eARC review! Thank you to Harper Collins and NetGalley!
Brigid Kemmerer's books are always a hit for me and this was no exception. I usually only read books with one POV and one love interest, but this book with three POVS and an MMF romance had me absolutely hooked! But I shouldn't be surprised because Kemmerer's writing is just that good!!

The story follows a warrior king and a princess from a neighboring kingdom who attempt to strike a marriage alliance for the betterment of their kingdoms. But things get complicated with the princess's best friend, an assassin, is tasked with killing them both.
I really enjoyed each POV and I never felt bored with any of them. I loved seeing them peel back each other's layers. They are all quite different with complex backgrounds, but they work together so well.

I loved the tension! Though the initial physical attraction is apparent pretty early on, there was a gradual buildup to their relationship as they tear down their walls and let the other in. The book laid a great foundation to their dynamic that I'm super excited to explore in future installments of the series!

This is a true romantasy!! I don't want to give away too much, but this has everything to love about the genre!
✓ lots of tension
✓ well-paced
✓ great character development 
✓ and some spicyyy scenes

The book deals with some very mature themes so check content warnings before diving in if you may be concerned!
HIGHLY recommend if you're a romantasy lover looking for a new story with unique characters and steamy romance!
