Synopsis

“What did it matter what I felt about anyone? In three days, either I would be queen—or I would be dead.”

For a hundred years, the once prosperous kingdom of Perin Faye has suffered under the rule of the greedy and power-hungry Thungrave kings.

Maralyth Graylaern, a vintner’s daughter, has no idea her hidden magical power is proof of a secret bloodline and claim to the throne.

Alac Thungrave, the king’s second son, has always been uncomfortable with his position as the spare heir—and the dark, stolen magic that comes with ruling.

When Maralyth becomes embroiled in a plot to murder the royal family and seize the throne, a cat-and-mouse chase ensues in an adventure of dark magic, court intrigue, and forbidden love.

2.5 stars I love it when authors write standalone fantasies. I think these are rare gems. Some stories need a saga but more often than not, authors drag their books to become trilogies at the very least. This book easily managed to deliver an enjoyable story with likable characters in less than 350 p......more

Blog | Twitter The beginning of this book had so much promise—an intriguing magic system, a spare to the throne who spent his free time tutoring children, and a peasant girl whose life as a vintner’s daughter had the potential for a unique spin on the secret royal trope.
