Description
A series of gruesome murders. A playboy fae prince. A reclusive kingdom.
What could possibly go wrong?
Read book one now before the series wraps on December 8th!
----
Cyril Rhodea has always feared the Kingdom of Reykr.
Generations of dark fables shroud the isolated moon-fae realm, its reclusive people steeped in rumors of sacrifice and sanguine arts—a stark contrast to the orderly, conservative sun-fae states of Southern Carinae.
But when a contract to investigate murders plaguing the notorious kingdom is awarded to her uncle’s esteemed rogues’ guild, everything changes.
Cyril is forced to confront those long-standing fears and does so with Reykr’s Prince Commander determined to get under her skin. Mikael exudes unchecked arrogance that rivals the reckless recruits Cyril has spent years tolerating, and despising him should come with ease.
Fate, however, is rarely so kind.
As she finds herself torn between the conflicting pulls of duty and desire in a world determined to break her, Cyril knows only one thing for certain:
No one will leave Reykr unscathed.

Cyril's Uncle Dion pissed me of to no end in this one, his controlling and belittling attitude to Cyril had me wanting to throw my damn kindle. Especially when he threw threats at her and others regarding her 🙄. ESPECIALLY at that ONE POINT when she is grieving! oh i wanted nothing more than to throttle her damn uncle!! oh how i screamed at my kindle that he is a heartless basturd and i hope he burns in hell! the hate i have for her uncle is strong (these are thoughts come with beimg 64% into the book.
Mikael - the 'playboy/badboy' prince who is remarkably sweet and conciderate and also caring. and when the events that unforld happen, the way he is, the way he breaks, my heart!!
I loved this book and i cant wait for book 2 to see what happens next with Cyril and Mikael.
I laughed, i smiled, i cried, i got angry and wanted to throw my kindle a few times reading this. It pulled so many emotions out of me. i truly did enjoy every moment of this book and am eager to read the next installment when it comes out in december
