Guardian of the Drowned Empire by Frankie Diane Mallis
5.0
"No ropes can hold you. No cage can trap you. You get scared—you see that rope in your mind. And you tear that fucking rope apart."
everything about this book was perfect from start to finish. i could talk your ear off about this world for hours if you’d let me.
”I wish—“ His voice broke. “I wished that someone—anyone had circled back, hadn’t taken my word, hadn’t believed my lies, and had asked me—asked me just one more time if I was okay. Because I think if I’d been asked once more, I would have told them everything.”
one and a half book of slow burn but finally lyr and rhyan said fck the oaths at the 50% mark and gave us something. and continued giving throughout the book. rhyan continues training lyriana for her upcoming trial, where she’ll have to prove to the emperor that the absence magic in her is no obstacle and that she can be a soturion, a soldier as strong and capable as all others.
lyriana fears she’ll fail, but luckily she has rhyan in her corner. rhyan, who truly believes in her strength –even when lyriana herself doesn’t. rhyan, who teaches her everything she needs to know, pushes her beyond her limits and helps her realise that she is strong enough to go above and beyond these limits.
“I won’t lose you,” he said. “Of all the oaths I swore, this one I will hold. I will keep you safe.”
