This addictive debut swept me away! 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗘𝗡𝗘𝗠𝗬'𝗦 𝗗𝗔𝗨𝗚𝗛𝗧𝗘𝗥 𝗯𝘆 𝗠𝗲𝗹𝗶𝘀𝘀𝗮 𝗣𝗼𝗲𝘁𝘁 is a lush, dystopian reimagining of Tristan and Isolde with enemies-to-lovers tension, intimate magic, and high stakes that hooked me from the first page. Isadora, a brave young healer, is shot with a poisoned arrow while trying to protect her people—and is saved by Tristan, the enemy assassin she was trying to capture. Their bond, formed through forbidden magic, ties them together in more ways than one. Set in a post-Republic world where two rival settlements fight for control of the last untainted land, this story masterfully blends romantic yearning, shifting loyalties, and the brutal cost of survival. The dynamic between Tristan and Isadora crackles with tension, and I loved how the magic system deepened their emotional connection. Poett delivers a fast-paced, heartfelt YA romantasy that’s as immersive as it is entertaining.
