I love B. C. FaJohn! She always delivers the darkest and broodiest of males. Who always have the most formidable of powers, but have a soft spot for that one FMC.
Morgana has been on her own for a while; however, her brother went missing while in service to the Anarcists in the Shadow Realm. While searching for him, she finds Astor torturing someone that may have had information about her brother. Astor turns out to be the nameless faceless Crown Prince who is looking for a cure to his Shadow Magic that is slowly poisoning him from the inside out.
The tension and slow burn between Astor and Morgana is delicious! They both have a very dark past and neither of them hesitate to use their darker side to get what they want.
I highly recommend this book for all From Blood and Ash fans or A Court of Thrones and Roses fans!
