A human princess. An elven warrior. A betrothal bound in a curse.
Today, Aury learned three things; one, she is a princess; two, she might be a powerful mage; and three, a brutal mountain elf is on his way to the kingdom for their marriage. Aury can’t escape her newly revealed royal parents quickly enough. If they think she is going to marry some vicious elven warrior mage, they have another thing coming. They claim she’s a mage too, but she has yet to prove it. She heads to the magic military order to get her rune-marked staff and learn everything she can. If she becomes the weapon they need instead of her not-if-she-can-help-it husband, they’ll send the mountain elf packing, right? If they don’t, she will.
Filip is certain of three truths; one, he is bound to wed a stubborn mule of a princess; two, the union will give his people the farmland they desperately need; and three, his nightmare of a bride has wild magic that will probably kill him before their wedding day. But he will die before he gives up on winning her hand. War is coming, and the first battle will be fought in the heart.
Loosely inspired by the old tales of Sleeping Beauty, this novel is set in the same world as USA Today best-selling author Alisha Klapheke’s Dragons Rising series, but listeners can easily start with this book.

I rarely branch out of paranormal romance, but I do make the occasional foray, and I must say I was quite pleased with this particular jaunt off the regular path. Enough so, that I will read the next books in the series (the second is in my audible library already). This book has lovely world building, excellent character development, the detail of a full cast with enough information but not too much about each, a lovely young adult romance, a plot that entails both living up to responsibilities while not sacrificing one's sense of self in the process, and the setup of a solid base for further tales in this world.
Aury is our heroine whose backstory is rather convoluted. She comes across to me as very teenage angsty, but understandably so. I'm happy to say that she grows out of this as the story progresses and learns from her mistakes. She grows both intellectually as well as emotionally/psychologically and that progression is made to feel natural rather than forced as so many young adult novels tend towards. Rather than say I adored her from the start, I will be honest and say I came to like her character as the tale wove on.
Filip was a character I admit to enjoying from the start. He was a bit older than Aury, and much more worldly and the author did a wonderful job of portraying that. He was much more open, and very straightforward overall, which is rather refreshing for a male lead. His playful demeanor was a wonderful touch. Their eventual romance was all the better for the protracted lead up that involved quite a bit of awkward, if adorable, courting.
If you're looking for some fantasy with a healthy helping of romance, some great friendships of varying sorts, a nod to Sleeping Beauty, fantastic magic AND magical beasts, and a great tale of taking the world and making it yours, this is a great book to pick up.
As a side note, the audible was phenomenally well done. Both narrators (they took turns per perspective change) were very good at bringing you into the character's headspace. The male narrator had some very good accent skills.
Definitely A Fantasy Romance To Read Today

Narration was really good for the audiobook. The accents sounded realistic, yet easy to understand. I loved that there were two actors for the FMC & MMC as it really brought a lot of realism to the dual POV for the book.
I have already bought another book and series by this author because I can already tell I enjoy her writing style...and can't wait to hear more of her dragon stories as well!
