Readers’ Favorite Bronze and IAN Book Award Finalist
A woman on the run. A mysterious magical heritage. Can she uncover the truth before the elf king takes her head?
Raised in a realm where humans are no better than slaves, Rie has struggled for decades to earn a meager post in the High Court messenger service. Even training as an elite fighter isn’t enough to earn the respect she craves. Scorned by the high elves who rely on her loyalty, Rie’s closest allies are the fierce carnivorous pixies who travel by her side.
When she’s attacked on a routine delivery by assassins from the enemy Shadow Realm, Rie’s martial prowess keeps her alive…and frames her as a traitor. Facing execution at the hand of an unmerciful king, Rie must forsake her oaths and flee into enemy lands to prove her innocence. The secrets she uncovers may threaten more than her honor or even her life…for war is looming in the nine faerie realms.
Sanyare: The Last Descendant is the first book in The Sanyare Chronicles, a fast-paced dark fantasy adventure. If you like kick-butt heroines and action-packed fantasy filled with mythological creatures, then you’ll love the first novel in Megan Haskell’s debut series.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Very interesting take on fae perspective. I don't think I have seen vampire, and dark fae as a joined people. Vampires usually eat fae so....I liked this book for the difference in the storyline.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Spoiler free review with book info: mc female, white? Straight, 109 years old, depicted as being around 22-24. World: the nine realms w fae courts and modern day earth. Spice level 0.5/5, angst level 2.5/5. I hesitate to use the term instalove but I wouldn’t disagree if someone else said it. Somewhat of a love triangle. I can’t think of any content/trigger warnings that would be necessary, I give this a pg-15, primarily because of violence and curse words.
this is the first book in a chronicle, of which I have read the second as well. If there were more available at this time I would continue to listen but I’m not searching to see if any more are available elsewhere if that is enough to show my feelings on it. - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5***This book was reviewed for Readers' Favourite.***Sanyare: The Last Descendant, by Megan Haskell, is a bright, refreshing read. Haskell has opened the door to some rather unique fae realms, and introduced us to beings such as the blood sidhe, who share many characteristics with vampires, but they are vibrant, living beings rather than undead ones. Rie is a human changeling, serving in the messenger corps of the Upper Realm’s High Court. She is accompanied by a posse of tiny, yet lethal, pixies, who are both friends and guards. Due to a series of unfortunate events, and hidden ploys, Rie ends up on the run, framed as a traitor.In an effort to clear her name, Rie finds herself in the forbidden Shadow Realm. Here ‘help’ finds her, in the form of Braegan, a blood sidhe, and Daenor, a prince of the Shadow Court. In the Shadow Realm, Rie finds a bit more than bargained for, including information about her ancestry.Haskell has done a marvellous job of bringing scenes to life. I found myself quickly immersed in the story, as if there with Rie, Braegan, and Daenor. Exquisite detail to setting added to the immersion, making for a wonderful experience. I particularly liked that you get to meet all kinds of fae, from the pixies, to gremlins, to fire elves, and more. I am looking forward to reading more in this series.Haskell’s Sanyare is a great read, full of unexpected turns, and complicated relationships. If you enjoy the forays into the realms of D & D, and the Forgotten Realms, á la Wiess/Hickman and RA Salvatore, you are sure to find this to your liking.
