Sylvia is a troubled soul lost to the past. She has a secret that could kill her and the power to stop anyone who tries. She has been in hiding for many years and closed off from any companionship for just as long. On the day of a festival, everything in her life changes forever.
Arin is the Heir to the Nizahl Kingdom and Commander of their army. During one of his missions, he discovers a small village in the outskirts of a bordering kingdom. While approaching, he finds someone performing rites to a fallen Jasadi. Here he starts to form a plan. Arin then decides to use Sylvia as bait in his current mission.
The plot was magnificent. The writing was captivating. I’m honestly shocked this was the authors debut book. When I know the book is going to be a series, I usually postpone completely finishing the book until the next book is available, but with this book it was impossible! I cannot wait for the second book to come out! While some of the more popular books end with a massive cliffhanger that could drive anyone insane, this book ended on a very nice note.(not like yay, I would be happy if that were the end of the series but more like everything came together in the end.)
I could not recommend this book enough. I’m going to make all my book reading co workers and all my book reading customers read this book.
