Eden wishes for nothing more than one night away from her overprotecting mother, and a ball at another king's court seems like the perfect outing. But when the night is over Eden finds herself betrothed to Draven, the king of Andhera, also known as the king of nightmares. You should be careful what you wish for...

This is a re-telling of Hades and Persephone and I loved everything about it! The world building with the three realms and three kings, the well fleshed out characters, that you either love or hate, and the romance between Lady Eden of Damaris and King Draven - all exactly in my taste! Even the sex scenes are top notch and with just the right amount of steam. This was a book I had a hard time putting down, but I also didn't want it to end! Highly recommended!

"Andhera wasn't a place anyone willingly spoke of unless it was in hushed whispers, and its king, Draven, was ruthless."

* I received a free copy of the book from BookSirens and I'm giving my honest review. *
