Story
Leigh Raelyn should be burned at the stake. Not only did she cause the deaths of her family — she’s also a Lunar witch, bonded with the outlawed element, aether. But hiding an illicit gift is almost impossible when you’re next in line for the throne, and her supply of magical suppressants is dwindling. So, when she discovers a way to surrender her title, Leigh seizes her chance. Wilder Dunn will do whatever it takes to ascend the ranks of the Borealis Blades — so long as it gives him the power to bring his sister’s killers to their knees.

Action filled cozy fantasy
Reviewed: 03-08-24
I loved this cozy fantasy romance! It was fun, fast-paced, full of adventure, romance, political intrigue, and an adorable shapeshifting animal companion!
Our main character, Rose, is my favorite type of character! She’s an underestimated, magical weapons master! While she has had a rough life, she doesn’t let it bring her down. She is strong, fierce, loyal, and very logical. Rose has built a nice life for herself! But when the mist plague attacks her village, she is forced to face her childhood demons.
The slow burn between Rose and Luc is delicious! I loved their chemistry from the start! The characters are older, but the start of the book does have a YA feel. The characters mature throughout the story though and we do get a little spice.
And let’s not forget how much I love Arie! I mean who wouldn’t love a hilarious, animal shapeshifter protector!?
This story has a little of everything: • Kickass heroine • Hidden identity • Elemental Magic • Political intrigue • Touch her and Die • Fake Dating • He Fell First • Cinnamon Roll Hero • Only one bed • Animal companion
I can’t wait for the next book! I highly recommend this one the next time you’re looking for a low angst, romantasy with high rewards!
Kari Hollowell gave a great performance! I had so much fun! She sounds younger than I pictured the heroine though.

Reviewed: 03-04-24
After an interesting opening scene that sucks you in, things do slow down for a bit. But don’t give up! In a world where the majority of women were wiped out by a plague, the males consider it their duty to make their wife happy. Well, unless they’re a 𝘵𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦𝘥 𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘰 who thinks their wife is a spy. LOL! Good thing Jade has a backbone!
This book really starts to shine when Jade and Theo move in together. The sexual tension is off the chart, and their banter is next level! This book contains so many of my favorite tropes! Theo is one of my favorite book boyfriends!
