Description
A stunning new fantasy for fans of Robin Hobb and Patrick Rothfuss.
Lostport is a backwater kingdom that is suddenly thrust into the spotlight when wealth is discovered on its shores. High-spirited and irresponsible Laina, the king's only remaining heir, may not be allowed to inherit the throne--but she alone can keep her beloved homeland out of the High King's grasp.
When the High King decides to use a construction project in one of the remote fjords of Lostport as a training ground for his armies, tensions mount, until the straightforward project begins to look like an excuse for a military takeover of Lostport.
Will Laina consent to marrying a stranger to keep her kingdom out of the hands of the grasping Whitish Empire? Or is she desperate enough to push her own land to the brink of ruin to sever ties with Whitland?

Wonderful, sweeping story. It tells the story from different points of view, allowing for a richer story.

I received this ARC copy from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. So thank you netgalley and publishers. I have never read from this author before. This story takes place in many kingdoms. There is war and love, and alot of mistrust between everyone. The High King of the Whitish empire is losing control and wants to start a war with the Varrilans. Lostport has plans to try and buy their freedom but building a giant city, called Port Emerald but there are people who have ulterior motives. Everyone become distrustful of one another. Decisions are made to try and save the people of Lostport. Laina is the princess, who's brother had become an invalid. She cannot rule unless she marries a man of royal blood, but Laina has no desire to marry, because she is in love with Conrad, which is a commoner! The king blames Conrad for his son's injury and exiles him but his love for Laina brings him back. Together with the help of others, Laina and Conrad work together to save Lostport. They have to use trickery and be cunning to outsmart the Whitsh. I really enjoyed this book, but I love the medieval time period! It was full of Awesomeness! I give it a 4.5 star rating.. :)
