. Something that wants to consume Dragos and take everything he holds dear.
Something that just may be powerful enough to overcome the dragon…
FYI, I'm generally not a fan of cliffhangers, but I had no issues with where this piece of the story left off. (As the first part of a four-part arc, yes, this end on a cliffy. It worked, though. It worked nicely. Maybe because I knew this was only the first act, my expectation was that there would be plenty left unresolved. I don't know. For whatever reason, I wasn't bothered.)
Anyway. Pia and Dragos. And their gloriously stabby baby. And more than a few familiar faces. I do love those familiar faces. Starting their journey to settle Rhyacia is stressful in a lot of ways, but it ultimately looks to be the best course of action for them and a lot of the different Elder Races. Finding out that things might not be as they seem (and the eventual fallout from THAT) complicates things.
That said, if there's one thing Pia and Dragos are good at it's handling complicated issues. It's going to be a bumpy ride for them, sure, but I have every belief they'll figure things out. Eventually. Hopefully without too much collateral damage.
A touch of danger, a reunion of familiar faces, a wild new world to settle, and a relationship that can weather most anything. My heart eyes are strong and I am SO ready for part 2.
