Much to their dismay, they find themselves in a reality torn apart. The draechen emperor, Shtamakarein Tersain, rules the world with an iron fist, but he doesn't realize his mate is the man he considers his worst foe, Sari. His brother Hareematek hunts the nearly extinct werewolves, not knowing that his other half is among them. The entire world--paranormal and human--is at war. Phoenix now faces the hardest decision of all--having to choose between the life of his mate and that of countless others. And when his powers disappear, the situation grows even more hopeless. Will love be enough to fix the broken bonds? Can the world be reborn from the ashes, or will it collapse into ruins of a mutated history? NOTE!

Holy. Shit.
***Series Review***
So, I am sitting here one day in between books and I think to myself, “I wanna read some fluff. Some shifter fluff. Yeah, with mpreg!”. I search around for a bit until I come across Scarlet Hyacinth. Now, I’ve already read her entire Mate or Meal series so I know what I’m in for. I decide to check out her other works. I see Werewolf’s Way and think, “why not?”. I settle down for a nice, light, fluffy afternoon read.
Boy, was I wrong!
This series was an epic, and I do mean EPIC, story. I should have known. I mean, the cover of each book clearly states “Epic Romance” but I didn’t pay it any attention. I just wanted my fluff. Yes, it had shifters. Yes, it had mpreg and matings and claimings and all the stuff I was looking for. But that’s not all I got. I also got action and adventure and intrigue. I got a mystery with convoluted plot lines. I got the whole gamut of emotions. I got stories within stories within stories. And let me just tell you; there was not a single plot hole anywhere to be found. I was not prepared to be sucked into this series like I was. As soon as I finished one book I was immediately purchasing the next (at full price no less). I hungered for these books.
In the first book, Werewolf’s Way, we meet Caelyn, a sprite and Graham, his werewolf mate. Theirs is a forbidden love and we see their flight to freedom. Do they make it? Do they stay together or are they ripped apart by the evil Draechen?
The second book, Draechen’s Mate is about Prince Karien of the Draechen (dragons) and his arranged marriage to Prince Sari of the fae. In this book we get to see that the Draechen may not be so evil after all. Well, at least some of them aren’t.
The third book, Warrior’s Dream, is about Kael and Tali. They are the stuff of legends and we finally get to learn all about the Great Sacrifice. You have to pay attention with this one because it is the reason behind the entire story arc.
Book four, Naga’s Concubine, introduces us to Lieutenant Sage of the Draechen and Prince Camden of the Naga. Here we learn more about the ins and outs of the Shifter Directive and why it needs to be abolished.
Book five, Emperor’s Consort, is about Hareem and Taryn. This story plays a pivotal role in the overall arc. This is also one of my favorites. Taryn will always hold a special place in my heart.
In book six, Fire’s Embrace, we get to experience the love between Alwyn and Rachen. We also get to experience one of the most tender and passionate love scenes I have ever read. I thought my heart would burst from reading it. This book also ends on a MAJOR cliffhanger.
Each of these stories was closely interwoven with the others. All of the main characters and most of the secondary ones are in every book. The plot is intricate and full of red herrings. It kept my attention throughout.
But wait! What about the seventh and final book?
Book seven, From the Ashes, took every storyline in all the previous books, stuffed them in a jar, shook them up and dumped them on their heads. At first I didn’t know my up from down, my right from left, my backward from forward. Everything I learned was gone; all the truths were now lies. I felt a pang of loss so great that it was a physical thing. I grieved for these characters and what they were put through. I still haven’t completely recovered from this book.
Overall, this series was beautifully written. Scarlet Hyacinth has a way of describing scenes to where you can’t help but feel like you’re there in the story even if there’s no way it could be real. Her words when expressing how a character feels are almost like poetry. My heartstrings were not just tugged - they were yanked on. You can really tell a great deal of thought was put into this series. It was so detailed, so intricate and absolutely nothing was left out.
So, while I may not have gotten what I was originally searching for I am delighted at what I discovered. If you like shifters, claimings and matings, you should check out this series. If you like fantasy with fae and magic, you should check out this series. If you like an epic story filled with action and intrigue and mystery, you need to read this series. If you like paranormal romance, read this. I certainly will read this again and again. Just make sure you set aside enough time to read the whole thing because, seriously, it will suck you in and not let go until the end.

And so we have reached the seventh and final book of the Chronicles of the Shifter Directive. It is a tale wrought with anger, in a reality torn apart, when the very fabric of time was ripped to pieces by the anguish of a Phoenix unwilling to let go of his mate, Rachen, who had sacrificed his great sacrifice to save the world from the Dark Terror.
For those who read the series, we were left in confusion as to what was going on in Fire's Embrace (Chronicles of the Shifter Directive, #6). We saw Phoenix's magic tearing the very fabric of time and reality in an effort to hold on to his beloved mate. We saw that his magic was astoundingly powerful and were happy Rachen was still with us. But were we going to be happy with the resulting chaos?
At the very beginning of this book, we see the author's note that clued us into what we readers were going to expect. From the Ashes is the alternate reality, thus all the characters we learned to love would be in their alteregos - some remain as those we loved when we read them, most we see a persona we could not love no matter what. This is Scarlet Hyacinth's alternate reality, her 'what if.'
As all things go, we readers are treated with a 'what if' that should be satisfying and better, at least that is our fantasy. Instead, we get a total shift of events and the familiar were there, yet they were unfamiliar. It is difficult and very hard to accept. There are goings ons here that just boggles the mind. It can take a lot out of a fan to accept this book for this was not what we were gearing for at all. This is the world that the phoenix belongs, something so powerful and utterly dangerous. The question readers will ask is: how will reality get back to the reality we love? This is the tale that the author has mixed up and it is both astounding and desperate all at once.
Well, there was a way out and for those who read the books in order and paid attention, they would have caught on to it. I have read this series over and over backwards and foreward and I still almost missed it - but gladly through my tears - I had an epiphany and a desperate book turned into something wonderful. I found the way out and reading through this, it was confirmed. Thing is, will that way out cause more heartache?
To make a long and convoluted story short and sweet: yes it did. The author promised us tears, she promised us more action, and she promised us an HEA. We do get all these, but at a price. Will that price be the cause of this last book to be my least favorite? Turns out it was not, for there was yet another clue way back in the third book that I kept recalling and I held on to that memory knowing that I would get the proper HEAs I so love. I did get it, in the middle of all my blubbering and sniffling and blowing of the nose. Yeah, I did. Oh so lovely....
From the Ashes marks the last of the Chronicles of the Shifter Directive. It also marks the beginning of a new reality that the characters have learned to appreciate even more. It also marks their firm determination to hold on to their loved ones and be resolute in their task to make their new world a better place where all shifter castes are no longer under the yoke of an anarchous directive.
Personal Note: I have to thank the author for giving us this wonderful fantasy of a tale. This is one chronicle I will never forget and it has a place of honor on my All Time Fantasy Favorites shelf where the rest of my favorite fantasy authors sit. Scarlet Hyacinth raised the bar for MM fantasy genre and it is going to be hard to find another tale as wonderful as this. In all my years reading the fantasy genre (35+ years give and take a few) I have only met six authors of this calibre, she is one of them. It was an adventure reading it.

If I could I'd give this more than 5 Stars ~
"What if the Directive hadn't been created? Would the world have been better, freer? Would cooperation between the paranormal species have spawned naturally? Or had the Directive been an alternative for something even worse?"
Oh wow...I can hardly believe I'm at the final book. And I have to admit that I read the blurb before I read the book. Sometimes that's good, and sometimes it isn't. This time it was good. For you see, I'm not a big fan of the whole alternate reality when it's messing up a world I already love. Don't get me wrong, I love an entire book/series based on fantasy and alternate reality, but in 'From the Ashes', Scarlet Hyacinth took my world and jumbled it all up, so the people who were supposed to be together weren't, and I was holding my breath through the reading, waiting until everything got straightened out again.
If you've done what I strongly recommended, then you've read this series in order. So you know that at the end of the previous book, the Ancient Horror tried to steal and use all of Phoenix's powers, which are considerable. Rachen managed to trap the Ancient Horror inside himself and then Rachen died. I know, right? It was agony. Phoenix in his grief did something using earth's energy, and all of a sudden Rachen was alive next to him, the draechen guards were confusing Rachen with his twin, Karein, and then Karein showed up with Caelyn? What? No. No. No. No. I won't stand for it, I said. So, you can imagine my trepidation when I opened up this book.
In this crazy, mixed-up world, the Great Sacrifice never happened, the Directive doesn't exist, Karein is emperor, Caelyn is his consort, Hareem is general for the draechen troops, werewolves apparently no longer exist, Karein has been at war with the sprites, and Sari, his mother and father, are Karein's greatest enemies and on the run. Plus, a whole lot more. Now do you understand my upset? Every page I turned I was waiting for it to be put back to rights, for Phoenix to figure out what he did and fix it. I'm telling you, it was a nail biter. Yikes. Especially since these new incarnations of my favorite characters could sense something missing, something just out of reach...oh, it was frustrating. If you're thinking I'm going to tell you...think again.
I have been consistently impressed with the author's writing throughout this series and this final book is no exception. In fact, I'm stunned by the intricacies of the story and how she brought all the pieces together in one seamless, flowing manner. The author could've taken the predictable and easy route, but she didn't. She definitely didn't. Instead what I got was this finale with bits and pieces of each reality woven together into a tapestry that, literally, knocked me off of my feet. I cried through more than one moment and it was heartbreaking, but it was also cleansing, much like Phoenix's fire. As a devoted reader of paranormal stories, particularly shifters and magical creatures, I can honestly say that this is one of the best series I've ever read. Read it. You won't regret it.

Due to outside forces (work) I was not able to read this more consistently so I hope this doesn’t affect my thought processes on reviewing this.
Starting with where we left off in the previous book… Oh my how on earth will this get fixed! While it appears that all the main characters are still in play, the circumstances are greatly different, making for lots of tension and distrust. This did lose my attention a bit. Felt like going back to the beginning almost and just rewriting the plot badly.. hahah that I assume was the point in a way but I did have to push through the first couple of chapters.
Accepting some minor and major differences within this new world, we see mates getting together again, via strange familiar feeling dreams acting like a guide. While working towards the goal of fixing that which is broken we end up with some main characters dying, we just can NOT have this so this needs to be reversed! The suspense is definitely back to full throttle for me by this point!
What happens next is unbelievable! More shocking deaths follow preceding the pleas of a mate that understand something precious would be lost in their bond if these actions were allowed to stand. In a last supreme effort, Phoenix finally finds the power to fix what was sundered. Again.. you think this is the end of the story but not just yet. What else is left? Well, the mates deal with lingering effects from other reality even if they don’t quite grasp it and the guilty parties behind the Ancient Horror need to be dealt with.
So, everyone is restored, the Directive is changed but not abolished and we get a glimpse into the future of this world and what may be ahead. If we do indeed get to visit it again as Ms Crafty Hyacinth intends, it should be an exciting journey to forge the future into a better place. Awesome finale to a humongous roller coaster ride.
The End.

Wow, what a way to end a series. In the begining I just remember sayin, no not Jude, not Jude. Toward the end I cried due to the whole twist of fate. As the old saying goes be greatful for what you have and be careful what you wish for.

The cliffhanger from book 6 had me anxious to see what kind of world Phoenix and Rachen ended up in so this was definitely an interesting way to end the series. In this new reality, the characters we've grown so fond of were reintroduced to us one by one as they interacted with each other for the first time. Since many of their circumstances were now completely different, I was curious to see how much of the characters' personalities had changed and was pleased to see that they basically remained true to form. It was exciting to go on the journey with them as they each moved closer to that moment when they would finally meet their mates again. Even in this reality they had been dreaming of each other and felt the pull of their mate bonds. So imagine my surprise when I'm just toodling along, waiting for them to reconnect and get their happy endings and then BAM! When the first traumatic event occurred, I was like are you kidding me?? This can't be what it looks like. How are they going to fix this? Then it became clear that things were going downhill and fast in that reality. Especially with Phoenix (and I must say what he did shocked me). I don't want to give away any major spoilers so I'm just going to say that for me the resolution was satisfactory and for the most part things were wrapped up nicely. Even if certain people did get off way too easily IMO. I mean really. Let's all blame the Ancient Horror for our behavior. Did they conveniently forget that he wouldn't have been able to influence them all so easily if they hadn't already had certain thoughts/opinions in their heads for him to work with in the first place? I guess vengeance is not mine :( And as much as I loved each and every couple in this series, having back to back to back sex scenes was a bit of overkill (which is basically what the last two chapters were). But all in all this was still a fantastic series and I sure hope we get to see these guys again :)

3.5 Stars
This book picks up from the cliff hanger in book 6. Welcome to - what I call - the Shifter Directive "Un-Real" World. The upside-downness had my head spinning at times and, basically, I didn't get it. Everything is skewed because in the Un-Real World, the Great Sacrifice never happened. So ... things are a mess. I didn't much care for the exploration of this what if. It wasn't bad per se, it just didn't blow my dress up. On the positive side, I liked the ultimate resolutions once everything was back in order.
Bottom line: I didn't care for the Un-Real World but I loved this series, nonetheless.

OMG! Just WoW! So sad to see it come to an end. I love the characters, the world, their stories. I love that this was more than just a fluffy light read. Truly epic! This has become one of my favorite series. Thank you Ms. Hyacinth!
May 26, 2017
Was hoping this would be the book to make the whole series a standout. When you get to the moment where it should be awesome instead you get multiple sex scenes in a row and it just kind of fizzles out with and ending that seems overly open ended.

I'm so TORN over how to rate this book! Because (and I hate to say this, but…) I hated like 85% of it!
I get that the whole "what if" idea is an interesting one to play with, to see how different characters are if one thing didn't happen. But, it also felt like a waste reading it since they weren't the characters we had fallen in love with over the course of 6 epic stories. And *those* are the characters I want to read about. And all I wanted was for everyone to be happy at the end of all of this after everything they had been through! And even though things were happy, they were also kinda all bittersweet at the end of things because they all knew what had happened. ARGGG.
Also? it seems like this has been left open to more to come, like a second series. Babies need to be born! Is Scarlet Hyacinth even writing anymore? I used to read a TON of things from her, but I don't think she's released a single thing this year.
Anyway, if you want some epic fantasy/paranormal dragon/werewolf/fae romance with some mpreg/magic/matings/you name it, I say to give this series a try. Once you get to know who's who and all these confusing long names haha you'll be good to go!

I hate 80% of this book for taking my heart and squashing it like a ripe tomato.
Why 4 stars if I hate it?
Well, it's really an EPIC book. And my masochist side loved it.
But my heart will never recover from all the happiness that my beloved characters lost.
Cruel book.

Awful ending to an otherwise good series. I felt like I was betrayed and cheated out of receiving any closure. I honestly could not like Phoenix , basically I hated him!!. Very bad plot Ms. Hyacinth, ruined a great series for me.

I'm going to sum up the whole series here. Wow.
I've always come to expect Scarlet's work to be predictable. But this series is by far her best, and she has out done herself. I'm very impressed from the characters, to the plot, to the detail, to the ending. Wow.

What just happened? And a "wet cavern" sounds like something created out of a particularly enthusiastic fisting session.
And how come all the partners are these willowy things that all get pregnant? They're all men btw, but they all get pregnant. With no real explanation as to how.
