Tyra will do anything to keep her family from starvation. One day, when she is searching for food in the woods near her home, she stumbles upon a cave, only to find the Crown Prince locked up and beaten within one inch of his life.
She's drawn to him, her magic pulsing to heal the traitor; but he's dangerous.

Not everything is what it seems.

About the author

Hello! It's fun to have you here, and I can't wait to share with you the stories I've written. (I think that's my favorite part about being an author is gushing over the books I write with other people!)

With that being said, not only am I an author, but a homeschool mom to four beautiful children, and married to the man who inspires most of the swoony scenes you'll read (insert sigh); which goes to say that I'm happily married and he's the best thing that's happened to me.

Along with writing books, I love art (hence my children's books), photography, trying to new recipes, and going on adventures! (Cruises, hikes, strawberry patches, Disney...you name it! We just recently went to Universal Studios (Harry Potter World) and LOVED it!

I love getting out and exploring the beautiful earth my Heavenly Father has created for me and hope to explore Europe one day. (Gotta see those castles for inspiration ;)

“I should have told you the moment you rescued me. I love you, Tyra. You’re all I’ve ever wanted and more.”

💭 𝓜𝔂 𝓣𝓱𝓸𝓾𝓰𝓱𝓽𝓼:
I thought this book was a sweet and fun read! I really liked how unique the story is by how the kingdom fares, with it tied to who's on the throne. I thought that was different from what I've read from other fantasy books. I loved the banter, and the romance between Tyra and Raith was my favorite! ♡

Tʏʀᴀ:
I loved her when I first met her! She took up the role to take care of her younger sister and brother after their parents died. That was sweet, and yet heartbreaking. She was independent, kind, compassionate and determined. I love how she cares deeply about those she loves. Also, seeing her grow and change after learning the truth about the lies the king has spread. I was so happy when that happened because it kind of started to piss me off, to be honest. Her learning a little bit more about the extent of her healing powers was a nice touch, too. And of course, watching her relationship blossom with Raith was so sweet and it made me want to see more of it! 🥰

Rᴀɪᴛʜ:
I wasn't sure what to expect of him. But I will say, I was a bit surprised but it also made me love him immediately. I love how powerful he is, all that magic at his fingertips. And yet when he's with Tyra, he's so gentle and loving. How he looks at her like she's his whole world. Ahhhh! I love it!! And seeing him so protective of her was just… 🫠🫠🫶🏻🫶🏻

I frankly liked his character development better than Tyra’s. He's such a strong, yet compassionate man and you can really feel how much he truly cares and trusts those he loves. I love how even though he's made mistakes in the past, he wants to make them write and save his kingdom. Be the king they need even though he didn't want to become king. It made me love him more. I really wish he had povs in this book, not just at the end!! 😭

Tᴀʟᴏɴ (ᴄʀᴏᴡ):
Not many words to express besides that, I absolutely love him and he's hilarious!! He might very well be my most favorite character out of all the others, haha!

Fɪɴ:
I found him a little annoying in the beginning, then later on I started to tolerate him in a way, lol. It was always hilarious the comments he made when he saw his sister, Tyra, and Raith together. Such sibling behavior. 😂

Sʏʟᴠɪᴀ:
I liked her, and how she helped her sister (Tyra) and trusted her. But I guess I'll see more in the next book since it's her pov.

Cᴇʟɪᴀ:
She's so sweet and such a loving person. I love how she's like a second mother to Tyra! 🥹

Dᴀʀɪᴜs:
Not much to say expect… I DESPISE HIMMMM 😤😤😤

💬 𝓜𝔂 𝓕𝓲𝓷𝓪𝓵 𝓣𝓱𝓸𝓾𝓰𝓱𝓽𝓼:
I enjoyed reading this book! It was a quick and fun read. I just didn't like that cliffhanger at the end and how it'll continue on from there through Sylvia's perspective. Also, there were some grammatical errors on the ebook that sometimes made me confused. And nearing the ending towards the cliffhanger, it felt a bit rushed in opinion. But all in all, I still really liked the book. And the last thing, I'd like to say is... I hope that the king gets what's coming for him!!

⚠️ 𝖈𝖔𝖓𝖙𝖊𝖓𝖙 𝖜𝖆𝖗𝖓𝖎𝖓𝖌𝖘: a scene where the fmc hears the mmc being beaten and crying out in pain, fmc healing and tending to characters with injuries, fmc has a knife to her throat and it draws blood, and the mmc using his powers against others to protect the fmc (I don't know if that counts or makes sense, lol).

I wanted to give this a higher review because the story had so much potential, but it was super short so the pacing was quick and missed more details to fully draw you in. Then it ended on a cliffhanger in the middle of the story so it definitely could’ve been one book instead of 2 with more exposition and a drawn out plot.

I’m not even sure what the FMC’s real name is. In the audio and in the book itself on Kindle, her name changes between “Tyra” and “Trya”. It’s odd that no one caught that typo that occurs so often.
The audio also changes Raith’s name. I would pronounce it like the word “faith” (rhyming). But the computer generated voice calls him “Ray”, “Rah” and “Raya” 🤦🏻‍♀️. I had to stop and think and remind myself they were talking about Raith.

I like the storyline itself. However, the ending wasn’t great.
I know there is a sequel. I just started A Kingdom Betrayed but I struggle with the character switches. It feels random after reading 95% of the book (A Kingdom On Broken Wings) in the FMC’s pov. At the end, it changes to Raith’s pov.
Now, so far in A Kingdom Betrayed, is in Sylvia’s pov. This might not bother others, which is fine. It’s just a bit of an adjustment for myself.
The ending for A Kingdom On Broken Wings just ended too abruptly imo.
I still plan to finish and hopefully A Kingdom Betrayed has a better ending 🙂.

The storyline for this romantic fantasy was good with a missing Prince who is wanted for murder, a land struggling to live, and a girl who is a healer. I love a good royal trope, an MC in distress, a protective hero, and more. However, the execution of it was a bit lacking. I struggled with the style of writing, and, throughout the book, there were many grammatical and punctuation errors. In addition, the tenses would change randomly from sentence to sentence. It needs an editor to go over it. While I didn’t find the romance completely realistic the entire way through, I have been interested enough in the storyline to continue through to book 2 as this is part 1 of a duology. We finally got the MMC’s perspective as the last chapter of this book, so I’m hoping the next book has both POVs. The romance is just kisses, intimacy level 2.

Interesting

There wasn’t much character or story development. It jumped from strangers to “I love you” very quickly with little actual story. The concept of this story is great. I think the next book will be interesting. But I do hope we see more of the original couple. Also, the formatting of this book was weird.

Otherwise, a quick, sweet read. Looking forward to read the next book.

YA Fantasy with a little Romance.
Their whole realm believes that the crown prince is on the run for the murder of his father their king when a poor healer happens to hear his cries from deep inside the cave. Her magic pulls her to him where she helps to heal his injuries and escape his captives despite her better judgment. And that is just the beginning of this tale.

[Megan Lopez · Rating 1 out of 5]

Okay

Slow paced. Many many typos and grammatical errors. The main character's name changed numerous times. I'm still not even sure what her real name is. The main characters did not have any personality and fell in love instantly which did not make it believable.

[Heather · Rating 3 out of 5]

3.5 stars. A few grammatical errors, but way less than usual. Overall quite nice. A bit rushed and the characters seem too good to be true, but compared to the author's previous books this is majestic.

[Britt Richards · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book was pretty fast paced but I thoroughly enjoyed it. My heart swelled with all the emotions, but the betrayal at the end got me. I hope Tyra and Raith will get their happily ever after once everything is all over!

Romance and Political Intrigue

I liked the story, and the pacing was well written. The concept of the ruler being tied to the health and vitality of the kingdom was a fun concept that was executed well.

[Sherry Bailey · Rating 5 out of 5]

There were some typos and sometimes the writing was a bit repetitive,but overall a good story! I like the premise and I really liked all of the characters.

In love with it but abrupt ending :( and yes the story continues in the next book but still - abrupt ending.

[HanaHanaNoMi · Rating 3 out of 5]

2.5 ⭐️

The romance was instant and they didn’t have a lot of personality. I will say I was shocked at the traitor that turned him in but can’t really say I didn’t see it coming
