This book wraps you in a darkly enchanting tale of survival, identity, and forbidden connection. Imogen is a heroine you can’t help but root for. The writing draws you into a world teetering on the edge of ruin, its atmosphere as vivid as the emotions it evokes. The slow-burning connection between them is steeped in tension, duty, and undeniable chemistry, making every interaction charged with meaning. It’s a tale of power, vulnerability, and learning to trust, even when betrayal feels inevitable. Overall, it’s hauntingly beautiful and, I am highly anticipating the next book.

Sublime little story that filled the gaps in between readings for the winter season. Evocative prose and writing, interesting dynamics and relationship. Lovely, entertaining read. 5 stars
