Tyrants cut out hearts. Rulers sacrifice their own.
Princess Hesina of Yan has always been eager to shirk the responsibilities of the crown, but when her beloved father is murdered, she's thrust into power, suddenly the queen of an unstable kingdom. Determined to find her father's killer, Hesina does something desperate: she enlists the aid of a soothsayer - a treasonous act, punishable by death…because in Yan, magic was outlawed centuries ago.
Using the information illicitly provided by the sooth, and uncertain if she can trust even her family, Hesina turns to Akira - a brilliant investigator who's also a convicted criminal with secrets of his own. With the future of her kingdom at stake, can Hesina find justice for her father? Or will the cost be too high?
In this shimmering Chinese-inspired fantasy, debut author Joan He introduces a determined and vulnerable young heroine struggling to do right in a world brimming with deception.

it’s good but…

I want to start by saying this story is well written with very fleshed out characters each with their own ideals and backgrounds. The way they interact is realistic and the world building is on point. However.
I found myself incredibly frustrated at the ending. While I love open endings, the way it ended left so many loose threads That will never lead to a second book. Hesina makes a plan to take back her throne that is genuinely intriguing, the twist with Caiyan's backstory-and his motivations- made sense but the sacrifice of Lillian felt cheap, especially after Mei.
I'm not upset with the author about not having a second story, but the ending needed cleaning up just a chapter more to avoid the immense frustration I was left with.
Good Characters, frustrating ending
