The way this book ATE and left no crumbs. I love anything and everything Karina Halle, so it was no exception when I picked this book up, that I knew I was going to enjoy this book wholeheartedly!

It had everything I was looking for in this new romantasy book. There was magic, angst, and the perfect amount of romance in it! The mystery and the world building in this book was top tier, and I loved it so much!

Thank you NetGalley for an eARC!

This book is a scorching, heart-pounding romantic fantasy that pulls you deep into a world of crime, politics, and ancient beasts. Andor is the last man Brynla wants to trust, yet their chemistry is undeniable. The push and pull between them creates a romance that’s both dangerous and intoxicating, set against a backdrop of ruthless rivalries, dragons and prophecies. And, Halle’s masterful world-building is phenomenal. The tension between political dynasties, the looming return of dragons, and the intricate, deadly dynamics between the characters all weave together seamlessly, making for a captivating read that keeps you on edge. Brynla’s journey is one of survival, betrayal, and discovery of her own strength and her unexpected feelings for Andor. I’m so hooked and I can’t wait enough to start recommending it already.
