ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date March 23, 2021

Evil is coming.

A dark malevolence the likes of which this world has never seen, and it comes straight from the depths of Hell. Darkness meant to destroy. A prophecy I am fated to fulfill but will most likely not survive.

Through it all, Carrick Byrne has stood strong by my side. Something has deeply changed between me and the man I once despised, and all it took was a kiss of provocation for both of us to feel it. I know deep in my soul we’re being guided by destiny, but I don’t know if I can trust it. Carrick is holding something back, and I fear the consequences could be deadly once his truth is revealed.

We’re not ready, but calamity waits for no woman. I have discovered a power within myself I must learn to master. A new connection in the Underworld has been revealed to me, one that I hope is friend but is just as likely foe. We are in a race against time as we try to figure out how to stop the end of the world from occurring. The battle is coming, and I can only hope we’re prepared for what happens next.

REVIEW:THE EVOLUTION OF FAE AND GODS is the third instalment in Sawyer Bennett’s contemporary, adult CHRONICLES OF THE STONE VEIL paranormal/urban fantasy series focusing on twenty-eight year old Finley Porter, and Carrick Byrne. THE EVOLUTION OF FAE AND GODS should not be read as a stand alone as it picks up immediately after the events and cliff hanger of book two A DISCOVERY OF SECRETS AND FATES.

SOME BACKGROUND: All of her life Finley Porter has been treated for hallucinations but days before her twenty-eighth birthday Finley is pulled into a world of the Light and Dark Fae by a man who stirs something deep within our story line heroine. An end of the world prophecy declares our heroine the savior, and in this Finley struggles with her fated destiny. As the gods watch the prophecy play out, some take it upon themselves to interfere where they do not belong.

Told from first person perspective (Finley) and third person (Carrick Byrne) THE EVOLUTION OF FAE AND GODS picks up immediately after the events and cliff hanger of book two wherein Finley’s life continues to implode. With her business in ruins, and the person responsible has set their sights on ruling the world, Finley, along with Carrick Byrne must work together in preparation to take down the Dark Fae determined to destroy them all. When Carrick goes in search of answers and information, Finley, and her friends, work behind the scenes scouring the ancient tomes for some hint of things to come. As Finley’s power continue to grow, her ability to connect with the Underworld reveals the possibility of someone once lost, found again.

THE EVOLUTION OF FAE AND GODS is a fast paced, intricately detailed and revealing story line. We learn about the connection between Carrick and Finley, and Carrick’s decision to walk away; some history of the Fae, changelings, angels and daemons, as well as The Fallen. Finley Porter continues to be a little TSTL (too stupid to live) in that she refuses to remain in the relative safety of Carrick’s home, a home where angels, demi-gods and daemons are at her service. Sawyer Bennett pulls the reader into an intricate and twisted story line about a fight for power and control; a tale of manipulation and magic, tragedy and loss. The premise is strong and haunting; the characters are animated and powerful; the sexual chemistry is sizzling and hot; the romance is seductive and passionate. THE EVOLUTION OF FAE AND GODS ends on a cliff hanger-you have been warned.

Since the release of her debut contemporary romance novel, Off Sides, in January 2013, Sawyer Bennett has released more than 30 books and has been featured on both the USA Today and New York Times bestseller lists on multiple occasions.

A reformed trial lawyer from North Carolina, Sawyer uses real life experience to create relatable, sexy stories that appeal to a wide array of readers. From new adult to erotic contemporary romance, Sawyer writes something for just about everyone.

Sawyer likes her Bloody Marys strong, her martinis dirty, and her heroes a combination of the two. When not bringing fictional romance to life, Sawyer is a chauffeur, stylist, chef, maid, and personal assistant to a very active toddler, as well as full-time servant to two adorably naughty dogs. She believes in the good of others, and that a bad day can be cured with a great work-out, cake, or a combination of the two.
