Dawn, the Summer Princess, has trained all her life for one task - to head through a portal and kill an Ethereum Lord, returning with his heart. Doing so will stop the curse ravaging her realm for another 100 years, her ancestors have have been doing this for centuries.
However, it all goes a bit awry when, instead of appearing in front of the Ethereum Lord she's meant to kill, she is instead captured by Zander, a handsome royal guard.
If Dawn is to complete her task, and save her realm, she must now play by Zander's rules. Yet, as Dawn embarks on this journey she learns that not everything is at is seems...
This was a fun super quick read - I read the whole thing in just under 3 hours (I think)
It's a fast-paced (and it really is fast-paced, things just keep happening), semi-standalone fantasy romance - I say semi-standalone as it's the first in a series of interconnected books (which will become clear why once you finish this book).
I liked the world building, the characters are really fun and interesting. It's overall just a good time. Definitely a good palate cleanser for in-between heavier/longer books.
If you are looking for a light-hearted, fun, easy book then this is definitely one to pick up. With how quick it took me to read, I'd actually be interested in reading the rest of the series!
