The Elemental Saga: The Complete Collection
(2021)(A book in the Elemental Saga series)
An omnibus of novels by Jessica Ruddick
If you like strong, witty heroines, captivating paranormal worlds, and slow-burn love stories, then you'll love the Elemental Saga. This boxset includes all four books in this award-winning series.
Undefined (Book One)
The truth about her past may define her future.
Sophie loves being an elemental. Being able to bend the natural world to her will is thrilling, even if the need for secrecy is putting a cramp in her dating life. Lately, though, her powers have been growing, making it difficult to resist the heady temptation to use her gifts.
Trying to balance the elemental world with having a normal life is tough enough without her overbearing, way-too-perfect, and way-too-good-looking guardian Aidan watching—and judging—her every move. The trouble is she’s not sure where she fits in and she’s sure as heck not ready to conform to stringent elemental rules.
But when secrets about her life are revealed and outside forces threaten everything Sophie holds dear, she must embrace who she is or risk losing it all.
Untamed (Book Two)
Losing control could mean losing everything.
The Elemental Assembly has suffered a devastating blow, but no one feels it more keenly than Sophie. The authorities' attempts to set things right are going nowhere fast. Lost in his own guilt and grief, her guardian Aidan pushes her away just when they’ve finally given in to the attraction between them.
To prevent the unthinkable, Sophie must take matters into her own hands, which means betraying her family to ask for help from the person who least deserves her trust. Compounding the problem is Sophie’s out-of-control powers that are threatening to consume her.
With everything she loves hanging in the balance, Sophie sets out on a solo mission to reclaim what she lost. The stakes are high, and success is uncertain. The only thing Sophie is sure of is that she’ll never be the same again.
Unleashed (Book Three)
Secrets don’t stay buried forever.
Sophie wants nothing more than for her life to get back to normal. Or a new normal, anyway. But the secrets aren’t done unraveling and the more Sophie learns, the more she realizes that her knowledge only scratches the surface. Even as she continues to delve further into the past, she can't help wondering if the price for her knowledge is too great...
Meanwhile, her estranged mother, Carly, is wreaking havoc, dealing her own form of justice, and her friends Lena and Aidan are wrestling with their own personal demons. Trouble is brewing in the elemental community, pitting the strong against the weak. Everything is going to hell, and Sophie feels powerless to stop it.
But when Carly’s reckless actions fracture the core of the elemental world in a way that it can never be fixed, Sophie must decide who she is and what she stands for.
Unveiled (Book Four)
The truth will set her free…
Now that Sophie no longer has to hide her elemental nature, she should feel free, but she’s never been more trapped. With the world watching them, elementals and non-elementals are divided over how to proceed in this new era, causing strife and resentment at every turn.
When Sophie's mother, the most dangerous elemental, shows up at the worst time—per usual—she delivers news that rocks Sophie’s identity to its core. Elementals aren’t the only ones with special abilities, and the other group has nefarious plans that could give them ultimate power and control...plans that could put the entire world in danger.
Every test Sophie has faced has put her on a collision course with this dangerous faction, but when things become personal, she needs to risk everything to save the people she loves.
