The sisters have done it again. This book is absolutely amazing! All their other books have been very modern and set in a time that has Faebook, but this one is set 1000s of years before the events of Zodiac academy. Oh and there’s a succubus order in this one!

I knew that this book was much darker than most of the books that I’ve read but the fact that most of the dark aspects involved people younger than 12 was very hard to swallow.

In Myrelinth, the lush, secret city of trees, Fae, Elves, and Halflings like Keera live in harmony.

Keera is a killer. As the King’s Blade, she is the most talented spy in the kingdom. And the king’s favored assassin. When a mysterious figure moves against the Crown, Keera is called upon to hunt down the so-called Shadow. She tracks her target into the magical lands of the Fae, but Faeland is not what it seems—and neither is the Shadow. Keera is shocked by what she learns and can’t help but wonder who her enemy truly is: the King that destroyed her people or the Shadow that threatens the peace.

Best read since Throne of Glass
Reviewed: 09-25-24
Of the 24 books I have managed to read in 2024, this one is the best. I’ve been searching for a book that gives the feel of wonder, magic, and mystery, that Throne of Glass gave me and this book was it. I’m always disappointed in the TikTok recommendations that we all see. This book DOES NOT disappoint, it has everything we look for in a dark romance

Surrounded by enemies, I've never been further from my crown… Or closer to death. Amidst a betrayal we couldn't have anticipated, I'll do whatever it takes to find my way back to Lorian—before his fury lays waste to this continent. Alliances are being forged and broken, our enemies are unifying, and Regner’s spiders are closer than ever before. We have only one chance to prevent him from attaining god-like powers and enslaving every human, fae, and hybrid across the four kingdoms.

Do not let the weird titles deter you from this series. The third book did not disappoint, I have started reading so many series that just plummet after the first book, this series just keeps getting better!

In a world darkened by deceit, the truth is a light that won’t be dimmed—even when it illuminates Lorian’s betrayals more starkly than I could ever want to see. They call him the Bloodthirsty Prince. His reign of terror has left a trail of blood across this continent, a trail that intertwines with my own past—not even my parents were spared from his merciless slaughter. To save my brother’s life, I agreed to another bargain with the fae prince. Now, I’m forced to work with him, to travel to the fae lands, to spend my every waking moment with the man who betrayed me.

If they’re going to find the card before Solstice and set free the kingdom, they will need to journey through the dangerous mist-cloaked forest. The only one who can lead them through is the monster that shares Elspeth’s head: the Nightmare.
