I have read several fantasy books this year, and this has been one of my favorites. Taylor really knows how to build a plot & throw in just the right amount of twists to keep you enraptured in every page.
This book is set in a fantasy world with kingdoms at war & magic abound. The residents of the realm have control over elemental & rune magic that they wield like an extra weapon in battle.
One human in particular, Raya, has used her skills with the blade & magic to become a fearsome warrior. However, that can do little to protect her when her battle plan goes horribly wrong & she is captured and made into a “pet” for the King of Corath (think King of Adarlan from Throne of Glass…seriously evil!)
Lucky for Raya, she has already captured the heart of the Queen of her kingdom who will stop at nothing to save her….but it’s not just the Queen who seeks to save her. Orion, Prince of Corath (and her ENEMY!) has also taken notice of her (gasp!). Which one can save her? Which one can have her? Or will she save herself?
I hope you enjoy following Raya as she fights for her heart, her freedom, & her kingdom as much as I did. I’m already eagerly waiting for Book 2!
