The Watchers #2
Hidden Fire
Auriella’s new life as a royal protector is in shambles. The new king ignores her warnings of a Shadow Legion invasion and he is determined to marry her off. Ghosts from her past, the discovery of other Watchers, and a handsome Scottish warrior throw her off guard and weaken her emotional defenses. Caught in a web of secrecy and betrayal, Auriella struggles to control and protect the devastating power of Starfire. A terrible truth and a fateful choice will lead her to her destiny as the fabled Lady of Neviah, or could shroud the entire world in eternal darkness.
Filled with action, romance, drama, and comedy, Hidden Fire is an addicting read that you won’t want to put down.
The Watchers Series has been described as Braveheart meets Supernatural. The mythology for the series is based on many theological texts from dozens of sects with correlating themes. Ancient writings include the Dead Sea Scrolls, the Traditional Apocrypha, the Pearl of Great Price and the Kabbalah. The Watchers are supernatural beings in human form whose duty it is to protect and guard mankind from the armies of darkness. Unfortunately, as the Book of Enoch mentions, some of these Watchers go bad.
Although the mythology is based on these texts, Deirdra Eden's The Watcher's Series is written in a traditional fairytale style with a young girl's discovery of incredible, but dangerous powers within herself, a cast of humorous side-kicks, a quest for greater self-discovery and purpose, and villains of epic proportions.”
“Deirdra Eden has surpassed her earlier achievement in this daring tale of struggle between good and evil forces that exist in every universe.” Mark F. Cheney, author of MARK OF THE JAGUAR
“Thought provoking and full of action, I didn’t want to put the book down! I really loved the symbolism and it was a fantastic read.” Mary G. – age 15

It is not often that I enjoy the sequel more than the first book, but with Hidden Fire that was exactly what happened. Hidden fire was the perfect sequel to Knight of Light! Auriella is now England's watcher ,however the king of England is a misogynistic ruler that doesn't take her role as a watcher seriously.
I lived in Scotland for a year during an exchange and I was absolutely thrilled when Auriella was sent on a mission to Scottish lands. The story took an absolutely amazing turn when she discovers in Scotland not one but three other watchers. I found myself falling hard for Azrael. The chemistry between these two was sizziling! I also loved the other watchers and baby! Makes me long for a big cat myself.
I was not surprised when a certain important person comes back and I felt from the beginning that something was off and had guesses where it was leading to. I was delighted when I saw this major plot twist unfold like I had predicted. The ending was completely unexpected! I need my hands on book 3 asap!
Thank you to the author for gifting me a copy for review!

Once again I am swept away into the world Deirdra has created. I think I enjoyed this book just as much as the first.
Hidden fire takes place a few years after night of light. Auriella is working away at keeping the people of England safe from the shadow legion. Even though her work is unappreciated and often the joke of the town she keeps her promise as the countries Watcher until she is forced into a mission that changes her whole perspective of what she needs to do to save not only the people of England but the whole human race.
On her travels Auriella meets some new neviahan companions, Orion an earth wielding neviahan, Korban with his ability to wield any weapon and the breath taking Azrael and his loveable but fierce tiger Baby.
Can their combined strength be enough to defeat The terrifying shadow legion leader or will they need something more.
I love the new characters, Deirdra has done another fantastic job at creating characters you will love, some you will hate and some that have been brought back to stir up all sorts of emotions in Auriella.
I received these books to review now I can't wait for the rest of the series!

Auriella continues her fight against Erebus and the shadow legion as the watcher of London under King Edwards rule. Whilst trying to negotiate peace between England and Scotland she meets Azrael and other watchers from Neviah. During this journey she learns more about her true origins. During this book I read one of the best takes on peace which was "Peace is not an end goal you achieve when everything is perfect in the world. It's something you claim when everything is perfect in your heart" . I can't wait for the next book.

This book was absolutely amazing. I thought that I knew what was going to happen pretty near the beginning, but I was pleasantly surprised. And it didn't detract from the story as much as you would have thought. So many wonderful quotes in this book and I can't wait to visit the book again and glean more of them. I loved this book even more than the first.

Continuing Auriella's journey, Deirdra has you feeling like you are right there with her. If I could have picked my ideal adventure/love story, this would be it. I want to go back through and highlight all my favorite lines. If I did, the pages would be a visual rainbow to accompany the words written on the page. Deirdra really creates wonderful characters. Auriella strength leaves me feeling like I could be a warrior with great powers and purpose. Azrael is a smoldering, cocky, and charming Scotsman that you can't help but love. Again, I couldn't put it down and am so excited to read the next book in this epic adventure.

Hidden Fire is the book #2 in The Watchers series by Deirdra Eden.
Auriella is the Watcher for England and is struggling under the new king. He sends her on a mission where she meets other Watchers and learns more about herself.
This is a genre I don’t usually read, but I was completely drawn in and read it in one sitting.
Auriella is a woman who lives in a male dominated world. I like how she holds her ground and proves how strong she is. There is romance, action, and humor. The ending will leave you ready to read the next book.
Think you to the author and Goodreads for the free copy of this book and I am voluntarily leaving a review.

Hidden Fire throws you right into the action. Book two starts off with a bang, and the pace keeps you turning pages until you somehow mysteriously reach the last page much sooner than you thought possible. Aurelia is no stranger to adversity, and she faces each new obstacle with the inner strength that made me fall in love with her in book one. I loved learning more about Aurelia, and where her unique powers come from, (even if those around her don't always believe she is as special as she actually is). A must-read that will leave you ready to dive right into book three!
July 13, 2015
Overall, Hidden Fire was an exciting read with a fully developed plot, a worthy successor to book 1. I had no trouble picking up the thread of the story without feeling dragged down by backstory. Lady Auriella is England’s unappreciated watcher, getting into trouble for causing damage via her fiery battles. This time, the writing pulled me into her head better because others described her rather than breaking her point of view. A nice improvement.
The characters were great. I couldn’t help but love the male Scottish trio and Baby. You’ll just have to meet these guys to realize there’s not much contest between old and new loves except in Auriella’s imagination. That very predictability was my biggest hindrance to complete enjoyment though, especially because I recognized the real bad guy long before the denouement. However, meetings with old friends I loved from book one mostly made up for that.
Of course, as an editor, I notice problems others might not. The repetitive sentence structure often pulled me out of the story. At one point, I even started counting sentences between opening clauses. Yet I think there was more variation than in book 1, and I hope book 3 will continue the trend. Editing was uneven, but compared to fast pacing, this was a minor irritation.
If you like romance mixed with plenty of action and adventure with some mystery, this series is for you. If you dislike incomplete story arcs, this series is for you. Both books went far enough to complete a story, and this one even began the next. The final destination made a great reward in spite of the sad circumstances. The pictures came from the author to me in everlasting color. Bottom line: if you love cinematic books packed with fully developed characters, you have to read this book. 4 of 5 stars. I would have no qualms with tweens reading. I received a free copy in exchange for an honest review.

January 22, 2016This is the second book of the series The watchers from author Dierdra Eden. This is a semi short book at a little over 200 pages on my reader. Currently it is available in e-book and paperback.
This book is written much like the first book. It does a great job of keeping your interest through out the story. The story adds a few new characters to the story line. For the most part they are not developed well, barely enough to understand their purpose. The development of Auriella further expands in this second book, still leaving some things to be found out in the continuing series.
The book could be read as a stand alone but it would leave many unanswered questions about the plot. It is a much better read if you read the first book of the series. This book is geared more for teens and young adults. Although I do not fit in the teen or young adult age group I did enjoy the book and think it is a good continuation of the series. I look forward to the next part of the story.
If you are looking for a good series of books to read from fanstasy, sci-fi genre this is one series you should consider reading. I would like to thank Netherfield Publishing and affiliates for sending me this book to read and share my opinion.

I didn't get a chance to read book one yet, but after the wonderful adventure in book two, I'm definitely going to correct this. Still, even without book one, I had no trouble diving into Auriella's story. Auriella is a great character, a strong girl who's stuck in a time and class where women were supposed to be anything but amazing warriors.
It was easy to get involved in her troubles and understand why she felt the way she did about things. She's not always sure of herself, but it's exactly this doubt which makes her so enjoyable to cheer for--because she is amazing.
The plot itself moved along, not leaving any moments where I wanted to put the book down. The main character faces tons of dangers, must fulfill seemingly impossible tasks, and, of course, if she fails, it will ruin all of mankind. There were enough twists and turns to keep me turning the pages, and even when some outcomes weren't a total surprise, I enjoyed seeing where the story went. Plus, there's a nice level of tension, especially in the romantic end.
Summed up, this was a fun and exciting read which meets all the criteria an adventure should. I can only recommend it to YA Fantasy/Paranormal fans and can't wait to dive into the rest of the series.

*No Spoilers**
Our knighted Auriella is now in charge of protecting England from the Shadow Legion. The story starts off with a battle between Auriella and a Shadow Lord right from the start and the excitement continues till the last page. The second book of The Watcher's series is fast paced and really fills in many of the gaps from the first book and our heroine learns more about herself, powers, and where she is from. She discovers more of her powers with the help form a very interesting person that leads to a blossoming romance.
The first person narration is from Auriella's pov and she is such a complex character that takes you through the journey in a fun and exciting way. The book is very well edited and Deirdra Eden has such a way with details and descriptions that you really become immersed in the story. Plus she has added really wonderful characters that add so much depth to the story line and really keeps you wondering what will happen to our heroine next. This series is exciting and a wonderful collaboration of fantasy, adventure, with a touch of historic realism that keeps you on the edge of your seat till the last page and leaves you just wanting more! I cannot wait for book 3, since I could not put my Kindle down and finished so fast. lol

This is the second book I have read in the Watchers series, and definitely my favourite. It has been six years since we were first introduced to Aurellia, an orphan with brilliant powers and secrets even unbeknown to her. She has come a long way in that time, and has now been given the job by the King to protect England against attacks by the Shadow Legion. She is ridiculed for her position, as she "will never attract a husband wearing a sword". She is sent on a mission to kill the King of Scotland and is hurtled into a journey of danger from enemies of her past. She discovers a new power, and a kindred spirt in Azrael, a fighting partner from her past, who provides a worthy love interest. Aurellia is a strong character who shows much courage, and is dedicated to ending the war of light against darkness. Along the way, secrets are revealed, much blood is shed, and Aurellia is forced to choose between an old face from her past, and the man she meets while on her quest.
I found the narrative entertaining, and skewed towards an older audience than the first book, with more fight scenes and romance. I would definitely be interested in reading the next book in the series as Aurellia's life is never dull!

This book had me even more engaged than the first. The second book was geared a little more for adults even though the heroine is a 19 year old. It was hard for me to put the book down once I started reading it.
Auriella is still fighting the Shadow Lords who are after her blood and ultimately her power. Not only is she discovering more about herself, she is trying to gain acknowledgement and respect shown mainly to men. She is still working through the loss of her fiance years prior and has no desire to open herself up to suiters.
Even through all of the action, threats, tension and drama, there are still many moments of humor throughout the story. I was continuously intrigued as I followed Auriella discover that she was capable of an even greater power by merging her energy and power with a complimentary set of powers found in one of her own people.
I read one reviewers comment about how predictable the story was. I didn't find that to be the case at all. I predicted one thing, but the unfolding of that event was still action-packed and exciting. The ending tells me there's another book in the works and I can't wait!it

I received a free copy of this novel in exchange for my honest review.
Hidden Fire is book two of The Watchers series. In this portion we see Lady Auriella as London's Watcher. Even though King Edward sees her as a fragile woman, she works tirelessly at keeping the castle safe from the Shadow Legion.
King Edward sends Auriella on a mission to Scotland, against her better judgment she leaves. Along the way she meets three Nevian rebels. One wields the gift of nature, one the gift of weapons and the other the gift of air and his trusted companion, a giant tiger named Baby. During their journey this unlikely group bond like no other. Will they be able to save London from the Shadow King? Will Auriella's broken heart ever mend?
Usually sequels aren't as good as the first novel, but surprisingly this one is. Deirdra Eden draws you into this extremely imaginative and amazing world; one that captures your attention and leaves you wanting more. Auriella has become like an old friend and one I can't wait to visit again. Overall, Hidden Fire is a wonderful young adult novel that teaches perseverance through overwhelming trials.

At 19, Lady Auriella is the Watcher of England and she's beginning to feel like a miserable failure. The newly-crowned King Edward doesn't believe in the Shadows and publicly mocks her position whilst trying to find her a suitable husband. Her world falls further apart when she's sent to assassinate the King of Scotland.
Her journey is fraught with danger - not just from the Shadow Legions and ghosts from the past, but from the strange Watchers she meets on the road and the one handsome Scottish Watcher who keeps trying to steal her heart and her hand.
Hidden Fire is a fascinating read - for younger readers. Personally, I felt that it lacked a little bit of polish and refinement which would have made it a better story. As it was some of the plot "twists" were pretty much predictable. It makes light reading for older teens and adults who are trying to be young.

I received a free digital copy of this book for the purposes of an honest review.
The minute I received this ebook, I was reading, and I spent the entire day on my Kindle. My family could all see to leave me alone, ha ha!
In the first book, I felt like some things were a bit scattered, but I assumed that was a little bit of the author setting the stage. That was not an issue at all with book 2, and I loved every minute of it! In fact, I am anxiously waiting to get my hands on book 3. :)
One of my favorite things about this book 2 are the new characters that are introduced. I really loved getting to know them and following Auriella's journey. If you enjoy an imaginative journey with plenty of good vs. evil, I think you'll like the story!

Well, I am glad I gave this series another change. I was not a fan of book 1 but book 2 was definitely better!
I felt that this book was still predictable and did not flow as well as it could, but the characters were better developed and the book was more engaging. I am definitely intrigued to see how the rest of the story goes.
Now that we are gaining more background information on the main character, I feel that I can connect with her better and that I am able to engage better with the book.
Still room for improvement but I am definitely happier with this book.

In this book Auriella has grown up and is now a royal protector from the shadow legions invasions. She also is learning how to use another newfound power called starfire. I found from the time I started reading it, it was very difficult to put down! I really enjoyed the suspense, action and the unfolding love story. I feel it is a great book for teenagers and adults looking to escape reality for a little while :-). The end leaves you wondering and wanting more, looking forward to the next book in the series.

This second book in The Watchers series was very good, but also quite predictable. Usually when I am able to predict what is going to happen early on, I lose interest. This was certainly not the case for this one. I loved the writing and, though I was pretty sure I knew what the end result would be (and turned out to be dead-on), I was able to completely enjoy the journey. That rarely happens for me, so I was pleased with the book. I still want to read more of the series, as it comes out, so it is definitely on my recommend list!

This book is a fantastic follow-up to the first. The writing is flushed out a lot more and Eden's ability to enthrall with her writing style and use of visual wording makes for an excellent read and a unique story. I hope to read many more of her books in the future. This got me back in the habit of just curling up with a good book instead of browsing TV shows.
Highly recommended.

This a great continuation of the story of Auriella who is now a royal protector from the shadow legion. Book two has lots of twists and turns in store for you to read about. Their was times of humor mixed with times of danger and excitement i was wrapped up in the story from the first page right up to the end.

When I didn't think it could get any better, this one beat the awesomeness of the first book. I admit it made me a bad mother, I had to keep reading and my kids watched way to much T.V. I loved it, the romance, the suspense and the epic battles were super fantastic! Deirdra I can''t wait for book #3!

I was so engrossed in this story and it took me only 4 days to read both books! I love the fact that the protagonist is a female and a relatable one at that! Definitely looking forward to a third installment! Great job, Deirdra Eden!
