The gods may think they have won…but I won’t be forgotten.


Thrown into Gods Chará, a land with no magic and no end, Daesyn has to escape and get back to the world that has been forced to forget her.


With a little help from an unexpected goddess and a flash from the past, Daesyn is going for the Otherworld throne her mother once ran from.



The world might have forgotten who Daesyn is, but real love can’t be so easily erased.

War is here, four worlds are fighting, and Daesyn is nothing more than a thief.


Can a thief change the world?

Forgotten and unforgiven

A good book, I would have liked a bit more action. The few fights in the book are pretty rushed. Another thing I do like is Daesyn getting dome help. As much as I like an underdog story, when the odds and power are so stacked against someone, as much as I wish them to win, I have to say this is impossible.

Daesyn is banished and forgotten. She can't die but living alone in a frozen realm, constantly freezing to death only to be brought back to do it again. However, she has one ally left and a slim chance to get her mates to remember her. Is the bond between them stronger than the rune magic? All of this and there is still a final test for Poppy and the Unseelie people to free.

Everyone will be pushed to their limits, and sides must be chosen. A war is coming. This is the final setup to the final book.

Seems rushed. The way the others got their memory came off as unimportant with how quick and simple it turned out to be.
Then the sex to me seemed like, ok-let's-get-it-over-with type of feeling bec those scenes were inserted in the middle of chaos lol

Crumbling barriers and pelted perimeters strengthen as limitations are enhanced and tested, attentive to the soaring ups and agonizing downs breathtaking in it's simplicity and beautiful in it's depth, blasting this hot little number to life spectacularly. Bailey spins this masterpiece with such creativity and aplomb, showcasing every essence, nuance and sentiment, weaving a cocoon around you so securely and precise, luring you deeper into this tangled web until nothing else exists, mindful of the challenging trials and thrilling tribulations, while cognizant of the dramatic twists and wicked turns unfolding, exhibiting the devious quirks and defying bents, wrapping this jewel up sleek, shiny and tight.

Fabulous job Bailey, thanks for sharing this awesome little gem with us.

This series keeps getting more and more interesting.

First things first, this book is slower than previous books. It still has some action but this book is kind of setting up for the next book. This book had a lot of moving pieces and not a lot of reveals (again I think this book is more about setting the stage than a continuation of the plotline) but I do have a lot of questions! Most of them will no doubt be answered in the next book.

What I always love about the ‘wiped memory’ books is that every story is a little different and every character reacts differently. I loved how this played out. It kept the mystery alive, the competition of who would remember Daesyn first, and what would happen after. Again, some questions/anticipations about this part but I’m sure will be answered in the next book.

I think that the next book will be AMAZING and a major turning point. I was not disappointed in this book and can’t wait for the next one. I even read it twice before writing my review because I wanted to truly take in this book!

Overall: 4.5/5

Banished and forgotten, our heroine is struggling to reclaim her place and her loves.

This is book three of the series. It is a spin off/sequel of another series, but it is not necessary to have read the other one to enjoy this one.

This is a paranormal reverse harem story. I found the story to be well written, easy to read and very engaging. The story moves along at a good pace with plenty of intrigue and action, all of which drew me in at the beginning and kept me flipping pages right up to the end. I also really liked our heroine who is both tough and smart. It was fun watching her try to navigate through the mire she found herself in. Overall, a very enjoyable read and I look forward to the next book.

Highly recommended.

I received this free eARC novel from the author. This is my honest review.

Dae is such a strong, tough, empowering woman and I love her so much! She never gives up and she's determined to make everything right, no matter the cost.

This book flew by so fast and had now left me wanting more, per G. Bailey's normal way of entrapping me into her stories.

I still love Seth the most, and Ryker second, but her men are also fighters and they are so possessive! It's hard not to love them all!

I'm very excited for the next installment already, and I'm really glad I got the chance to read this book!

I really enjoyed this addition from G. Baily in this epic series! This story really gets us ready for what is to come next...you just know that book four is going to ramp up the action and we are going to get those answers that we have been waiting for! Dae is a fantastic FMC..she is strong and capable and I loved reading her interactions with the guys throughout this book. Yes this is a slightly slower paced book but this series needed it, it is really setting the scene for what will come next and has you ready to continue reading from this magical universe that the very talented G. Baily has created! Cannot wait to read more.

What?!? Argh! This book sucked me in and I got to the ending like wait what?!? That's it?? We come to the frozen and magicless prison Dae is trapped in. But a goddess comes to her rescue. She comes back from her imprisonment where no one remembers her. Because the King used the Forgotten Rune against her. She must help Poppy win but also save her people and get her guys to remember her. That was hard when they couldn't remember her and she just had to act like it didn't bother her. So excited to get my hands on the next book!

So many great and terrible things happen in The Forgotten Rune. This starts off where Daesyn was left, all alone and forgotten by the world, fight for her continued survival. Yes, she has the cursed rune still and can't technically die, but it doesn't do much besides keep bringing her back when all she has been attacked throughout all the books. To not spoil anything, I will just say that this was a fun read and really moved the story alone. It was action packed with all the romance and feels with it.

From forgotten to fighting

This book was a journey for Daesyn. From being banished and forgotten in an ice realm, to getting back home and finding her mates once again and actually reuniting with them to preparing for the fight of her life, it’s been a tough few weeks. I don’t even know how she’s still standing upright. But she is tough and determined and has a purpose. I can’t wait to see what the final book has to offer.

After the last book Dae gets banished to the God Realm and the forgotten rune used on her. No one remembers who she is. She has simply been forgotten. With some much needed help from a Goddess she is able to leave the realm. Her next journey will be tough, as her 4 mates don’t remember her, but she needs to save she people from being used as slaves no matter the consequences to her.

This was an amazing read. I am loving this series. Each new book brings us closer to finding out what the runes are and how they play into everything. I look forward to the next book. I can't wait to see how the fight goes down for both kingdoms and how Dae and Poppy restore peace to both worlds.

A great addition to the series. I was excited to see how her being forgotten would play out and it was definitely an interesting turn of events. I wish we got to see more interactions between her and the guys during this time, but nonetheless what we did get was great. Each book brings new history surrounding Dae’s circumstances to light while keeping us wanting more.

I wont lie, this book started a little slow for me. But once I was in, I was hooked. The plot is perfectly twisted to keep the reader entertained, with characters you cant help but love, or love to hate should it be the case. The world building was very well crafted. It was just an all around good book!

So Daesyn makes a connection with Aphrodite to get back to her world but as the seelie king promised everyone has forgotten her. Finn was able to help everyone remember her and they create a plan to take down the king.

So that's it in a nutshell without giving away all of the details of their plans and shenanigans. This was ok, slightly repetitious at times but I still really enjoyed it.

Sped through this one. So much going on! Daesyn has to get back to her guys and friends. Action is fast paced and the story has lots of highs and lows. She still manages to work in some steamy time with some of the guys. Ending is a cliffhanger!
