Synopsis

An action-packed enemies-to-lovers romantasy filled with a romance that will leave you breathless, betrayals that will rip your heart out, and a princess who will stop at nothing for revenge.
One year ago, Rowenna Harrack, the crown princess of Tashir, left her homeland in a wedding dress of chains—sent away to the enemy nation of Vanzador as a captive bride.
Now, Rowenna is dead. Brought home in a coffin after an alleged fall from a cliff.
Second-born princess, Indira, knows her sister's death was no accident. Desperate for truth and vengeance, Indira agrees to wed the prince so she can infiltrate Vanzador, find Rowenna's murderer, and burn their kingdom to the ground.
Indira's plan is simple, she will make nice until she can find out how to avenge her sister and free her country from the rival nation's stranglehold. But when Indira arrives, nothing is as terrible as Rowenna described. As Indira grows closer to her new husband, Prince Alaric, and uncovers more about Vanzador, the source of its powers, and what happened during Rowenna's final days, she's no longer sure what—and who—to believe. Because everyone, even her sister, has secrets. Deadly ones.

About The Author

Addie Thorley spent her childhood riding horses and scribbling stories. After graduating from the University of Utah with a degree in journalism, she decided “hard news” didn’t contain nearly enough magic and kissing, so she flung herself into the land of fiction. She lives in San Diego with her family, and, when she’s not writing, she can be found walking her wolfdogs or crocheting tiny stuffed animals.

Goodreads review by Ashley on December 03, 2025

I really do love fantasy, but romantasy feels like an entirely different breed. Some work for me and other's don't. This one unfortunately fell into the 'don't' category. Meh would be the way to sum up my feelings. It wasn't bad but it also wasn't something I was invested in. I think the mystery asp......more

Goodreads review by Fátima on April 12, 2026

A fantasy that holds all the answers within itself 3.5⭐ A YA fantasy with a very unique world and magic system, unlike what's common in the current market. Before anything else, I'd like to thank NetGalley and Sourcebooks Fire for the ARC in exchange for an honest review. First, I think it's important......more

Goodreads review by Dozelina on March 29, 2026

I have very mixed feelings about this book and it took me a while to put my thoughts in order and write this review. On one hand, the potential is definitely there. This could have easily been a 5 star (or more) read. The premise is strong, revenge driven princess, political marriage, enemies to love......more

Goodreads review by Jaime on February 09, 2026

I really wanted to love this one, the premise is exactly my kind of romantasy: a political marriage to an enemy prince, a heroine seeking answers about her sister’s death, and a court full of secrets. Unfortunately, the execution didn’t fully live up to how strong the setup was. The book leans much m......more
