“I have been starved, Nyra. Until you..”
“You think that anyone could get away with hurting you and that it wouldn’t matter?”

Book 1 out of 3
-Who did this to you?
-Secret Identity
-Forbidden Love
-LOTS of sexy Banter
-Dual POV
This book gave me Assassin's Blade and Red Queen vibes, and I LOVED IT SO MUCH.
The story follows Nyra, an on-the-run princess escaping her cruel father, the King. After fleeing his abuse for not having any power, she’s living on the streets of his kingdom, hiding and waiting for the right moment to escape to another land. But when a pickpocketing attempt goes wrong, she’s captured by royal guards, only to be ‘rescued’ by rebels—one of whom dislikes her because of her fake rebel branding. Now, she’s forced to become a rebel while hiding from the kingdom that’s searching for her, keeping her true identity a secret.
Darce, the son of the rebellion’s leader, doesn’t trust Nyra one bit—but he can’t get her out of his head or keep his hands to himself. His possessiveness over her starts from the very beginning. He knows she’s hiding something, but he can’t figure out what. The banter between these two characters, the tension, the spicy scenes, the jealousy, and the possessiveness? PERFECTION. Darce is confident, dominant, with a filthy HAWT mouth, and he’s perfect—especially for a naive princess who’s been hidden away most of her life.
I loved how the other characters got to know Nyra just a little bit and still loved her so deeply. And that last chapter? Holy moly.
This book was a light, fast-paced read for me, and I rated it four stars because I feel like it could have had a bit more depth. But honestly, it’s still such a GOOD book, and I can't wait for the second one!
