Saffire is the commandant of the King’s Guard in the kingdom of Firgaard. She is also the king’s cousin. When part of the king’s treasury goes missing from the palace, she is committed to capturing the thief. Only this is not an ordinary thief; this is Eris, the “Death Dancer”, a pirate with the ability to shift between worlds and out of danger. After stealing the ruby, Eris continues to prowl the Firgaard palace determined to annoy Saffire as much as possible. She knows she is walking a fine line but can’t help her attraction to the commandant. It soon becomes apparent that the feeling is reluctantly mutual. The King and Queen are sailing to the Star Isle kingdom to seek aid with the famine devastating the inner parts of the realm. Saffire is captured by the same pirates Eris works for and is also on a course for the Star Isles. It is there that many mysteries are unraveled and Eris finds out who she really is.
This is the third book of The Last Namsara and is considered a companion rather than a sequel. It is not necessary to have read the earlier two but would help flesh out some of the characters.

A great ending to the Iskari series...
I loved the story, the mythology, the development and realisation of the characters... great LGBTQ rep... and Dragons of course...
Had to mark it down because the ending felt a little short... and a tad insta-love-ish... but it was great nonetheless

Even I didn't read the other books in this series I think this can be read as a standalone as I had no big issues with the plot or the characters.
I liked this book because the plot is engrossing and entertaining, the characters are well thought, the world building is interesting.
I think I will read the other book in this series.
Recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine.

Tiny law breaker and dutifully law enforcer go on adventure and eventually fall in love? Yawn. What’s that? They’re both girls??? GIMME, GIMME, GIMMEEEE!! I had no idea there was going to be sapphic love when I started reading this and I legitimately did a little dance of joy when I realized it!!! Idk, I always love this trope and it’s just 100x cuter in this book. I loved it. I especially loved that there was no official coming out scene! They just both knew they’re gay and it was nbd. Loooooved it!!!

“When night descends I look to those who’ve gone before me, lighting my path through the dark.”
This was a pretty cute addition to the series and just like the second book, it’s way better than the first! The series should have just been the second and third, the first was just so different and not in a good way. I loved Safire’s POV, I loved that it was LGBTQ+ friendly, and it was so cute!
There were some plot holes in the book that bothered me, like that we never got a backstory between Jesmin and Eris’s relationship as the major one.
Home is where your heart is.
