This is the start to an incredible series! I couldn’t put it down and stayed up til almost 3 in the morning even tho I had to get up at 6! Didn’t care, it was worth it.
I really like the fmc. She’s a princess, the heir to the throne but has no magic. A secret the king and queen have kept hidden from the constituents. The king’s health is failing and she can’t assume the throne unless she is married so he enacts the marriage trials to find her a worthy husband/future king. These trials are supposed to show off the contender’s strength, magic skills and worthiness but there is an evil plot to take over the throne so of course the trials turn deadly.
There’s action, magic, shifters, and romance. The mmc who is the love interest is mysterious, hot, dangerous and just everything!
Book 2, Shadows of Ruin, comes out on 3/25 and I can’t wait!
