Summary from Goodreads:
Princess Sarita has everything. Loving parents, a
castle fit for royalty, fine clothes, loyal friends, and an exciting job as a
scholar of magic. At eighteen years of age, one might think that she would be
content with her position. But one thing has always been missing from her
life... full magic, itself.
When a strange old woman gave Sarita a secret
spellbook as a child, her entire life was changed. The book contains spells,
songs, and stories. But most of all, it provides a path to gaining full magic,
the only thing that Sarita still needs to feel complete. And now, she has
finally prepared to leave her home in search of the Stones of the Divine, the
final ingredient she needs to gain magic.
Gabrielle has been known as the sister of a
knight and best friend of the princess for as long as she can remember. Now an
experienced healer's assistant, she is desperate to find her place and purpose
in Junacave. An adventurous mission to help Sarita locate a mystical stone may
be just the change in her life that she is looking for.
King Cassidy is still alone, but not for a lack
of trying. His attempts to convince the Princess of Junacave to marry him over
the past ten years have been for naught. And being twenty years old, with no
heir, he is running out of time. If he can't win the heart of the princess, he
may have to face a future without the love of his life.
Adventure, romance, and magic await as we travel
through Everealm with royalty, wizards, fairies, and more, in the
fantasy-romance Songs of Everealm, a five book series by J.D. Wright, author of
the Everealm Series.
Note: Adult Content
Songs of Everealm Series is the second series set

Man, oh man, oh man, oh man! Reading about Sarita and Cassidy, Oliver and Gabrielle(Gabby), Asher, Jolene and all the "younger" characters from the other Everealm series was awesome! Getting to see where they are eight years after Dynasty has made me more fond of them.
Sarita is in love with magic. She helps Dagan teach the younger, magical, children. She wants magic, and she is prepared to find a way to have it, fully. If she is to succeed, she has to leave without anyone knowing. But she is not intending to go alone, because she knows Gabby will be up for the adventure.
Gabby, dear Gabby. We are thrust into her engagement with a young man by the name of Garrison. He reflects Gabby's brother, Reeve, in terms of feeling the necessity of reprimanding Gabby's actions and trying to change who she is. Yes, people change, but not this excessively. Poor Oliver is still in love with her, yet he, too, is courting another. Calista has had a bad experience with fairies, so you can imagine what that might be like.
Typically, when it comes to Everealm, you know there is to be major love-making scenes. However, they were more behind closed doors. There is still reason to say this contains adult content, but I will keep my mouth shut on that. This adventure takes so many crazy turns; its thrilling and exciting, at times infuriating. And everything possibly in between. Someone learns about his or her destiny, and that his or her destiny is not to be alone. Fate will have her way.
I saw the author's dream cast for the characters before reading the book, so I totally see each of the characters the same way. When Cassidy or Oliver was speaking, it was easy to see their faces. If you are curious to know the author's dream cast, CLICK HERE. Fair warning: I call dibs on Cassidy. *WINKS* Okay, not really, but Cassidy, Oliver and Asher are my favorites. Garrison is up there too, though I was very shocked to learn who he was in Gabrielle's life. I read most of my favorite Cassidy moments to my younger brother, because he kind of reminds me of him. We were laughing so hard together.
I did, in fact, read the second book as well. But this post would take months to finish if I were to share that here too! LOL Expect a separate review post soon!

About the Author
Writing has always been a hobby of mine, beginning as a young child. It was a way to cope with losing my father at seven years of age. I started with poetry and was featured several times on the amazing poetry blog, Autumn Leaves, by Sondra Ball. My love for poetry soon led to writing songs in middle school and beyond, which I still do occasionally. Music has always been an important part of my existence, so writing songs came naturally to me. In high school, I started my own novel, however, life got in the way and I never finished it.

Music has always been an important part of my existence, so writing songs came naturally to me. In high school, I started my own novel, however, life got in the way and I never finished it.
Fast forward many years later and I find myself married with three
children, absorbed in my busy life with commitments to my family, work, school,
church, and charities, among other things. One day I came across my old binder,
with notes from my first novel, and it was with those notes that I conjured up
the elusive Everealm.
I write to please readers such as myself, who have a love for
fantasy and romance, but like a little danger and sex in their reading. I wrote
the book with a mature audience in mind, who can appreciate a hearty imaginary
world with magic and the unknown, but want more than fluffy love stories with
wizards in them. They want the romance, magic, and danger, all wrapped into
one.
