Title:  Lion Soul’s Eternal Vow
Series:  Esoterra Shifters World #6
Author:  Amelia Wilson
Published:  October 23, 2025
My Rating:  4.5 stars

Lion Soul’s Eternal Vow is the sixth title in the Esoterra Shifters World series, featuring Stacy (human) and Brendon (lion shifter) as their friendship flames into fated mates in a dangerous situation.

Stacy and Brandon were lifelong friends; they were also mates (although Brandon’s world frowns upon…almost forbids mate bonds with humans).  When Brandon must return to the Esoterra realm, he promises to return for Stacy.  Four long years have passed, and if it weren’t for the fact that Stacy was the target of a killer, she might not have run to the Esoterra forests, which reunited her with Brandon… and perhaps even more danger than she’s trying to escape.

Brandon has been working on getting his pride to accept Stacy as his mate; it’s a long haul, especially when an arranged mating with a rival panther pride is involved.  War or the woman he loves?  That decision is mute when Stacy, on the run, enters Esoterra territory, her silver lion pendant alerting Brandon that she’s near and in trouble.

I enjoyed returning to this world with Lion Soul’s Eternal Vow by Amelia Wilson.  It’s well-written, passionate, dangerous, emotional, and so satisfying as these soulmates fight for their right to be together.  If you love a steamy Shifter Romance with all kinds of feels possible, then you’d love Stacy and Brandon’s story.
