This is a romantasy story featuring two princes and a bodyguard. Camrael has been betrothed to Eleas and is being escorted to the his kingdom by his own bodyguard Turo whom he is in love with, along with the prince in disguise as Kai, and some of his men. They face obstacles, pursuit from a murderous King Embros, and betrayal in their journeys, but also come together to find love and a soul binding loyalty.

Cam comes across as fickle at times but just wears his emotions on his sleeve and has a big heart. Kai is the patient and understanding gentle giant of the trio and comes off as overprotective. Turo is Cam's childhood friend, bodyguard, and true love, but seems to be the most level-headed at times, except when it comes to Cam's safety. They are all very taken with each other, and free love seems to abound.

There was lots of world building, and the plot kept on pace, which made this a quick and enjoyable read. The ending leaves it open for a sequel to happen and their adventures to continue.

I was enchanted by how easily it was to get lost into this action packed world of Gods, adventure, fighting, intrigue & so much more. It was such a fascinating journey watching the characters & their relationships evolve. The chemistry between the prince & his bodyguard was palpable & undeniable from the start. It was beautiful watching the love develop with the new husband. I love how accepting this world is of all types of love.

If you are looking for your next spicy romantasy that throws into the action & romance right from the start, I recommend Winds of Destiny, which is out now!

Massive thanks to NetGalley & Entangled Amara for the gifted copy, which I voluntarily read & reviewed.

I didn’t expect to love this book as much as I did. The world is so rich, the characters are amazing, the romance doesn’t feel forced, and the plot is really interesting. I am definitely planning to purchase this book so I can reread it as many times as possible.

The world-building is beautiful. This author doesn’t lore dump at all throughout the book and, even though we don’t get all the lore in the beginning, I never felt lost while reading. The world is super interesting and I would definitely love to learn more about this world.

The characters are amazingly written. They feel real and flawed and their motivations make sense. Even the evil characters are written well. I just love these characters so much especially since we get points of view from all three main characters. Their romance was also just peak and beautiful. I was giggling and kicking my feet in the air.

The plot was interesting and didn’t feel rushed or slow. Honestly, I just loved this book so much.

Definitely recommend this book to fantasy lovers or someone looking for a queer book. Make sure to read the back and the content warnings before hand but please pick up this book!

This was sadly a DNF for me. I’m not sure which way the wind was blowing but it sure was not to destiny. The writing just didn’t work for me and the characters felt too flat. I kept having to stop and figure out what was happening and why it was happening and eventually came to the conclusion that I just didn’t really care.

Occurring in a world with multiple gods and magic that is sleeping, Prince Cam is betrothed to Prince Eleas, even though he is in love with his bodyguard-spy, Turo. The three become enmeshed in an attack from an evil king set on unleashing new powers. This fantasy novel was highly entertaining even if lacking somewhat in depth. I was in a place where I needed a distraction and this fit the bill. I received a digital copy from NetGalley.

Winds of Destiny has an intriguing premise with its blend of polyamory, magic, and political intrigue, but unfortunately, it didn’t fully deliver for me. The world-building has a lot of potential, and I appreciated the concept of the everwinds and the political tension with the king, but the execution felt lacking.

The characters, while distinct, didn’t feel as developed as I’d hoped. The relationships, particularly the romantic dynamics, felt forced and lacked the depth needed to make them truly compelling. I struggled to connect with the trio — their motivations weren’t always clear, and some of the emotional moments seemed underdeveloped.

The pacing also felt off, with too much focus on the setup and not enough on the stakes or the payoff. By the time the action picked up, I was already disengaged, which made the climax feel anticlimactic.

Overall, Winds of Destiny had promise, but the pacing issues, underdeveloped relationships, and inconsistent character motivations left me wanting more. It might work for readers who are more forgiving of these elements, but it didn’t quite hit the mark for me.

Not my cup of tea. Will not leave any reviews online as I did not enjoy the book or finish it. It was just not something I liked.

To start, I think a lot of readers will enjoy this book. It has a lot of great elements, but I just felt like it needed more development.

For example, I wanted more world building and plot development. I felt a lot of this book is the romance between the three MMCs, which after awhile makes the story feel a bit one-dimensional.

To the romance part, a lot of readers will love the dynamics between Cam, Turo, and Kai. They're mixed up in a tangled web in their fight against the evil king, but their relationships apart and together are basically the story.

I'm a detail girlie, so if you're bogged down by details, I think this steamy romance could be something you love.

Thank you to Entangled for the eARC of this book!

I love the premise of this book, but I found myself wanting more. I needed more world building. I need more tension and angst. Some people might love this! I really wanted to, but I just wanted more.
