Publisher's summary

Serena has a bright future etched in stone. Tristan has a dark past that haunts him. Together, they have a love that can never be.

Sheltered, and unable to escape her bloodline, Serena St. Michael has spent the last two years training at the Royal Protector Academy. Struggling with a dark past, Tristan Gallagher's current assignment is to protect a lifetime of secrets. One chance encounter will change everything. Serena must decide if she will follow her heart, forsaking all she's ever known and risking a future worse than non-existence. Tristan will break every rule to save Serena, even if he can't keep her. In their world of darkness, one love will ignite an ancient war. When pasts collide with the present and secrets are revealed, will love be enough? Or will one lie destroy it all? When you've hidden behind a mask for so long, would you reveal yourself for love?

Vernal is the first novel in The Royal Protector Academy series. A dangerously exciting and darkly romantic tale that will take your breath away. It can be heard as a standalone trilogy, or after the best-selling Revelation Series. Intended for mature listeners 18+ due to language, mild violence, and sexual situations.

The male narrator, jezz just no good. And the Irish accents, lordy it was painful to listen to.

LOVED! Need book 2 NOW!

Tristen and Serena's story has me wanting to know more about them, more about the world that Randi Cooley Wilson has created.

There is a series before this one that more than likely has all of the world building in it. I read the first book of that series a while ago. I hate to say that I didn't care for the first book and therefore, never moved forward with the series.

Well Vernal has definitely ended that. I will be rereading book 1 and finishing the series while I wait for book 2 in this series.

I am thrilled to find another PNR that isn't written for my 14 year old daughter.

love supernatural love books!

I laughed, I held my breath in anticipating, and was left hot and wanting at times. This book although is about supernaturals, it is also about a forbidden love. My heart can't wait for the next one so I know what happens next.

Forbidden love at its finest

This book had me guessing through out most of it why they couldn't be together, why was their love so forbidden. Tristan is totally my type of book boyfriend, he's a total bad boy but shows his heart when it comes to Serena. Serena on the other hand seems bad ass but sometimes shows her age and spoiled life in the things she says and does. Watching these two together gives me such great hopes for the next book.

I enjoyed the world created By Randi Cooley Wilson but I do with I started with her other Revaluation series first as this is a spin off of that series. This was my first book by Randi and I am going to go back and start from the beginning so I have a better understanding of the world. Don't get me wrong this book is a standalone.

Vernal

I loved the story but the voice acting was a little off for me. Now this is a new to me author, as well as the voice actors, but I think it could have sounded a little bit better to fit the story. I may skip this series in audio but definitely picking it up in book.

Randi Cooley Wilson does it again!

I Laughed so hard at this book people probably thought I was crazy! This book had exceptional highs and lows and the characters were full of life. I didn't think I would like this series after the first one, because I didn't think I would be able to love the characters as much as the original series, but here I am in suspense to read more and loving every second of this book. It was well thought out and had me laughing and crying. I can't wait or the next book!

Vernal was such a magical sexy read!

Serena and Tristan were excellent characters that kept me invested in their story from beginning to end. I loved Serena's defiance because it wasn't motivated by being careless but rather she just liked to toe the line. Tristan was just amazing but his he shocks me completely at one point in the story. This was my favorite moment in Vernal "I like you Serena, I like you to Tristan I want to keep you, I want to be kept by you." Vernal definitely had some epic moments that left me feeling completely unnerved from how things would turn out. The narration was really great clear and concise. Overall I thoroughly enjoyed this story I cannot wait to read the next one to see what happens next.

Narration ruins the story:(

I’ve listened to the Revelation series three times which I️ LOVED. However this book just left me feeling disappointed. The story felt rushed and the narration ruined the book for me.
