Thank you Braidee Otto for the ARC of this incredible debut!! 

Before reading, I was so excited to be chosen as an ARC Reader for this book, and now having read it I must say I am actually HONOURED to have gotten a chance to read this epic story before it came out! 

Wowowowowowowowowow!!! 
This is one of the blessed instances where the gorgeous book cover matches the amazing book content!! 

This was an epic adventure full of intrigue, mystery, high stakes, and glorious strong, badass female characters!

There are so many lovable characters to get to know and root for and Braidee Otto does an excellent job of writing them so memorably in their own way that it isn't difficult to keep track of who is who. 

There are so many layers to each characters' lives within an equally layered plot. The story eases you in then before you know it, you're immersed in this fantastical that Braidee Otto has created! 

I absolutely devoured this book! Each chapter was a morsel that made me want to read more and that cliffhanger made me ravenous for the sequel!! 

Braidee Otto masterly crafts an epic and exciting story full of court intrigue, high stakes, romance, and mystery with a full cast of badass and rootable characters of spies and assassins! 

I can't wait to see what happens next!
