<i>I received a free copy from the author in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.</i>

If you like an epic love that can bring down an empire, outsiders finding themselves, a magical forest, then this romantasy is for you. 

We follow two women, Ash and Karus. Ash is sent to Felgren Forest to train with the Baron against her wishes. There, she must accept herself, her place there, and open to letting people in. Karus is lost and must find her way back to herself. 

I could not put this book down! The author does a good job of balancing the romance storyline and the fantasy plot interweaving them seamlessly. I've read some books in this genre that were either romance forward with some fantasy or vice versa, which is eh for me. 

There is spice, but it felt believable and helped truly feel the connection between the love of couple (I'm not naming characters because I don't want to spoil anything).

I usually can catch most plot twists, but the author got me at every turn. THAT ENDING 😱. I can't wait for the second book of this series to come out in May. 

This is a debut indie author, and I look forward to reading more from her.
