A dragon without a hoard
Dragon shifter Kezari gave up everything to stop the poison she’d sensed on Earth. Though welcomed by the Moranaian elves, she struggles to find her place in a land with different customs and expectations. Her situation only gets worse after she’s assigned to deliver healing potions with the annoying mind healer Tynan. How is she supposed to work with a man when she can’t decide whether to push him away or kiss him?
A mind healer on the brink
After a mishap in his youth, Tynan trained hard to hone his gifts of mind healing and empathy, but working at Braelyn is his greatest challenge. Between traumas and mystery plagues, his temporary assignment stretches from days to weeks. But his biggest problem? Kezari, the dragon shifter he’s certain is his soulbonded. Her nearness strains his control over his empathy—and he knows far too well that losing his grip on his gift means catastrophe.
A struggle between worlds
Kezari and Tynan must learn to work together quickly. Trouble is stirring with the dragons, and when a meeting with the ancient dragon Caeregas reveals the extent of the problem, Kezari feels honor bound to solve it. Too bad working with the mind healer might be her only chance at victory.
The series
The Return of the Elves series invites readers into a world where magic pulses beneath the surface of reality, and the past is never truly gone.

Read full series description
At the heart of the series is Arlyn, a young woman who discovers that her true heritage lies within the mystical realm of Moranaia, where elves and other magical beings dwell. Her journey to this otherworldly land is more than just a passage through realms—it's a chance for Arlyn to uncover her own identity and unlock powers she never knew she possessed. But with newfound abilities come dangerous responsibilities, and Arlyn soon finds herself entangled in a centuries-old struggle for power, as alliances shift and old enemies return.
The series doesn’t just revolve around Arlyn, however; it weaves a rich tapestry of interconnected characters, each with their own motivations, strengths, and flaws. From the stoic warrior Kai to the prophetic prince Ralan, these individuals are more than mere players in the narrative—they are the living embodiment of the world’s deep-rooted conflicts. Through them, Bethany Adams explores themes of loyalty, identity, and the delicate balance between light and dark.
What sets Return of the Elves apart is its intricate world-building and its ability to blend high fantasy with relatable human emotions. The sweeping landscapes of Moranaia, with its ancient forests and ethereal cities, are as much a character in the story as the elves and humans who inhabit them. Adams' prose immerses readers in this world, where every setting feels vivid, and every encounter pulses with the weight of the past.
At its core, Return of the Elves is about more than just magic and adventure—it's about the choices we make in the face of uncertainty, and the ways in which we define our place in a world that is constantly changing. For readers who long for a fantasy series that combines romance, intrigue, and deep emotional resonance, Return of the Elves offers a journey that will stay with them long after the final page is turned.
