STAY ANCHORED IN THE LIGHT, THEY TOLD HER. BUT WHAT HAD THE LIGHT EVER DONE FOR HER?
After discovering she’s prophesied to save the realm, Aya’s duty should be clear: return home with once-sworn enemy Will to serve their queen in the coming war against a rival kingdom…one whose pursuit of dark magic could bring the realm to its knees.
But with part of the prophecy still undiscovered, and their queen’s intentions increasingly suspect, Aya’s very purpose is quickly brought into question. With betrayal lurking around every corner, she and Will are forced to lie, manipulate, and hide what they’ve become to one another as they struggle to learn the truth before dark magic destroys them all.
And with secrets and lies trailing Aya wherever she goes, she has to wonder…do the gods truly want her to save the realm…or simply watch it burn?
Thank you to the author and netgalley for an earc!!
I enjoyed the first book and was super excited for this one! This one was a bit different than the first, but it was no less good than the first. We see three different POVs in this book and I enjoyed them all.
I will say there were some twists and turns that I both expected and didn’t expect, and that made the book a lot of fun.
There is a lot of depth to the political aspect in this book as well as the religious aspect. How it was interwoven really worked for me, Aya and Will are such great characters and I really enjoyed that relationship that developed between them in this book.
I don’t want to give too much away, but that cliffhanger was absolutely brutal.
