Synopsis
The easiest heist in Alex Rhoden’s career is also the most dangerous of all.
As a child, Alex Rhoden’s talent as a thief was recognized by a rich art collector. He has since then been trained to become one of the best art thieves in the world. While on what should have been the easiest heist of his career, Alex finds himself running with the artifact in his possession, followed by an unknown adversary. But they are not the only ones interested in the artifact—so is an ancient race of demigods called Earned. Cornered and out of options, Alex has to make a difficult decision that will turn his life upside down no matter what he chooses.
The young demigod Kaleb is reborn into servitude, but he is a freak amongst his own kind—the forbidden unity between an Earned and a witch. Other than finding himself, learning to control his powers, and balance high school as a senior, Kaleb must earn the trust of his pack and family. But Alex is in danger, and the young demigod struggles to keep up.

Review
Anchored in Stone is book one in Meraki P Lyhne’s Chronicles
of an Earned. This is a complicated story that you need to allow yourself to
get swept away in. It’s part fantasy, part religious, a lot mysterious, and
filled with endless wonder.
I needed to stop and breathe at times just from all the
building. When a series starts we are meeting the characters in play. Yes, this
series is clearly following a path. It doesn’t end on a cliffhanger but you
don’t get your endgame either. There’s a lot of information to take in. It’s in
multiple POV’s but it’s not head hoppy and it’s not confusing. We jump in to
Alex’s head as well as Kaleb, Edward, Dominic, and I think Pritchard’s.
We are learning about a pack called the Earned. No, not pack
as in shifters. They are NOT shifters. They are immortals, each with an
incredible purpose. One is Revenge, he cleans layers of souls. It’s like what
some may deem as Hell but after the layers of the bad is removed he
is released. There’s Seduction, Well Being, and so many more. They work, sort
of, for mankind. It’s too hard to explain but you need to read it to
understand.
Alex, who’s a master thief gets swept up in things and finds
himself in a world he never imagined. Alex breaks my heart in a lot of ways.
His past, why he’s where he is, all he’s lost, and the fear that practically
consumes him.
This book is gripping, and informative, and the creativity
is breathtaking. This author is known for his world building and unique twist
on fantasy. I highly recommend you read this intriguing and magical story and
begin the crazy ride!
