**Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC of this book!**
Rielle is the best friend of the crown prince, and also the best friend of the girl he is going to marry, but on her own, she isn't anyone special. That is, until a run-in with assassins forces her to expose her magical abilities - those of a legendary and prophesied queen. Because the prophecy foretells two queens - one of light and salvation, and one of darkness and destruction - Rielle must endure seven trials to prove that she is the kingdom's salvation, and not its downfall. Oh, and there's also angelic voices talking inside her head.
A thousand years later, Rielle is a legend - or perhaps a fairy tale. Eliana, with secrets of her own, has become a bounty hunter to keep her family alive. When countless women in the city (including Eliana's own mother) vanish without a trace, she chooses to join a rebel captain on a dangerous mission, in the hopes of saving her mother and her city.
Though they seem very different, the stories of Rielle and Eliana are intertwined, telling one cohesive and dangerous tale.
My Notes: So, the back and forth between two stories set a thousand years apart is a bit confusing, and it took me a bit to get sucked into this one, but once I did, I couldn't put it down. I look forward to reading the next in the series!
