This book had tyranny, fanatics, violence, love and rebellion. Leda is a Counterpart to her half sister Azaria. Azaria’s destiny is to kill Leda to show her loyalty to the realm. With rumours of rebels reaching the kings ears, he brings forward the ceremony to please the gods and demonstrate Azarias readiness to lead and conquer. Leda’s plans for escape slowly diminish and her only comfort is books and the royal tutor Pyrrhus who agrees to teach her about the world while she has a few months to live.
This was a brilliant read and highly recommend to those who enjoy historical fantasy with a side of romance. Lots of twists and turns of characters who play cards close to their chest. Frustrated that I have to wait for book 2. This will be an amazing series.
Received a complimentary copy of the book from Voracious Readers Only and provided a review voluntarily.
