The Unseen: A Novella of the Elder Races (The Chronicles of Rhyacia Book 1) Kindle Edition

From New York Times bestselling author Thea Harrison comes the first of two explosive new stories set in the Elder Races world…. Dragos and Pia are back by popular vote!

***THIS STORY ENDS IN A CLIFFHANGER***

Saying goodbye to their old life in the Wyr demesne in New York may be hard, but Dragos and Pia are determined to create a new life in the Other land of Rhyacia.

At first, everything seems idyllic. Rhyacia is paradisiacal. Accompanied by old friends and new allies, the future looks safe and bright for Dragos, Pia, and baby Niall.

But strange things are happening beneath the picturesque façade. Items move unaccompanied, buildings collapse without justifiable cause, and even the most Powerful residents of Rhyacia can provide no logical explanation for the events transpiring. Whispered rumors point to something called the unseen.

As Dragos and Pia investigate, they uncover a greater mystery than they could have imagined, and they realize the startling truth…

They’re not alone in Rhyacia. The land Dragos had thought was uninhabited hides many secrets, a shocking history that’s not quite ready to be buried, and something more.

Something ancient, evil, and hungry. Something that wants to consume Dragos and take everything he holds dear.

Something that just may be powerful enough to overcome the dragon…

***This is book 1 in a series of 2 connected novellas. The first book ends in a cliffhanger.***

5.0 out of 5 stars More Pia and Dragos!
Reviewed in the United States on July 20, 2020

FINAL DECISION: I'm so glad that Harrison decided to continue Dragos and Pia's story. They are such compelling characters that I can read about their adventures any day. This novella introduces a new challenge for the couple as they leave New York and move to a new realm. It ends on quite a cliffhanger, and I want to know what happens next.

THE STORY: Dragos and Pia are sad to leave New York but anticipate starting a new, better world in the land of Rhyacia. Moving to a new land is complicated and while some friends are traveling with them, some things and people must be left behind. Arriving in Rhyacia, however, is even more complicated as there is something mysterious going on.

OPINION: This novella was great. Or more accurately, this first part of the story was great. In rating the story, I kept a half star because the story is not complete, and I have been burned by serialized stories before.

What I loved about this story: (1) Dragos and Pia: their interaction was as vibrant and interesting as ever. Dragos' ancient attitudes and Pia's thoroughly modern self. Their connection is still palpable and I loved seeing them deal with their relationship. Pia has matured and I loved how Dragos supports her in this story. (2) Stinkpot aka Dragos' and Pia's youngest son: is just adorable. (3) Appearances by other Elder Races characters: Other couples make appearances and have their own issues to be resolved. (4) Action: The book has a great hook by the end. I just want to read what is next.

What I didn't love: That I have to wait to find out more of the story.

WORTH MENTIONING: This novella is part of a serialized story and this part ends on a cliffhanger.

CONNECTED BOOKS: THE UNSEEN is the book 9.9 in the Elder Races series. It is part one of a four-part serialized story. The book follows Dragos and Pia as they build a new life away from New York. The story here is self-contained, but the characters appear in the Elder Races series and therefore it is better read in order.

STAR RATING: I give this book 4.5 stars.

NOTE: I received an eARC from the author. I was not required to write a review or to write a positive review. All opinions contained herein are my own.

So a warning for those who do not know. This is part 1 of what is going to be a 4 novella set. That's important because there is a cliffhanger at the end of this one. And I have to say the cliffhanger could have been A LOT worse than it was. It was acceptable one if such things exist. :) With that said, this book was a great addition to this series. I have always loved this series and getting to dive back into this world again is always a blast. Especially when we follow Pia and Dragos. This book is about the two of them making their move to Rhyacia. And there are a ton of fun surprises and appearances by beloved characters as they make this change. I loved seeing so many of the characters from the series pop up. Always the best part to me when everyone is all together. And like I said, there are a ton of surprises! So the main point of this book is their move. They are about to leave and cue some unexpected revelations, but then they actually make it to Rhyacia. Just in time to run in to some trouble. It looks like the land wasn't empty like they originally thought. When things are being moved without anyone seeing who is doing it, these unknown creatures are dubbed the unseen. And it looks like Pia can sense them. With the urge to protect her baby at all costs, Dragos and Pia investigate. But things take a sour turn and a big plot twist comes at the end of the story that changes everything. And of course no spoilers here, so i can't say much. But let's just say things just got a lot more complicated. Great, great start to this 4 book set and I cannot wait for the next part!

5.0 out of 5 stars Holy Cliffhanger! Amazeballs!

I went into this book with some questions. Why was it called The Unseen? Who or what were The Unseen? Was it something like the creatures on Carling’s private island? Were they invisible people?

At least half of the book was spent on getting ready for and then transporting to Rhyacia, Drago’s‘s new Other World. It’s only once we get there that you get a hint of what the unseen might be, and you’re not even sure if the hint is legitimate. Confusing? LOL!

As always it was a fantastic read and I loved reconnecting with Dragos and Pia, Graydon & Beluviel, and the other characters we’ve come to grow & love, with a totally unexpected surprise appearance from one of my favorites!

Odd things are happening in Rhyacia, and Pia seems to have an ability to sense “more” than others have with the oddities. When she & Dragos are inspecting the site of an accident, the book kicks into fast forward! I must’ve re-read the last chapter 10 times to make sure I didn’t miss a single word or nuance! Ms. Harrison warns us this book ends in a cliffhanger, & it does in style! It’s so abrupt, but so perfect, and I can’t wait for the next book, The Adversary. We caught an earlier glimpse in the book of Pia’s strength & backbone, & the coolheadedness and decisiveness she displays at the end when dealing with the crisis are impeccable. If you go into this knowing there’s a cliffhanger you will not be disappointed. I love it, I can’t wait to see how the story unfolds!

It's been a while since I read the Elder Races series, but I fell right back into their world from the first line. This story brings our beloved faves to a different place altogether, and a whole new set of problems. It ends on a serious cliffhanger, so be prepared to commit to the next installment too!

3.0 out of 5 stars Themes feel repetitive
Reviewed in Germany on August 3, 2020

I stumbled over this novella by accident. I love Pia and Drago's and all of the characters of Elder Races.
However I really wished Pia could catch a break. How much does she have to endure untill she can live a happily ever after? How can Dragos be powerful but so easily "simply fail" again. (Wrong wording but didn't want any spoilers)
Still this novella feels repetive or rather some themes are taken from other novels and novellas. Two couples from the elder Races end on a cliffhanger and yes, I want to know more at the same time I don't. I fear there will be more and more and that those characters I have come to love dearly are just exploited.
Be merciful and end it.

This is novella1 out of 4 ... (2,99€ for 94 pages?!) for Each will end in a cliffhanger or rather more. For now 2 stars. I wish I hadn't read it now but when all came out.

I love the world of the Elder Races but Dragos, Pia, Liam and Niall will always have a special place in my heart. It’s been a treat being able to see the family grow in these short stories which the Author kindly keeps producing for her faithful readers. In this ——— the first of four books being released monthly——- Dragos and Pia are moving into one of the uninhabited Otherlands located not far from their current home, the move is going to be permanent and one of the main reasons for them going is to protect Niall ——- their new son ——— Ashe has inherited his mother’s wyr animal. If his animal form was to become known Niall would be in grave danger as is was thought his (and Pia’s) animal had been hunted to extinction. The Otherland they have settled on —— along with twenty thousand others——- is supposed to be uninhabited but on arrival Dragos is told of several instances where things have gone missing only to turn up in different places and a construction site keeps collapsing for no apparent reason. It appears their new home may not be as deserted as they thought, the question is do whoever it is doing these things mean them harm.

This is set 2 months after the Vegas kidnapping. Most of the crew get a mention and there are a few surprises. It's a definite cliffhanger so if you're not keen on cliffhangers wait for all 4 to be released. I couldn't wait- I devour anything Thea writes as soon as its out and I'm never disappointed!

Firstly...you CAN read this book as the start of a series of novellas. But I have to say, if you start reading this and like it, I would strongly advise you to read the others in the series of Elder races books, as you will enjoy this even more if you are catching up with them here. Thea Harrison has built a wonderful world with the Elder races and it is a delight to visit here again and see how our favourite characters are doing. Yes there is a cliff-hanger at the end, which normally would annoy me, but in context...Thea has done this series in response to the gloom and doom going on in the world and is writing these out as fast as she can to cheer up readers, so in this case it's to get the story out there, rather than hold onto it until it's a full novel, which I fully support. As to the story itself- it has great humour, fantasy and characters to entertain you. Great plot so far, A heroine to root for and I can't wait to see what happens next..!
