It is said that when war threatens the world, one individual will be selected by prophecy to lead the Shadow Warriors out of the Land of Mist and reclaim the freedom which has been stolen.
Shanti has grown up under the constant threat of war. Since she helped her people defeat a raiding party by using a special power, she’s been a hunted woman. Carrying rare abilities and an uncanny fighting aptitude, Shanti is the only hope of salvation for her people. The problem is, she doesn’t believe in her own divinity, and when she flounders, she nearly fails in the duty hanging so heavy on her shoulders.
It seems like any other day when Sanders and his band of misfit boys find a foreign woman clinging to life in the wastelands. Oblivious to the weapon they now have in their possession, they are content to harbor the mysterious woman until she is well enough to continue her journey.
But when the war spreads its arms and lands on her borrowed doorstep, Shanti has no choice but to reveal her secrets, plunging her saviors into danger. If they band with her, they will face certain death. But to trade her to Xandre, the warlord desperate to add her to his war machine, would be to give up their entire way of life.

Review Score: Five out of Five Stars.
Surprisingly, I only like two series from K.F. Breene and this is one of them. Her more contemporary story lines just aren't my cup of tea but boy of boy is this one. Chosen has an original storyline that flows beautifully. It's details are rich, it's word building smooth, it's characters likable and multi faceted. Breene also bring to the forefront, a wonderful dash of humor that is mixed in with a sprinkle of romance, and heaps of actions. Cooked at a perfect temperature, Chosen makes for a wonderful series for any fantasy lover Naturally, I've already moved on to the sequel and let's just say it's shaping up to be just as great as book one. I recommend Chosen to anyone and everyone who loves visiting new worlds where the heroine knows her worth and the male knows it too.
This is my first time seeing anything by this author. This book sounds fabulous! Thank you for the great review. I added you and am following through Feedly. I am looking forward to your posts.
