When we learn Wynter actually chose to marry Khamsin rather than being tricked in The Winter King.

One of my favorite scenes from the Winter King is when Wynter discovers that his wife Khamsin was imprisoned by her father. I also like the memories that Wynter makes with ice. It was a way of Khamsin seeing an other side of Wynter.

When Rain swoops down to meet Ellie–so dramatic!

Marguerite G.

Have to say the moment when Rain and Ellie meet for the first time in Lord of the Fading Lands – everything starts from there!

Do entire books count as scenes haha? I can’t pick just one! Hmmm…. if I had to choose though, it would have be when Rain and Ellysetta meet in Lord of the Fading Lands.

Zoe Miles

  on October 22, 2017 :

I love the scene in Lord of the Fading Lands (in pretty sure) where Rain wagers Ellie on a game of stones for a kiss if he wins. I just loved that it showed the playful side of them, Rain especially.

Lindsey

I love the scene with the tairen and elli in the hot springs.

Dawn Roberto

  on October 22, 2017 :

Love the scene where Rain makes the warriors unwrap wedding gifts. <3

Amista Phillips

The scene where Ellie’s dad finds out Rain and Ellie have been getting busy (magically, lol)

Jenny Dorsett

  on October 22, 2017 :

Yes! This is my favorite question!!! My favorite question is when Kieran finds Lillis buried in the rubble. I adore that scene!!!

Ignore my typo please… My phone is being quite strange lately and has a mind of its own when I get to type anything.

Tori

Of course all of Ellie and Rain’s scenece are magical but I also love the scene where Rain makes the warriors unwrap the wedding gifts! Cracks me up everytime. The banter between all the warriors is hilarious and one of my favorite things about these novels

When Elly accepts Rains first courtship gift without realizing that it is one. I just thought it was a cute moment.

Amanda Warner

  on October 22, 2017 :

When Rain and Ellie “burn” their way through the faering mists. Both of their tairens’ are roused and Ellie says to the surrounding fey “Ayiah, you should fear us. We are fierce.” Then she truthspeaks Maryissa without even touching her! Also, just the chemistry between Rain and Ellie after such a traumatic ordeal! I have a ton of others, but that one is at the top of my list.

Ah! I’m so excited to read Sea King!!! I can’t wait! 🙂

I actually really love the scene where Elfeya holds Shan’s soul to the Light after he kills the Drogon Blood Lord in their short story “A Good Day to Die.” There are so many stories from the Fading Lands that I want to follow, but Shan and Elfeya’s journey is certainly one I hope we see more of someday!

I’m a weirdo…the scene where Elly gets stabbed in the side. SO MUCH DRAMA AND STRENGTH! And I’ll never forget your short story involving waffles! I’ve never been able to look at a Waffle House the same way BAHAHAHA 😀

Gail

  on October 22, 2017 :

Queen of Song and Souls-when Ellysetta thought she had killed Bel. Then he told her, my life is yours. My death is yours, too, should you ever require it. Mind. Blown! I love Bel!

Tina M.

  on October 22, 2017 :

When Steli tells Ellysetta she’s knocking

Janet

  on October 22, 2017 :

The moment Elfya and Shan are able to meet their daughter for the first time and interact with her.

Rachael constant

  on October 22, 2017 :

Any scene with Ellie and rain in. And also when she mets the tairens and stelli? (Sorry if the name is wrong but it’s been a while since I read it) acts a bit like an adoptive mother to her

Melissa Esser

I love it when Ellie finally accepts their truemate bond. The whole series is building up to that moment!
