A perfect YA Fantasy standalone. Set in the political aftermath of a plague that sweeps across a continent, yet so much more than that. Assassination plots, ghosts, scenes of trauma and recovery; this is a thrilling story with compelling characters propelling the plot along every step of the way.

A lost price returned home with a dark past lurking over his shoulder, and secrets both behind and ahead of him for him to keep or uncover.

A princess with a whole lot of spunk, and none of the shirked responsibility often found in YA heirs.

And supporting cast that hooked me from the outset.

Damn, this was good. I wasn't sure and almost put it down, but I'm glad I stayed with it because this was an excellent read! Mysterious and quite tense in places.

It's a satisfying fast paced read with good characters. It was compelling enough to stay up for. Plague is part of the story so you might expect this to be really dark but it came across more as melancholy but not in a depressing way. There is somehow a hopeful centre to it all that felt genuine and not naive. It's good! You should read it :)
