This was such a cute book. I think this was my first based around adventure guilds and it was quite fun and a great way to branch out from my usual tropes!

Fawn is our FMC who is blessed - sorry, cursed, with immortality. After living for a few centuries, she doesn’t see the plus side of her long life, just the negatives. She is the master at her empires one and only adventure guild, and she does an excellent job.

In come Jasper, Casper, Aimon, Bastian, and Silas - the “shield” for a neighboring empire, which happens to be the empire Fawn was from and wants nothing to do with. Reasons why are explained on the book. Their emperor has tasked them with enlisting Fawn’s help at breaking hexes placed on them.

J & C are twins and they are immediately infatuated and obsessed with Fawn. They decide they want to be with her forever and set out to convince her it won’t be a bad thing.

Bastian was my favorite from the get-go. His shy demeanor just pulled at me.

Aimon is the caretaker of the group, and Fawn quickly realizes how beneficial he is to the group.

Silas is our grumpy one. But for good reason. Not being able to use his magic gives him a feeling of loss of control that he struggles to deal with.

The 6 of them get to know each other and start to fall for each other throughout the book, all while Fawn works to break their hexes, avoid assassination attempts, monster attacks, and running her guild. It’s an adventure. I mean, obviously. They’re a bunch of adventurer mages!

This does end on a slight cliffhanger, but I’m sure the story will continue right back up in the next book!
